Other · Traverse City, MI

Space transformed Traverse City's dining scene when it opened in a converted downtown warehouse, bringing authentic Italian cuisine to Michigan's cherry capital. Chef-owner Marco Benedetti spent years perfecting traditional recipes from his grandmother's kitchen in Tuscany before making Traverse City his home. The industrial brick walls and exposed beams create an unexpectedly warm atmosphere where handmade pasta meets Northern Michigan ingredients. Local mushrooms find their way into rich risottos, while Great Lakes fish gets the Italian treatment. Space proves that exceptional Italian food can thrive in the heart of Michigan's wine country.
