Traverse City's Market & Wine Shop
Folgarelli's Market & Wine Shop has been a destination for authentic Italian foods, gourmet ingredients, fine wines, and award-winning sandwiches for more than four decades. What began as a family dream in 1978 has grown into one of Northern Michigan's most beloved specialty markets while staying true to its old-world roots. Our story began long before Folgarelli's opened its doors in Traverse City. Boniface Fox Folgarelli spent his career in Detroit's traditional Italian food industry, working alongside generations of customers who valued quality ingredients, exceptional service, and a true neighborhood market experience. After retiring and relocating to Traverse City with his wife, Marge, Fox quickly realized the area was missing the kind of authentic Italian market he had dedicated his life to.
About Folgarelli's
Determined to bring that experience to Northern Michigan, Fox and Marge partnered with their family to open Folgarelli's Market & Wine Shop. Inspired by the classic Italian markets of Detroit, they created a place where customers could discover premium meats and cheeses, imported specialty foods, fresh ingredients, and hard-to-find culinary treasures from around the world.
Today, Folgarelli's remains proudly family-owned and operated by its third generation. While the market has evolved over the years, our commitment to quality, tradition, and outstanding customer service remains unchanged.
