Low Risk

Across the available record, Annies has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2025. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 2, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “insects, rodents & animals not present”, showing up six times.

Among Newport restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
