No, Via’s not coming back (although AOL sure made it look that way the other day, when it LoDo restaurant — defunct for many months — on its home page). But we hear the Momo family, which didn’t find the commercial success with Via, even with famed chef James Mazzio in the kitchen, that they have with Cherry Creek’s Cucina Colore, will soon be resurrecting the space at 1801 Wynkoop Street as the Icehouse Tavern.

Which will make the space’s fifth incarnation, by our reckoning (counting back from Via through Brasserie Rouge, Anita’s Crabshack and Cucina Cucina). For more on the Momos’ closing of Via, click here (and go to the bottom of the column).
