Ottava Via
Corktown’s wood-fired Neapolitan option, built for a long table and another round.
NOAH’S TAKE
Ottava Via gives Pizza Mode a relaxed Italian dinner on Michigan Avenue. The pizzas are Neapolitan-style and wood-fired, with pasta, small plates, cocktails, a patio, and bocce supplying plenty of reasons to stay after the first pie lands.
