The health department has logged four inspections at La Nonna Restaurant, the earliest from 2022. La Nonna Restaurant was last inspected on May 9, 2024. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around 18 violations to closer to 14 violations per visit.
“Establishment has no written procedures for employees” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
Compared to other Sweetwater restaurants (averaging 63), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
