WINTER PARK, Fla. — A health inspection by the state prompted a popular Italian restaurant in Winter Park to close its doors, but not for long.
Health inspectors found Prato, located at 124 N. Park Ave., had a number of health violations. Among those violations, inspectors say they found rodents, birds, and insects, some of which were dead. Rodent droppings were also found underneath a sink.
Inspectors also reported standing water on the floor, mold in the ice machine and cracked container lids.
Prato, which is listed on the Michelin Guide, was shut down after Tuesday’s inspection. But it reopened on Wednesday after a follow-up inspection reported that the restaurant met state standards.
