Norwalk Health Department Announces This Year’s Top Lighthouse Ratings for Norwalk Food Service Establishments

Mayor Harry Rilling and Norwalk Director of Health Deanna D’Amore hold the annual presentation of the Health Department’s Top Lighthouse Rating certificates.

The presentation this year will recognize Pauli’s Deli & Bagels, which is among the 267 restaurants and food establishments that will receive a Top Lighthouse Rating from the Health Department this year.

Join the Health Department and Mayor Rilling at the Annual Presentation at Pauli’s Deli & Bagels, 205 Main Street, Norwalk on Tuesday, February 11, 10:00 am.

Certificates went out to all establishments. In 2018, 49% of the eligible restaurants in Norwalk received an award.

This year, 58% of eligible restaurants received this award, which is the highest percentage of awards that the Norwalk Health Department has awarded to our establishments.

The Health Department bases Lighthouse Ratings on Norwalk food establishments’ inspection records and compliance with public health code guidelines. The Health Department awards Top Lighthouse Ratings to establishments that receive consecutive excellent inspection grades in the previous year. To publicly recognize the commitment of these top-rated establishments to the public health code safety and sanitary guidelines, the Health Department presents them with certificates for display.
