Score
Inspectors have visited La Piadineria seven times, with records going back to 2023. On Mar 17, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around six violations compared to roughly 12 violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “no handwashing sign provided at a hand sink used” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
Compared to the broader Miami Beach restaurant scene, where the average is 69, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
