HISTORY

Trattoria Funistrada was started in 2000 by Tom and Holly Reay after they located the perfect property for an Italian restaurant in Burdickville. Tom and Holly, long-time residents of the Leelanau Peninsula, ventured into their own business after noticing a distinct lack of quality Italian restaurants catering to tourists.

-- Incidentally, Tom was a former bartender at Art's Bar in Glen Arbor for 10 years (where you can occasionally catch him slurping a few brews) while Holly was the manager of Dave's Place in Empire.

Chef Tom soon took Funistrada to fantastic heights, winning the "Best New Restaurant in the North" award in July 2001 by the local acclaimed publication, Traverse Magazine. (Click on photo on right to enlarge)

Funistrada is known for its excellent, authentic cuisine using the freshest ingredients that even mamma in Italy would be proud of. Locals continue to praise Funistrada for its top-of-the-line service and quality entrees. So, come on out to Funistrada and see what Northern Michigan is bragging about!
