Score

Medium Risk

With just one inspection in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 15, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

When inspectors have written things up, proper hot holding temperatures has been the most frequent reason, cited one time.

Compared to other Providence restaurants (averaging 80), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
