Low Risk

Going back to 2022, Giorgio's Cafe & Deli has four inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 1, 2023. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 1, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average West Palm Beach restaurant scores 80. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
