Score
The health department has logged seven inspections at Viaggio, the earliest from 2016. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 28, 2023. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. Viaggio's record stops at Mar 28, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around six violations, down from roughly eight violations earlier in the record.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Viaggio on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
