  • Aperitivo has served imported and domestic cheese, charcuterie, gourmet foods, wine, beer and cider at the market for 13 years.

Aperitivo Wine Bar, located in the Grand Rapids Downtown Market, is set to close on April 27, 2025, and will be replaced by Squibb Coffee, a new venture by the same owners, Matt and Kristy Schmidt.
