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.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 8 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on September 20, 2024. For example: All equipment, food contact surfaces, utensils, dishes & glasses used on the premises are washed and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on January 7, 2022. For example: The premises is free of pests.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 8, 2021. For example: Food is handled in a sanitary manner and is not subject to contamination.

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 13, 2024. For example: A food service establishment must have written procedures to ensure the safe and sanitary operation of the establishment.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded once on October 8, 2019. For example: Operation and maintenance of premises is in accordance with approved floor plans and specifications.

    The Italian Cultural Centre is a beautiful venue for special events. I attended my Drake Medox graduation here last week, and I was impressed by how elegant, spacious, and well-maintained the place is. The atmosphere made the celebration even more memorable. It’s an excellent venue for graduations, weddings, and other special occasions. Highly recommended!

    Great surrounding with Great outdoor seating. Somewhat limited menu with no secondi item, but everything we order were delicious! Pizza is outstanding and free Peroni with each order makes it irresistable.

    We went there last Saturday for our booster shot. We were given a choice. Pfizer or Moderno. That was nice. Most of the people working there were very professional and friendly. Everyone was well behaved. They did really well with the kids. After the shot you’re supposed to stick around for 15 minutes and you know how difficult that can be with kids so they had them do art and write their comments on post it notes and they had boards that you would stick them on. It was very artistically done. We were asked not to take pictures so I respected that. On another note. We did a very little bit of exploring and I was totally blown away by the amazing talented people we have here that were displaying some of their works of art in exhibit area. Then there were the wagons from Sicily and the great looking food. I’ll definitely be back to pick up some of that lasagna for me and Garfield ! There was a lot more to see and explore. Like a good Italian wine you don’t gulp it down. Just sip it slowly and enjoy.
