Score
Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Public records show four inspections at Tacombi stretching back to 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Jun 26, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

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

Among Manhattan restaurants, the typical score is 77; Tacombi is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
