- WWilliamGoldGrand Rapids / Western Michigan •46 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoMy companion and I both enjoyed the Frutti di Mari. Lots of shrimp, calamari, mussels and delicious pasta. This restaurant is a little gem. Our server Angelina was delightful and responsive. Parking is easy nearby. We ate at a more upscale restaurant the following night and that experience was not nearly as enjoyable and much worse bang for the buck. We will definitely return the next time we are in TC.More infoNittolo's Little Italy$$$$• Italian• Traverse City•4.5

Discover Northern Michigan
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a heavily forested region rich in game. This area features plenty of outdoor activities and a short but produce-rich summer season. Multiple wineries dot Northern Michigan, offering tastings and dining options paired with the intense and fruity wines made from short-season grapes. Freshwater fish, both cooked and smoked, are abundant and prepared to perfection. Fans of craft beer will enjoy both the beverages and the views of the surrounding lakes in the gorgeous country north of Lake Michigan. If the chill is hard to shake, you can warm things up in Marquette with a Cajun dinner. Be sure to save room for dessert. The Upper Peninsula is rich with wild berries, and you can't leave without trying some pie!
