About Us

Fifteen years ago, our original founders took their dream of owning the homiest historical restaurant in Dowagiac and transformed it into the reality that is Wood Fire Trattoria. Now, owner Martin Schmaltz and staff are on a mission to keep that dream alive! This 150-year-old building is brimming with stories and good company. Every dish is cooked with care and attention to detail with half of our menu items prepared in a real wood-fire oven -- one of the last allowed in the city. It's this unique atmosphere and finer dining experience that draws in both locals and travelers alike. Whether you're celebrating with friends or enjoying an intimate dinner for two, you'll soon discover this place is the warmest and inviting spot in town.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
