Score
Going back to 2023, Asame La Papa has four inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 4, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 18 violations each, up from closer to one violation before.
Compared to other Orlando restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
