Tello’s is a great restaurant located downtown South Haven. The atmosphere is very romantic and inviting for a dinner for two or with friends. Soft jazz music plays overhead while you enjoy the authentic Italian food, made with ingredients from local farmers. There is an extensive wine list with many wines grown here in Michigan.
I’ve been to Tello’s a few times in the past few years, most recently after helping a friend move into his new place at Central Lofts in downtown South Haven. We decided to go get dinner and chose Tello’s because of it’s nearby location and great food. I was feeling adventurous and ordered rabbit for my meal. However, turned out that they were out of rabbit, so instead I ordered the rack of lamb. The lamb was delicious and the minty pesto sauce on top was superb. Service was great and the staff was very polite. We didn’t have to wait for a table at all and the food came very quickly, which was nice.
Tello’s is located on Pheonix St. right next to Dyckman Park in downtown South Haven. They are open Monday – Thursday 3 p.m. – 10 p.m. and Friday – Sunday 11:30 a.m. – 11 p.m.

Tunnel Park is located just a few miles north of Holland State Park. It is a popular 22-acre park with a unique tunnel through the dune. As well as a great beach the park has a dune to climb and run down, a children’s playground, and places to picnic. At the top of the dune is a nice area to sit and watch a sunset or watch the boats on Lake Michigan.
Holland State Park is a large beach/park on the shores of Lake Michigan. The park has two campgrounds, one on the beach, and the other on Lake Macatawa. The area is famous for “Big Red”, a lighthouse on the channel. The beach is clean and has a concession stand.
