Score
Going back to 2023, Valenti Allegro Bistro has 13 inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 7, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around five violations to closer to seven violations.
When inspectors have written things up, “accumulation of debris on the top exterior” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
The city-wide average sits at 78, which Valenti Allegro Bistro's 50 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
