This place has a brilliant ambiance and the wine selection is top notch. The food is good. However, Italian food to me is hearty. The dishes felt small to me, especially as we were sharing. You would never leave hungry from a kitchen in Italia, and we left hungry. Hearty food would top this place off.

Had not been in Paddington for a while so a mate picked this place - it looks more like a shop than a bar/resto. Very nice set up, good service with the pre-requisite Italian attitude. Ordered a Negroni which was executed well. Small plate tapas are excellent esp the Bottega fish paste dip and bagel - awesome. Good spot -... More

I dined here last week with a friend and both of us are fans of Fratelli Paradiso, another restaurant in this group. We were seated upstairs in cramped, dark ( to the point that we couldnt read the menu without the aid of a torch) conditions. The Sparkling wine was flat but wasnt replaced after mentioning to waitress, who simply... More

A very well respected chef friend advised me to eat at 10 William Street , or he would cease to be my friend.......challenge accepted. After walking all around Sydney we ended up at said restaurant at 2pm, my wife, let's call her Katie, looked inside and said no, "tables are too small and too close together".

This is a snug wine bar with a very small but superb menu, great wine selection and attentive service. We needed help interpreting the menu which was cheerfully given. We started with the peach and mortadella which was a perfect complement of flavors. We followed up with seafood pasta and meat pasta dishes which were simply perfect and in sensible... More

The other night I went to 10 William Street with some friends. A very polite waiter gives as a table at the first floor. The food was amazing, very delicious with lumaconi pasta with squid.

We had a lovely dinner at 10 William Street last night. Food was great with some really interesting dishes. Good wine list with lots of choices by the glass. My only complaint was the tables are fairly packed in so you get a lot other tables' conversations!

I first came to this little bar just off Oxford st in 2014 and loved it - food and wine were great. Not so good this time. The food was unimaginative and bland. Wine selection is good but the place is let down by the unfriendly cold attitude of the staff - they need to learn how to smile and... More
