Score
Public records show 30 inspections at Papa T's Italiano stretching back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Jul 14, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near six violations each time.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” comes up most often, recorded 13 times in the inspection record.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
