Jul 29, 2025 — Complaint inspection

Fail

Triggered by a public complaint about this restaurant.

Two coolers stored food at dangerously warm temperatures; nearly 75 pounds of food was discarded.

Key Findings

  • Two refrigeration units were running too warm (48°F and 53°F instead of 41°F or below), forcing staff to discard 75 pounds of prepared foods including pasta, chicken, meatballs, sausage, Italian beef, and cheeses.
  • Ice machines on two floors had pinkish-black buildup on interior surfaces, a food-contact area that must be clean.
  • Multiple cold foods were stored at unsafe temperatures (44-50°F), requiring immediate disposal.
  • Three handwashing sinks had no soap, and a prep area lacked a handwashing sink entirely.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
