Cafe Topolis in Dublin

06/01/2026: Fantastic food, service, and quality. Highly recommended.

03/01/2026: So. After a day carrying bags for an (almost!) 17 year old, I had the good fortune to find myself staring at the menu outside Pacino’s door. Saying that I was hungry was an understatement. The bags I was laden with were beginning to look edible. Dublin on a Saturday, at 5 pm, I tried more out of hope than anything by asking the nice girl inside the door was there any chance of a table?!?!… and I truly don’t know what class of an angel was looking down at that moment (…possibly the one that looks after lost causes???) but she said YES!!! The place looked stunning, all still decked out in twinkly Christmas lights, and the menus are delightful, with something for everyone. We had a mix of starters, mains and pizzas, and one common theme throughout them all- they were all as equally exceptional as each other. The “Arancini Al Funghi” is to die for… delectably delightful balls of mushroom risotto, with a crispy coating and an arrabiata sauce- it s perfection. The pizzas are just how Nonna likes them… light and airy with just the right amount of topping, and the flavours from those toppings jump out. I had the Salami & Gorgonzola with oodles of smooth blue loveliness all over it. Pacino’s is definitely my new favourite Dublin eatery, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it just feels “right” if you know what I mean? The only downside is that I need to find an excuse to get back over again soon!!! Treat yourself, I know if Al is ever in town, he’ll stop by… 😉 17/10 for pizzaness… 😇
