Score
Across the available record, Morevino has six inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 19, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around five violations to closer to three violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “spray bottle containing toxic substance not labeled” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.
Compared to other Ocala restaurants (averaging 78), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
