Ottava Via in Detroit’s Corktown is a cozy Italian spot with a rustic vibe and friendly staff. The brick oven pizzas are a hit—especially the Funghi and Margherita—and the garlic shrimp appetizer is a must-try. They offer gluten-free pasta options at no extra charge, which is a nice touch. The outdoor patio with bocce ball courts and fire pits adds a fun twist. Service is generally great, though it can get busy on weekends, so plan ahead. Overall, a solid choice for a relaxed night out.
