High Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 12, 2024. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. Note that Ciao Italia's inspection history hasn't been updated since Mar 12, 2024; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around eight violations compared to roughly 12 violations earlier on.

“Opened employee beverage container in a cold holding unit” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

That's lower than the typical Orlando restaurant, which scores around 79. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
