10 William St

10 William St sits on William Street in Paddington, one of Sydney's most elegant and characterful eastern-suburbs neighbourhoods. A beloved, much-celebrated Italian wine bar and restaurant, it's a genuine Sydney institution — renowned for its accomplished Italian cooking and a brilliant, characterful wine list in a tiny, buzzing, convivial setting, the kind of in-the-know spot that food-and-wine lovers adore.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Italian food, a fantastic and adventurous wine list and an intimate, lively atmosphere in a great Paddington location, ideal for a special meal, drinks and a feed or a memorable night out. Its reputation for genuinely good Italian and wine in a characterful little space makes it a real destination, and it's clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.5 rating from nearly 700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, the wine list, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a small, sought-after spot fills up fast, so it's worth checking current details and planning around its intimate size before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a busy evening in Paddington.
