Score
Vinci has been inspected 16 times since 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 13, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around four violations each.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited eight times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Vinci on the better side of that line. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
