Panini Opa has quietly slipped into North Market Bridge Park in Dublin this week, bringing its popular Greek-Italian paninis and Mediterranean plates from its Sawmill Road outpost straight into the market's busy food hall. The compact stall trims the full restaurant menu down to shareable starters, paninis and a handful of higher-end burgers. It is the brand's second location and the latest vendor to join North Market Bridge Park.
As reported by Columbus Business First, Panini Opa is now serving customers at North Market Bridge Park in the space that previously housed Saddleberk. North Market lists Panini Opa among its Bridge Park merchants and notes that the stall offers a condensed version of the restaurant's full menu. Local roundups from outlets such as Dining & Cooking have also flagged the opening this month.
What to expect from the menu
Panini Opa's market lineup sticks with the hits: signature paninis and a spread of Mediterranean shareables like spanakopita, tzatziki and calamari, plus specialty sandwiches and burgers. The restaurant's own site highlights items ranging from ahi tuna and crispy chicken paninis to lobster and shrimp paninis, along with salads and soups, all built around fresh ingredients and fast counter service. The slimmed-down setup is designed to deliver familiar flavors in a quicker, market-friendly format.
Roots and local growth
Panini Opa traces its roots to owner Orian Trifoni, who opened Greek Corner in 2004 and launched Panini Opa in 2011. The Bridge Park stall will be run day to day by Daniel Trifoni and Klestor Qose, Columbus Underground reported. Local coverage has also followed the brand's steady growth, noting plans for an additional Bexley location as Panini Opa builds beyond its original site.
How to order
Shoppers at Bridge Park can order Panini Opa through North Market's online pickup system or directly from the vendor's ordering page. North Market's order portal lists participating merchants for pickup at the Bridge Park location, and the eatery also maintains an online ordering presence via its Toast ordering page for takeout.
For Panini Opa regulars, the Bridge Park stall serves as a faster, more streamlined way to get favorite dishes. For everyone else wandering the market, it is one more dependable lunch and dinner option inside North Market Bridge Park's busy food hall.
