Got the cacio e pepe with the homemade sausage, incredible! The bread you get is also quite amazing.The staff has great energy.And the atmosphere has a classic old brick building Italian restaurant vibe.Will definitely return.

Went here to get some of their absolutely fabulous pizza and as always it didn't disappoint. I went with the Funghi pizza for the first try of it and I think it's going to the top as one of my favorites. Loads of flavor, perfectly cooked and piping hot. Finished it off with some of their arancini which has the best sweet tasting sauce with it. Besides the awesome food the atmosphere is warm, inviting and unique. You gotta try this place!

Been here multiple times while in Detroit for work. Good feel, service has been great both times, everything i've ordered has been really good, and so much more affordable than most places with this quality of food.

I'm always open to try somewhere new..... This was DEFINITELY an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was delicious!!! The entire restaurant had that itialian feel!!! Staff was friendly and polite... (that goes a long way). I've found a new spot to frequent in Corktown. Thanks Guys!!!?

Love LOVE that we stopped here, the pecorini plate, and garlic shrimp were fantastic! The atmosphere was quiet and enjoyable. The bathrooms were clean and decorated just lovely. Our waitress aimee was wonderful! She really knew the dishes and how they tasted.

Great place, great food, great servers with nice indoor dinning and casual outdoor area. Bocci ball area and fire pits outside. Just an overall neat place to enjoy time with others. We will be back as we have been several times and look forward to the next.

Celebrated our Anniversary there one evening and we will definitely be going back next time we are down there. (Can't wait for the warm weather to try out their patio.)We must say it was one of the best places we have been to in awhile. The Mgr. was beyond kind and hospitable, the Staff were attentive and professional, not to mention we were shocked with how big the layout is inside, with separate areas for adequate seating. The prices are very reasonable too for the quality of the dishes!So when you go and it's a long wait- DON'T let the waiting turn you away....it speaks for itself with how popular the place is.....It's in a nice area, so while we waited we were able to walk around or took a seat outside. They have a great system in place for the wait-list, so you don't feel tied to stand in the doorway.Well done Ottava Via! ??????????

This was our first visit and we truly hope it won't be our last. We had a fantastic experience. The food and drink presentation, quality and taste were all excellent. The service was fast, friendly, efficient, and very welcoming. The atmosphere is perfect for families, dates, a nice dinner with friends or even a celebration. The pasta was perfect, the salad was wonderful, the appetizers were great. This was just a wonderful experience all around. We had 3 entrees, three appetizers (bread was one) 4 cocktails and two glasses of wine for about $140.

My husband and I went here for dinner before a concert at the MGM Casino, and we had a really good meal. What I liked: - quick service with friendly wait staff - we were seated immediately even without a reservation - the food was very tasty - we ordered a small plate - the garlic and goat cheese with crostini. If you are a garlic lover, you will love this dish. There were about 15 roasted garlic cloves on top of a creamy goat cheese spread. Wow! Really good. We then ordered the margherita pizza. Very flavorful. I highly recommend both of these dishes. - we also ordered some wine which was good. - the bathrooms are clean and warm (which was helpful on a rainy evening) - the decor is very cool and relaxing. There was nothing I didn't like. The service and the food were excellent. I recommend this place and would definitely go again.

Excellent food, excellent service, fun atmosphere. I love it when I can eat upscale food in a casual setting casually dressed. They don't take reservations but they are open for lunch and dinner.
