A good, made-from-scratch restaurant, beloved by locals and students

Before walking through the door of Viva Maria, all I knew about the place was that it was an Italian restaurant with big portions and huge support from both the local community and ONU campus crowd. My husband and I walked up to the restaurant around 8 p.m. on a weeknight.  

The restaurant is currently housed in the historic Ada Armory. Do not be fooled by the stark, industrial facade; this building houses a good, made-from-scratch Italian-American restaurant, beloved by both locals and students.  

A community education and Naloxone (Narcan) kit distribution will be held at McGuffey Community Room from 5:30 until 7 p.m. on Monday..

Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone) is a community based overdose education and Naloxone distribution program. It was created to combat Ohio’s opioid overdose epidemic.

This training and Naloxone could save a person’s life.
