High Risk

Going back to 2022, Skillets has 10 inspections in the public record. On Aug 22, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “equipment and utensils not properly air-dried - wet nesting”, which has been cited six times.

That's lower than the typical Naples restaurant, which scores around 81. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
