Viva Maria

Good evening, well, as you know. The first time we did this, we ran out of food and a lot of people didn't get to eat, which was very terrible for us. So this time, Dominic made lots and lots and lots and lots of extra food. So we actually are gonna have some trays of Lasagna left. If anyone's interested in a 1/ or whole tray just message us! We're down to the last hour. Okay thank you!

Good afternoon, just a quick reminder that Dominic is cooking his homemade lasagna ( I promise he's making lots!😁) tonight at our lady of Lourdes church at 300
East Highland Ave. in Ada. It's 6:00-8:00 and is open to the public! Lasagna, Salad, bread, cookie (sorry, no cannolis yet🫤)and lemonade. $15 for adults, 13 and up. And then children are a lesser price the younger they get. Hope to see you, and thank you!

Hello, everyone. Well, I know I made this exciting announcement the last time about us being able to cater etc, but apparently that's not exactly correct. So for us to cater, we need to be able to make the food at the location the event is being held at, so I apologize if I misled anyone. I was also under the wrong impression, so we will only be able to cater if you are having your event in a place that had cooking facilities.
But that brings me to some good news!! Father Schmit has asked us to host another meal on Friday, October 2nd, at Our Lady of Lourdes church in Ada, 300 E. Highland Ave. Dom is making lasagna this time and I apologize to everyone who didn't get to eat last time we ran out of food. I promise you that we're making enough food this time. 😁Menu is: lasagna, salad, breadsticks cookie and lemonade. We will have two lines, one eat-in snd a seperate pick-up line. We're excited, we hope to see you, and thank you for all of your patience with us. We're still looking for a suitable food trailer. So thank you for hanging in there with us, and we'll still take your prayers and thank you. We hope to see you friday!

Good morning, Thank you everyone! We want to thank Our Lady of Lourdes and Fr. Schmit for allowing us to cook for his community dinner. I think it went very well. It was so amazing to see all of you. 🥰🥰🥰Thank you for all of your support. Father was very happy about the turnout, so I think he might ask us to cook for him again, so we'll try to keep you informed😊

Good morning, just a reminder that Our Lady of Lourdes is holding a community dinner and Dominic from Viva Maria is the chosen cook. Event is 6-8 and there is eat-in or take-out.

Hello, everyone. It's me, we have some exciting news!! If you've been craving Viva Maria, you are able to get it this Friday, August 21st, from 6:00 to 8:00 at Our Lady of Lourdes parish at 300 east Highland Avenue. It is open to the public and we'll be serving baked ziti, spaghetti, meatballs, salad bread, iced tea or lemonade and a dessert all for $15. Children's prices are less and you may see those below. To clarify, this is a church event and Viva is catering😊 We're planning on doing this every month at our Lady of Lourdes and
possibly adding Kenton's Immaculate Conception as well. We also are publicly letting you know that we are also doing catering. Just call the Viva number at 567-940-8482. And we'll be happy to cater for pickup or delivery. We are not able to offer services in which we serve the food at your location but we are working o n that as well. We're also currently in the process of hopefully working on getting a food truck, but we don 't have a timeline on that yet. So we miss everyone. We'll be so happy to see you all. I hope you can come this Friday. I know it's the fair and football and lots of stuff, but hopefully you can cut out a little niche of time. The food will be in chaffers, so it will be fast and you won't have to wait for either eat-in or take out!! Okay, so we hope to see you and I would say, don't forget the canoli, but they 're not quite available yet......😒
As soon as I have the dates for the next four months of dinners, I'll let you know right away. In the meantime, we hope to see you soon! Hopefully this friday😊 2- under FREE 3-5 $5.00 6-12 $8.00 13-UP $15.00 😍😘

Well, they say third times the charm! I gave u my moms number and not Viva🙄 Proof that my mind has truly left me. Anyway, the correct number is 567 940 8482.

Sorry it's me again, twice in one day! who knew! but I did want to say that our phone number 567-940-4948 (VIVA) is not up and running yet but should be soon and also I did want to mention our employees❤ they know how much we miss them cuz we talk to them randomly but I just wanted everyone to know what great great employees we had and how hard it was, not only for us but for all of them as well. They're amazing!💜

Hello everyone! don't faint I know you haven't heard from me in a long time😐 I've been waiting so that I have something exciting to tell you but we're still not there yet. They did tell us that the cause of the fire was electrical and that it started probably in the wall up on the right side of the building as you're looking at Viva from the street. We miss all of you and we're hoping to get something together soon we're working on it as hard as we can. We did have insurance but not enough really to rebuild from scratch. Hopefully we can find something that was a restaurant that we can redo or possibly a food truck, we're working on it.
I want to thank all of you for all of your support! it's been nice running into you sometimes here and there and we really do miss all of you. There are a couple Bad actors on social media that people have told me about but they're just ignorant.
I really really want to say happy graduation to all of our ONU students we have really missed getting to see you this last semester of school and I hope that you'll come back and visit us and hopefully we'll have a place that you can come and say hi and we wish you all the best and thank you for all of the years of patronage!!! We're thinking that we'll possibly try to get sauce and cannolis going on a daily basis and also catering and then eventually we can work into like individual orders and things but we'll keep you updated as to exactly when we're totally up and running. We'd also like to thank all of you for all of your tips@ We've checked almost all of them oit and we appreciate you really trying to help us out. Feel free to let us know if you have anything else! The phone number will be the same so make sure you hang on to that and hopefully we'll have something soon. It's been the most frustrating, disheartening and heartrendering thing that we we've experienced, and we've experienced a lot of weird stuff in our life but this one was definitely the ringer. As soon as I have any more info you will all be the first to know!
Happy Graduation to all graduates! We hope for you the very best!! 🥰 Oh and stay tuned!

Hello everyone well this is normally the time I would post and I wish I was posting our special today but unfortunately that's not happening yet. We're still in a holding pattern and I just was thinking of things I forgot to say like thanks to the lady for Lending me your gloves and I have them to return to you when I see you and to the first lady who reported the fire thank you so much and you gave me a beautiful blanket too, to our wonderful employees who immediately came to the scene or called, and Layla who ran through the snow in her great big coat and her brothers rubber boots🙂 and we appreciate everything everybody did.
We still don't know much, the investigation is still happening. I did want to say though that it's kind of a special day for Dom. It's his 53 year anniversary of being in this country. He came over when he was 15 with his parents and they waited 10 years to come into the country and it was a very thrilling day for all of them and so that's always a nice thing to remember on this day. He started working
in his brother in laws pizzeria in NJ when he got here and found his niche.
We're not sure if the building will be rebuilt or what's going to happen, the landlord is also in a holding pattern. Eventually we'll have to find jobs but you know we're going to keep looking for some place. We really don't know.
We are sincerely grateful to all of you for all of your amazing well wishes, such beautiful people and thanks to all of you for your years of patronage and we always looked forward to seeing every one of you who ever came in the door. Your posts are so touching, I become a blubbering idiot. Who knows, maybe we can just find a place to sell sauce and cannolis if nothing else! I'll just let you know anything when we know and just wanted to say thanks and we appreciate all of your beautiful well wishes and gifts and wishes and love and prayers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!!❤
