Score
Schastea has been inspected four times since 2023. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 2, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
The latest visit found zero violations, down from 14 violations the time before.
When inspectors have written things up, personal cleanliness has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to the broader Providence restaurant scene, where the average is 80, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
