Score
Trattoria Romana appears in inspection records 11 times, starting in 2022. The most recent report on file is from Apr 1, 2026. 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 four violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “clam/mussel/ tags not marked with last date served”, which has been cited two times.
Compared to other Boca Raton restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
