Vienna Restaurant Inspections: Vocelli Pizza, Sunflower Vegetarian

VIENNA, VA — With Fairfax County Health Department's restaurant inspection reports back online, we continue to look at reports in the Town of Vienna.

The health department's environmental health staff inspect over 5,200 restaurants and other retail food service establishments in Fairfax County and cities of Falls Church and Fairfax to ensure safe food handling practices are followed. This includes proper sanitation, food storage and preparation, and adequate kitchen facilities. Aside from restaurants, staff inspect child care centers, hospitals, school cafeterias, and temporary food service vendors at festivals.

Until summer 2022, food establishment inspection reports had been unavailable online since 2019 as the health department worked to launch a new online system. Residents can now search for a specific restaurant or browse a map of inspected locations through the online database.

The health department cautions residents that a single inspection should not be used to evaluate a restaurant. Pieter Sheehan, the Fairfax County environmental health director, says "it is important to look at multiple inspection reports for a facility to truly understand their approach and commitment to food safety and sanitation."

This week's report focuses on December reports around the Town of Vienna. Click on each link to see the full report for the restaurant.
