Score
Inspectors have visited Tutto Italiano 17 times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 2020. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 1, 2020, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited 11 times.
Tutto Italiano's latest score of 90 sits above the Chicago average of 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
