Score
The health department has logged 12 inspections at Peperoncino, the earliest from 2023. The most recent report on file is from Dec 1, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near eight violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Current hotel and restaurant license not displayed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing eight times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Orlando restaurant, which scores around 79. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
