Buca Di Beppo
Last inspected: Dec 17, 2025
74
Score
Inspectors have visited Buca Di Beppo eight times, with records going back to 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 17, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “ice buildup in walk-in freezer” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Davie restaurant, which scores around 79. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
