Antoniazzi'S Penguin Cafe food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Gwynedd

Antoniazzi'S Penguin Cafe holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the restaurant met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Antoniazzi'S Penguin Cafe none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.
