- Palace Italian Restaurant, 6120 U.S. 98 N., Lakeland: On June 17, the restaurant had four violations, including two high-priority violations. One was for a dish machine that wasn’t mixing sanitizer. The dish machine was shut down and a manual dish washing station was set up until the machine was repaired. The other was for operating with a Division of Hotels and Restaurants license that expired on Feb. 1. There also were two basic violations: one for an accumulation of debris on the interior shield of an ice machine, and the other for soiled gaskets in a salad flip-top unit at a service station. A warning was issued and a follow-up was required. In a June 24 follow-up, the restaurant met standards with zero violations.
Remember that in some cases, violations are noted are technical issues not directly linked to hygiene or cleanliness. Remember, too, that broken refrigerators, chipped tiles or fast work may add up to unintended mistakes.
Regardless, if you notice abuses of state standards, report them and DBPR will send inspectors. Call 850-487-1395.
