Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

La Ricura Restaurant Bakery has been inspected three times since 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 24, 2024. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

When inspectors have written things up, “cold TCS food item held above 41 °F” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
