NAPLES, FLORIDA — Restaurant inspections across Collier County during the past 30 days have uncovered a mixture of food safety violations, enforcement actions, temporary closures and establishments with clean inspection reports.
From Marco Island and Naples to Immokalee and nearby communities, inspectors with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) have continued checking restaurants for compliance with state food safety regulations.
The reporting period covers September 17 through October 16, 2026, using publicly available inspection records reviewed October 17.
While many establishments received relatively few violations, others faced warnings, recommended administrative complaints or emergency closure orders.
Two Naples establishments were identified in publicly available records as having emergency closure actions during the reporting period.
World Tennis Club — Naples
Location: 4802 Airport Road
Inspection date: October 7, 2026
Violations: 5, including 3 high-priority
Reported concern: Rodent activity
Result: Emergency order recommended
A subsequent October 8 inspection was recorded as an emergency-order callback with a time extension. That entry alone does not establish the restaurant’s current operating status.
Steamers of Naples — Naples
Location: 5317 Airport Road
Inspection date: October 1, 2026
Violations: 4, including 1 high-priority
Reported concern: Roach activity
Result: Emergency order recommended
An October 2 follow-up was recorded as Emergency Order Callback Complied, indicating the establishment met the requirements evaluated during that callback.
Emergency closures are precautionary public-health actions rather than automatic disciplinary penalties. Restaurants may reopen after required corrections and regulatory clearance.
The following establishments were among those reporting higher violation totals or significant enforcement outcomes.
Restaurant | Inspection date | Findings | Reported result |
|---|---|---|---|
Grouper & Chips, Naples | Oct. 14 | 15 | See inspection history |
Capri Fish House, Isle of Capri | Oct. 8 | 16, including 2 high-priority | Administrative complaint recommended |
Enzo’s Italian Restaurant, Bonita Springs | Oct. 14 | 14, including 5 high-priority | Administrative complaint recommended |
Vito’s Famous Cheesesteaks, Naples | Sept. 30 | 12, including 4 high-priority | Warning issued |
K Rico Mexican Grill, Naples | Sept. 24 | 10, including 3 high-priority | Warning issued |
Wildberry Cafe, Naples | Oct. 14 | 8, including 1 high-priority | Warning issued |
Tulia Italian Steak, Naples | Oct. 12 | 7, including 3 high-priority | Administrative complaint recommended |
Gogo Gourmet Burgers, Naples | Oct. 14 | 6, including 2 high-priority | Administrative complaint recommended |

An administrative complaint recommendation does not necessarily mean a final disciplinary action has been imposed. Likewise, the number of violations does not by itself establish how serious an establishment’s overall food safety conditions were.
Marco Island restaurants were also inspected during the reporting period, with findings ranging from no reported violations to inspections requiring additional regulatory attention.
Restaurant | Date | Findings |
|---|---|---|
Ciao Bella Ristorante Italiano | Oct. 15 | 6, including 1 high-priority |
Thai Sushi by KJ | Oct. 15 | 6 |
10 K Alley Tesoro | Oct. 13 | 5 |
Cafe Marquise | Oct. 13 | 5 |
Ario – Butcher Shop – Garde Manger | Oct. 13 | 3 |
Ristorante Da Vinci | Oct. 8 | 0 |
The 844 Gulf & Prime | Oct. 8 | 1 |
Mr Crab Cakes | Sept. 23 | 0 |
Kretch’s Restaurant | Sept. 23 | 2 |
Tropical Smoothie Café | Sept. 23 | 3 |
Among the more notable Marco Island findings:
10 K Alley Tesoro, at 400 South Collier Boulevard, received 10 violations, including three high-priority findings, during a September 28 inspection. A subsequent October 13 inspection recorded five violations and a callback administrative complaint recommendation.
Cafe Marquise, at 1069 North Collier Boulevard, had five violations, including two high-priority findings, in its October 13 inspection, with a callback administrative complaint recommendation.
Ristorante Da Vinci had three violations, including one high-priority finding, on September 22. An October 8 callback was recorded as compliant, with zero violations.
These examples show why follow-up inspections are important: a restaurant’s earlier findings may not reflect conditions after corrective action.
Several establishments recorded inspections without cited violations during the reporting period.
Among them were:
Gigi Chicken Coop — Naples, October 14
Turco Taco — Naples, October 14
Ristorante Da Vinci — Marco Island, October 8 callback
Mr Crab Cakes — Marco Island, September 23
A zero-violation inspection is encouraging, although it represents conditions observed during that particular inspection rather than a guarantee of future performance.
Florida restaurant inspectors classify violations according to their potential impact on public health.
High-priority violations involve conditions that can directly contribute to foodborne illness or injury. Examples may include unsafe food temperatures, improper handling of ready-to-eat food, or inadequate employee hygiene.
Intermediate violations involve practices that could lead to unsafe conditions if left uncorrected, such as certain equipment or employee-training deficiencies.
Basic violations generally involve maintenance, cleanliness or operational requirements that are less directly associated with immediate foodborne illness risks.
Not every violation carries the same level of concern, and inspectors may require corrective action during the inspection or schedule a return visit.
The latest inspection activity highlights three important trends for Collier County diners.
First, some establishments continue to receive multiple violations, including high-priority findings that warrant additional attention.
Second, enforcement actions and follow-up visits demonstrate that state inspectors can require corrective action and return to verify compliance.
Third, several restaurants recorded no violations, showing that clean inspection outcomes are also part of the local picture.
Importantly, inspection results are snapshots. A restaurant cited for violations may correct them quickly, while a previously clean establishment could develop problems later.
Residents and visitors can review restaurant inspection histories, recent violations and follow-up results online.
The Florida DBPR provides official public inspection records, including inspection dates, cited violations and enforcement dispositions.

Collier County’s latest restaurant inspection records offer a mixed picture: some establishments received clean reports, others were cited for violations, and two Naples locations faced emergency closure actions during the reporting period.
For consumers, the most useful information is not simply how many violations a restaurant received, but what inspectors found, how serious the findings were and whether subsequent inspections documented corrections.
