Hotel Dello
Last inspected: Feb 5, 2026
67
Score
Hotel Dello has been inspected nine times since 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 5, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “food-contact surface soiled with food debris” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Dania Beach restaurant, which scores around 80. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
