Topolino's

Right in the thick of the Fitzroy Street action. Topolino's is that rare breed—a 50-year-old family-run powerhouse still packing tables on a random Tuesday. St Kilda’s late-night crowd knows the drill: head straight for the cozy awning when midnight cravings hit. The vibe? Pure retro charm. Think photo-lined walls, warm lighting, and a bustling, old-school trattoria energy. Expect massive portions of unapologetic comfort food. The pizza dough hits that perfect soft-yet-crisp sweet spot—piled high with generous toppings—while the pastas arrive rich, hearty, and impeccably al dente. Pro tip: the Fettuccini Deliziosa lives up to its name, and the gluten-free garlic bread is a total triumph for coeliacs. Add in live music, killer midweek half-price pizza deals, and Aussie-style hot chips dusted in next-level chicken salt. Fast, warm service. Authentic la dolce vita.
