Restaurant inside Eataly closes due to vermin, officials say
Key Points:
- The Terra restaurant on the third floor of Eataly was closed by Santa Clara County Environmental Health due to vermin contamination following a public complaint about rodents.
- An inspection found no rodents but confirmed live and dead cockroaches in the kitchen area, leading to the suspension of the restaurant's health permit.
- The restaurant manager stated that pest control services were performed, the facility was cleaned and sanitized, and potentially contaminated food was discarded.
- Terra will remain closed until all inspection issues are resolved and a reinspection confirms the vermin problem has been addressed.
- Eataly has not responded to requests for comment regarding the closure.
