Restaurant inspections

County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.

  • Amore Italian Bakery & Bistro at 2108 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on November 20. The restaurant received a score of 94 out of 100. The inspector found that a handwashing sink in the kitchen was blocked by dishes and a pot with eggs, making it inaccessible for employees to wash their hands. The restaurant was required to keep the sink clear and use it only for handwashing. The staff promptly removed the items and cleaned the sink, correcting the issue during the inspection.
