Such a cute spot - So glad I finally got to drop in. I tried the fresh Foccacia (omg) and purchased some Orange dressing for my lunch salad (also omg) and will be indulging in their pasta for dinner. My friends also got foccacia and other pantry staples and loved everything.

First visit had the focaccia bread , lemon ricotta cake. Well let me tell you , I have no words other than to say it was the best I had amazing .

Had family send us a couple XL dishes as a care package a couple weeks ago which were absolutely amazing. Each would easily feed 6 adults. We loved everything so much we stopped in today to pick up a few dishes for friends who recently had a baby.

Would absolutely recommend - fantastic dinner, great gift for a hungry college student, new parents, or if you just want delicious food and don’t want to cook! Plus everyone in there is lovely! Only flag is that if you want an XL size (which I would definitely get next time around!), you need to pre-order. That said, I’m pretty sure you can do it only for pickup the next day, so hardly a wait (and I think worth it!)

A big bag of take out for a first visit. Grabbed both lunch specials of the day, ravioli and a panini sandwich. Both were excellent! Tried their cookies and donut, the star was the donut for us. Better than any I ever had. A pistachio cream filling in a sugared yeast donut. Our favorite cookie was lemon ricotta. Tonight we try some pasta, rose sauce and meatballs... I can imagine it being less than perfect. Can't hardly wait to order again. Will order in advance canolli or anything you want specifically as it all goes fast :) Always a changing menu.

what a fantastic spot to grab some traditional Italian food, handmade pasta everything is all homemade from their pasta sauce, hot sauce, and they’re incredible sweets pantry open Monday to Fridays. They have lunch specials every Friday. You can order for pick up or grab one of their pre-made frozen meals I had their classic carbonara with cured Pork it was amazing! The pasta was cooked perfectly the way it should be
with a little bit of firmness and the carbonara was thick and rich, and every one of the sweets, especially the donuts I had were a must try!

Vegetarian options: we tried the roasted mushroom and asiago lasagna top notch

Went for lunch (only on Friday & Saturday) and the options were carbonara and aglio e olio as well as a cheesy focaccia. My companion loved the carbonara. I am vegetarian so the aglio e olio was my only choice, and while it’s not usually my favourite I found it very enjoyable here. A few outdoor tables but space is limited.

Delicious Italian food! There is something to be said about homemade pasta with fresh ingredients. Worth the ferry ride across the harbor!

The BEST focaccia I've had in the city. And their bombolones are great. And the cookies. And the pasta. And the people. And the prices are very reasonable, one of the few places these days that are. Love popping in here!

Love Maria’s. There is no other business like this in Halifax (maybe in NS?). I’ve never had the takeout but the pasta, sauces, and other pantry ingredients are amazing.
