Viva Maria Ada, OH — Restaurant in Liberty Township

Ordered Viva Maria recently and tried a pretty full spread—spaghetti with marinara, fettuccine aolfredo with chicken, a meat lovers calzone, and a triple chocolate cake. Both pasta dishes came with fresh side salads (I chose ranch dressing) and two breadsticks each. We paid around $50 for the whole meal, which is honestly impressive considering the generous portion sizes. If you’re looking for value, they definitely don’t skimp.

As for the flavor, things got a little mixed. The pastas—while filling—were noticeably bland. Not bad, just missing that punch of flavor you expect. We tried adding our own seasoning to both the marinara and Alfredo to liven things up. On the bright side, the chicken in the alfredo had great seasoning and really carried the dish—definitely recommend asking for it if you're ordering that.

The breadsticks were just okay. Not super soft and lacking much flavor, but they served their purpose. The salads were a nice mix of greens and added a fresh touch, though one tomato had a pit still in it that probably should’ve been removed—but beyond that, no complaints there.

The meat lovers calzone started off strong—good breading, tasty meats—but the ricotta cheese hit a weird note for me. It seemed to mute the other flavors instead of enhancing them. If I got it again, I’d ask for it without the ricotta, because everything else in the calzone was solid.

To wrap it up, the triple chocolate cake was a pleasant surprise. Not overly sweet, more on the dark chocolate side, but still tasty and satisfying.

Overall, I’m glad I gave Viva Maria a shot. The portions are amazing and the pricing is fair. Flavor-wise, it may just come down to personal preference—someone else might love the mildness. For me, it wasn’t quite a standout meal, but still a...

A-1.1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dominic provides an authentic Italian experience, wine, or any other kind of beverage you'd like to pair with the phenomenal food 🤤(They have a bar🍻). The atmosphere is exactly what you would want, and expect from a mom and pop Italian place. They take the time to get to know you, and the table service cannot be beat!

If youre on the go they have a drive thru window, or delivery!

It may sound funny, but the meatballs are masterful. They're in their own league. I can't figure it out! I frequently crave them, and sometimes just go solo on a meatball order. 😂🤤

They have a diverse menu, with all the Italian classics man. The fettuccine with clam sauce could go up against any east coast place, and 5 out of 5 times would come out on top.

Don't get me started on the Canolli, or Cheesecake!🥰 🤣🥰

All in all, I'd say look no further! Fill your belly, and your kids as well! You've found the best kept secret of...

The first visit I ordered eggplant parm and all i got was mushy eggplant! No pasta and or salad with it. they were so busy and I do believe my eggplant had been sitting for a while. This was around after the first few days after their grad opening so I thought thi gs happen and I knew they had awesome food in their other restaurants, so no big deal. I called today and ordered Ziti and meatballs with marinara ♥ it comes with bread and salad. Everythingbwas perfect! I also ordered a canoli omg it was the best canoli I've ever had! Just perfect! I've lived in Westchester NY and have had canolis from some of the best Italian restaurants in the city but I can say this was the best I've ever...
