On top of a series of scathing reviews, the New York City restaurant owned by Lady Gaga and her family this week scored miserably during a Department of Health inspection that found six "critical" violations, including failing to protect food from potential contamination, The Smoking Gun has learned.

The October 2 inspection of Joanne Trattoria on Manhattan's West Side found eight separate sanitary infractions, totaling a whopping 42 violation points.

It’s not good to have a ‘Poker Face’ for the county health department on inspection day.

Lady GagGag’s.

They should rename it “The Petri Dish.”

[trisham]

I’m surprised. LGG is all about the facade.

[GeronL]

Inspectors found that nude waiters who wear your food is not good hygiene

[trisham]

Oy. I meant to say: I’m *not* surprised. LGG is all about the facade.

A Petri dish owned by a Petri dish.

Apparently the meat isn't kosher.

Ha! In fairness, I think I've read articles before on FR where the rules for kitchens is VERY tough when they want to enforce them - to the point of being ridiculous.

[a fool in paradise]

Mmmm. Crabs.

Why should anyone be surprised that her restaurant couldn’t pass a Health Department inspection?

The woman is a walking STD.

[RobertClark]

Not a good month for them. The NY Post review of the restaurant a few weeks ago declared it to be “the worst thing since herpes”.

[novascotianative]

I do believe she is the grossest thing on this planet.

Someone didn’t get an adequate pay off. I worked in a newly opened restaurant in New Jersey. Nothing got done without a huge pay off. It was an eye opener for this girl from the Bible Belt.

[nascarnation]

I’m not at all familiar with NYC. Will people still go there just because her name is on it?

Lady GaGa = Madonna, without all the talent

I moved to NJ from the Midwest for my first job. The week after I moved in there was a big hit on some top mob guys walking out of a restaurant in NYC and hit by machine guns. I suppose lots of folks are on the take in NYC.
