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.

We purchased a mushroom lasagna and a pulled pork mac and cheese - frozen. They were delicious and I will be back. Purchase doughnuts also. Well worth getting fat for!!I will be trying more dishes for sure.

Incredible pasta! Beautifully cooked with super tastey classic Italian sauces (bolo and cacio e pepe)! Bombolone was phenomenal too, will be back :)

Molto Bene! I had the focaccia pizza for lunch on Saturday. So amazing. I only wish this was the standard for pizza in Nova Scotia, sadly it's not. I always enjoy the weekend lunch specials at this place. Their fresh made pastas are way better than grocery store brands and their pizza sauce is the bomb. If I lived closer to this place I'd be much heavier :)

Happened upon this Italian pasta market just off Portland Street in Dartmouth. I picked up a box of fresh pasta, the meatballs in sauce, bolognese sauce and a package of mushroom and Asiago lasagna. WOW those meatballs were some of the best I’ve ever had and the fresh pasta was amazing. What a great little shop. Do yourself a favour and get down there and grab a lovely little supper for you and a deserving other!

Best pasta selection in the neighborhood, service with a smile, and if you're lucky enough they'll have irresistible fresh focaccia or cookies.

I just had my first BBQ kit from Maria's. Wow. It was amazing. I know it must be so much work, but it created a great evening for us with our good friends. Typically the host or hostess who is cooking is fatigued by the meal. I was able to enjoy my guests and chat through the minimal prep, Very flavourful. Nothing was held back in creating this meal. Terrific quality. Thank you.

We also picked up some pasta for tonights dinnerOutside seating was lovely and a peaceful spot to enjoy our lunch. Folks, this sandwich bread is the most delicious bread I've ever eaten. IncredibleGreat staff and cute shop of treasures to take home. Would recommend popping in and checking them out

This is a favourite spot to hit at lunch. Check their social media feeds for the menu of the week. Beyond lunch we have ordered their Christmas kits and frequently pick up one of their dinner kits. Everything is always top notch.

The staff a very polite and friendly. The food was simply delicious. I will definitely return to this restaurantWheelchair accessibility: There is a large concrete ramp/walk way right to the door of the shop. Once in the restaurant there is a small area big enough for a large power chair. The counters are not a wheelchair hight but staff is accommodating and helpful. There is a outdoor sitting area that you can pull a wheelchair upto in nice weather. I didn't notice if there is a automatic door someone opened the door for me.

Hey It's Nys

Such a great experience here. The food was great, the staff were friendly and helpful. I’ve been twice to buy their freshly prepped pasta, sauce and Parmesan cheese. I’ve tried their frozen Mac and cheese and it was scrumptious! It’s so so good here.
