Stecchino gets DOH’d

8 March 2014 11:23pm Stecchino

The health department has struck again, this time shuttering Stecchino, the Italian/​American restaurant on 9th Ave just north of 51st St.

They racked up 94 violation points in their inspection this week, more than two and a half times their previous worst score. Not a good week I guess. They managed to get both the “live roaches” and “live/​evidence of mice” ones, as well as a number of food handling and employee based violations, so that’s comforting.

Not wanting focus to go towards the health department closure notice, they’ve put their own giant sign up explaining the closure as a result of “mechanical problems”:

So distracting I even missed the DOH notice at first

Hopefully they can sort out their “mechanical problems” and reopen cleaner than ever!

Thanks to HK regular George for the heads up!
