Inspection summary

4 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control.

The last 3 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on March 29, 2023. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times on March 29, 2023. For example: 3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on March 29, 2023. For example: 5 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on March 29, 2023. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    Have you ever had food that was so magnificent that you couldn't help but make a noise with every bite. The freshness and love that went into every dish are incomparable to any restaurant I have ever been to. The decor is simple, but the food was outstanding. Made from scratch with the perfect blends of spices and pairings to make a mouthwatering experience for your pallet. Perfectly portioned, so you leave satisfied, yet not heavy and bloated. Friendly faces, excellent service fair prices, and truly an authentic Italian restaurant. I was only visiting Penticton for a short time and returned twice, bringing more people . I definitely will return again every single time I go to the Okanagan. This place is a must while you are in the area. The photos attached do not do the dishes justice as we couldn't wait to savor each tasting; then I remembered to take pictures, lol.

    I experienced this restaurant with a good friend. We both ordered Pasta dishes and they were truley exquisite. Their pasta is homemade as well as their sauces. I also ordered 2 frozen pizzas to go and we had the meat lovers and it fed 4 of us beautifully and the pizza was the best pizza I ever tasted. I live in Westkelowna but I will definitely go back to Penticton to try their Focassia Baked sandwiches next time and bring home more pizzas.

    When you enter the restaurant is now divided in half for takeout waiting area and dine-in service. Everyone was wearing masks and hand sanitizer was available for use. The service was fast and friendly, and portions generous. Cannelloni wasn't available at the time I went so the cream puff/meringue combo was ordered instead. It was delicious, no regrets there.

    Had the loveliest meal at Gusto Ferrari in Penticton today and just had to share. 🇮🇹❤️ Can't believe waited so long to dine here. I started with the Half Sized Primavera Salad — so fresh and flavourful, it tasted like it was straight from the garden. Then came the Margherita Pizza, hot from the wood-fired oven. Thin, crispy crust, perfect cheese, and that classic tomato-oregano combo... honestly, it was comfort on a plate. It felt like a little taste of Italy right here in the Okanagan. If you haven’t been, do yourself a favour and check it out. You’ll leave full and happy.

    Wow! Finally checked this place out, and am I glad we did! Popped in for lunch, and decided to share a pizza and an order of the crab ravioli. The pizza was by far the best I’ve had in the okanagan. The sauce was delicious and the toppings were high quality and generous. The crab ravioli was out of this world, and the sauce it was served with was “lick the plate” delicious. We made the mistake of looking in the takeout section as we were leaving, and spent far more than we should have, but less than we wanted too—everything looked great and was impossible to resist. Can’t wait to try the various things we picked up. Service was great, wine reasonably priced. This is definitely going to be a go to for us when visiting Penticton.
