We strive to bring you quality food that is hearty and uncomplicated. At Maria’s everything we make is hand made in house with high quality ingredients. From our fresh mozza and burrata to our lasagna and fresh pasta, you get to experience the best of Italian cooking right in your own neighborhood.
Trust us, once you’ve tried fresh pasta, there really isn’t anything like it!
Chef Michael Dolente started selling his 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 making pasta alongside her. 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.
