Launching a new program implemented by Newton’s Health and Human Services, Newton’s restaurants mostly rate as either “superior” or “excellent.”

Inspectors use a four-point rating for restaurant’s safety practices with categories “superior,” “excellent,” “fair” or “unacceptable,” reports the Boston Globe.

By October’s end, 61 of Newton’s 200 restaurants had been rated, but only a handful did not earn the “superior” or “excellent” range.

The grades, which include such restaurants as West Newton Pizza, The Local and Comelia’s, can be found here.

Officials hope to have all Newton’s restaurants rated by the end of January.
