Silverspoon Takeout, Fort Lauderdale

Ordered shut: Aug. 12, reopened Aug. 13

Why: 14 violations (four high-priority), including 56 rodent droppings “on floor in storeroom by kitchen” and behind a cooler next to the walk-in freezer, which the owner cleaned and sanitized. Inspectors also spotted damaged

kitchen ceilings and “equipment in poor repair,” such as a kitchen chest freezer with its “door handle broken off.” Inspectors let the restaurant reopen Aug. 13 after they discovered one minor issue.

Ankari 51, Hollywood

Ordered shut: Aug. 11, reopened Aug. 12 Why: After shutting Ankari 51 down in June, the state closed the Peruvian restaurant again after spotting 14 violations (four high-priority), such as 16 rodent droppings “in the storage area behind the chest freezer,” behind the ice machine near the rear kitchen door, and underneath “a shelf storing bottled water” in the storeroom. Inspectors let Ankari reopen Aug. 12, although that reinspection found more minor and major issues.

Antonio’s Ristorante, Deerfield Beach

Ordered shut: Aug. 9, reopened Aug. 10 Why: Four violations (two high-priority), including 18 live cockroaches crawling “on the cook line,” on a shop vac, behind the water heater and on a “prep table where [pizza] slicer and … can opener are located.” Inspectors also spotted 15 dead roaches “on left side of pizza line,” in the cooking area, on top of boxes of canned pizza sauce, underneath a washing area and underneath a “dish rack holding clean wares” near the walk-in cooler. The restaurant was allowed to reopen Aug. 10 with zero follow-up violations.

Giovanni’s Pizza, Boca Raton

Ordered shut: Aug. 11, Aug. 12 and Aug. 13, reopened Aug. 13

Why: Three violations (two high-priority), including five live roaches spotted beneath a “triple sink at end of cook line” and “under cookline coolers” was enough to justify temporarily closing the pizzeria. Giovanni’s didn’t conquer its pest problem during inspectors’ second visit Aug. 12 and third visit Aug. 13, which found more live roaches. Finding the restaurant roach-free on their fourth visit Aug. 13, inspectors finally let Giovanni’s reopen later that day with a single minor issue.

Over the Bridge Café, Delray Beach

Ordered shut: Aug. 13, reopened same day Why: Inspectors, who shut down this café nearly three months earlier for rodent droppings, spotted a familiar problem during their Aug. 13 visit. They saw four violations (two high-priority), led by 25 rodent droppings spotted on the floor near the “entrance to kitchen and cook line,” and beneath “a glassdoor refrigerator” next to the kitchen. The state let Over the Bridge reopen the same day after finding zero issues during reinspection.
