Cucina Moderna in Boynton Beach
Last inspected:
9918 Lyons Rd Ste 250, Boynton Beach, FL 33472Cucina Moderna, a 150-seat restaurant in Boynton Beach, has a severe compliance history marked by an emergency closure and sustained high-priority violations. The facility was emergency-closed on October 28, 2025 for fly activity and issued an admin complaint. Across 21 inspections from 2016 to present, the facility accumulated 89 violations, averaging 4.2 per inspection—below Florida's statewide average of 5.2, but the composition of violations is the critical factor: high-priority violations (handwashing, employee health policy, management awareness, shell stock requirements) appeared in 13 of the most recent 8 inspections, indicating persistent systemic management failures. Hand washing violations alone were cited in 3 consecutive inspections from December 2025 through March 2026. Shell stock requirements (raw oyster and clam handling) were cited in 5 of the last 8 inspections, suggesting inadequate cold-chain management and potential risk for shellfish-borne pathogens. The most recent inspection on March 2, 2026 documented three high-priority handwashing violations and triggered an administrative complaint recommendation, the second formal escalation in three months.
Most recent closure: October 28, 2025 for fly activity.
