Downtown Salt Lake City deli is shut down for having a dirty kitchen, broken refrigerator

A downtown Salt Lake City deli with a dirty kitchen and a refrigerator that couldn’t keep foods cold, was shut down Wednesday by the Salt Lake County Health Department.

Gandolfo’s New York Deli, 158 S. Main, was closed, according to a notice on the department website, because the restaurant “lacks the capacity to hold potentially hazardous food at 41 [degrees] Fahrenheit or below due to damaged and nonfunctional cold-holding equipment.”

The damaged equipment was one of 58 violations discovered at the restaurant. Of those, 22 are considered critical to human health.

The restaurant will remain closed until the owner can fix problems, and health inspectors say it is safe for the public.
