About Quincaillerie Dante

Quincaillerie Dante is a family store in Little Italy, founded in 1956. It mixes Italian cookware and espresso makers with a hunting and fishing corner, a combination that gives it a character all its own.

It suits home cooks looking for a moka pot, pasta tools or a sturdy pan, as well as anglers stocking up before the season. An espresso maker from Dante makes a classic gift for a new apartment. Pair your visit with a stroll through nearby Jean-Talon Market for a full Little Italy afternoon.
