Score
Going back to 2022, Imperium Food & Wine has eight inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Dec 19, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around nine violations to closer to four violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “stop sale issued on time/temperature control” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
The city-wide average for Celebration sits at 69, putting Imperium Food & Wine on the better side of that line. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
