Attendees at a wedding rehearsal dinner held on May 31, 2013 at Martinelli's Little Italy Restaurant in Salina, Kansas became ill with norovirus. Individuals in two other groups who consumed food prepared at Martinelli's on May 31 also reported illness.

Twenty‐eight cases and five secondary cases of gastroenteritis were associated with consuming food at a wedding rehearsal dinner at Martinelli’s Little Italy on March 31. Additionally, five others reported gastroenteritis after consuming food from the restaurant on that evening. Norovirus was confirmed as the causative agent among three individuals who attended the wedding rehearsal dinner and one individual who was not related to the wedding group. No one was hospitalized and no one died.

On June 4, Kansas Department of Agriculture conducted an onsite inspection at the restaurant. The inspection revealed two priority violations and two priority foundation violations: dried food on kitchen knives, an inaccurate make table thermometer, bread stored in non‐food‐grade bags, and macaroni salad held above the required cold holding temperature threshold. KDA returned to the establishment on June 26 to provide education on norovirus.

Eight employee surveys were returned to SSCHD — no gastrointestinal illness was reported
among these employees.
