Ottava Via
 1400 Michigan Ave.
Detroit, MI 48226
 313-962-5600


Ottava Via is located on 8th Street (Ottava Via is Italian for 8th Street) and Michigan Avenue directly across 8th from Nemo's.  Ottava has been open since the summer of '13 and is one of the newer restaurants in Corktown.  It is located in a building that used to be the Dime Bank and still features the bank's Loan sign.  

Ottava Via features moderately priced Italian fare including individual pizzas.  They also offer a good variety of craft and imported beers and wines.  I have sampled their Italian pizza, calamari appetizer and Carbonara entree and really enjoyed them all.

The inside features remnants from the bank as well as traditional Italian and modern decor.  It has a lot of open space and a high ceiling so it can get loud.  The two times that I have visited, it was very busy and we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table.  I found that the waitresses were very good and accommodating.

Ottava Via is yet another go to establishment that is part of the expanding Corktown scene.
