Our Story
Chef Michael Dolente started selling house made sauces at local farmers markets with a bigger vision in mind. In 2020 that vision came to fruition when Maria’s Pantry & Pasta Bar opened in downtown Dartmouth.
Inspired by his Nonna Maria, Chef Dolente grew up learning to cook and make pasta alongside her starting at a young age. Chef Dolente’s family moved to Canada from Italy in 1960 and growing up eating Maria’s food and learning to cook it himself, it was something he always dreamed of sharing with others.
Yes, we offer catering!
Maria’s Pantry offers a curated experience that will impress your guests on any occasion. From an intimate seated dinner or outdoor barbeque, to passed canapes or even a dessert tower, we have you covered!
