Detroit: Corktown’s Ottava Via
In 2013 David Steinke (who also co- owns the Mercury Burger Bar on Michigan Ave) and Tim Springstead (who co-owns Nemos Bar also on Michigan Ave) had the thought of opening a new and exciting restaurant in Corktown. The area was bouncing back and the building right across from Nemos, at the corner of 8th St. and Michigan Ave, was available and turned out to be the perfect location for them to open up an Italian restaurant. Ottava Via (pronounced O-Tava Via), which translates to Eighth Way or 8th Street was the perfect and most obvious name, and it sound cool. The building, which was built in 1914, is the former home of Dime Saving Bank way back in the day and most recently a pawn shop before being transformed into what it is today.
