A Wirral restaurant has dramatically improved its food hygiene rating, after getting the worst possible score last month.
Portofino, in Union Terrace, New Brighton, was given a four-star rating, the second best possible score, after a fresh inspection on April 19. The news comes less than a month after it was revealed the restaurant scored zero stars in an inspection which took place on February 18.
Although the full food hygiene report was not published, information released along with the rating showed there were particular concerns in the areas of ‘hygienic food handling’ and ‘management of food safety’. A spokesperson for Portofino said they felt the restaurant did not deserve the zero star rating it received after the February inspection.
