CORAL SPRINGS, FL. An inspector visiting Guido's Restaurant & Pizzeria on Wiles Road on May 26 found food not cooked to required minimum temperatures, a failure to follow parasite destruction procedures for fish, and employees not reporting symptoms of illness — seven high-severity violations in a single visit. The restaurant was not closed.
The facility at 10641 Wiles Rd remained open and serving customers after the inspection concluded.
What Inspectors Found
The seven high-severity violations documented on May 26 covered nearly every phase of food handling. Food was not cooked to required minimum temperatures, parasite destruction procedures for fish were not followed, food was found in poor condition or adulterated, and no person in charge was present or performing duties.
Two separate handwashing violations were cited in the same visit. Inspectors documented both inadequate handwashing by food employees and improper hand and arm washing technique, meaning workers were not washing their hands at all in some instances and were washing them incorrectly in others.
The remaining high-severity citation involved employees not reporting symptoms of illness.
What These Violations Mean
The undercooking violation is among the most direct public health risks a restaurant inspection can document. Salmonella in poultry survives below 165 degrees Fahrenheit. When food does not reach required minimum internal temperatures, pathogens that proper cooking would destroy reach the plate intact.
The parasite destruction failure compounds that risk for anyone who ordered fish. Without proper freezing protocols or sufficient cooking temperatures, parasites including Anisakis and tapeworm can survive in fish and cause infection in anyone who eats it. This violation means the required safeguards were not in place on the day of the inspection.
The two handwashing violations, taken together, describe a kitchen where the most basic contamination barrier was failing at the technique level and the frequency level simultaneously. Studies show that even an attempt at handwashing leaves pathogens on hands if the technique is wrong. At Guido's on May 26, inspectors found both problems present at the same time.
The illness-reporting failure is the violation that most directly threatens people outside the kitchen. Food workers who do not report symptoms are the documented primary driver of multi-victim outbreaks. Norovirus, in particular, spreads from a single symptomatic worker to dozens of customers through food contact. The absence of a person in charge performing managerial duties means no one was positioned to catch any of these failures before the inspector arrived.
The Longer Record
The May 26 inspection was not an isolated event. State records show 22 inspections on file for Guido's, with 180 total violations accumulated across that history.
The most recent prior inspection, conducted on March 16, 2026, produced 8 high-severity violations and 2 intermediate violations. That was the highest single-visit high-severity count in the facility's recorded history until May's 7-violation visit matched it closely. The inspection before that, in September 2025, produced 5 high-severity violations.
Going further back, the pattern holds. Inspectors documented 7 high-severity violations in a June 2023 visit and 4 in August 2023. The facility recorded 3 high-severity violations each in March 2025, January 2022, and September 2021. The only inspection in the recent record that produced zero high-severity violations was December 2024, which logged 2 intermediate violations.
The facility has never been emergency-closed in its inspection history on record.
Still Open
What the May 26 inspection record shows is a kitchen where undercooking, parasite protocol failures, handwashing breakdowns, and illness-reporting failures were all present on the same day. Florida inspection rules allow facilities to remain open after high-severity violations when those violations do not meet the threshold for emergency closure.
Guido's Restaurant & Pizzeria on Wiles Road met that threshold. It remained open.
