10 william street

we went here on a rainy friday night and decided to go early as we know it gets busy. we were there around 5:30 and were lucky enough to get one of the last tables. sitting on a comfy bench against the wall at a small table, were were pretty squished. the restaurant is extremely small, waiters have to push past each other and likewise you will need to if you go up stairs to the bathroom. it has a huge wine menu and wines by the glass. i got a wine and an aperol spritz which were both good. hubby got a two wines, the second was a bit off, but they said it was funny due to it being organic and fermenting in the bottle. in any case, we sent it back as we felt there was something wrong with it. we still got charged.
food was all excellent and came out very promptly, food service and delivery was excellent in that regards. we had the whipped bottarga dip andpretzelwhich was extremely fluffy and light. we also tried the mozzarella and cabbage and the ragu pasta. food was all outstanding.
staff were not overly friendly but efficient at their job.

my favourite restaurant in sydney. i’ll be heading over in august this year and i can’t wait to visit again. i’ve been dreaming about thepretzeldish with the whipped bottarga. absolutely divine

off the main road is this cosy, contemporary wine bar offering glorious food to share & a huge wine list both by the glass or bottle. if you want to try anything new this is great place to experiment & learn. the staff are so helpful and friendly in listening to your likes & making great suggestions. the food is excellent - beautifully presented & delicious. the portions aren't huge and are designed to share which is the perfect way of having a huge variety. the menu changes seasonally. the charred octopus was outstanding including the lightly spiced squid ink sauce.pretzel& roe dip is a must & its easy to see why it is so popular. bonito was cooked perfectly as it can be tough if not cooked well. pastas are all housemade and i loved the texture but the chicken one i had on this occasion was slightly too salty. desserts especially the tiramisu is a must here. a great place for a date, catch up with friends, party or dining alone.

really not sure what the fuss is about this place. pasta was hard and overly salty.pretzelwas just fine. tiramisu was good but obscene at $14 for the size. service was excellent though.

love this place
there are no bookings for this place and during peak times, you do have to wait for a while as it gets packed!
the appetisers are to die for! thepretzelbottarga omg. the farinata. wow.
the pastas are a hit and slight miss. the speghetti chittara was perfect, but in previous menus i found the pastas to be undercooked. depends what’s on the menu during the current season.
i always crave for the appetisers 😭😭😭

always amazing. menu changes occasionally to keep things interesting, but can expect some dishes to remain.pretzelis wonderful - so is the tiramisu, which i find myself randomly thinking about. nice wine selection too. great service always. favourite restaurant in sydney.

the best meal i've had in sydney in ages, take your parents they will love it. i had thepretzelbottega and the pappardelle, both of which were superb.

arrived unannounced with another couple on a friday evening, the place appeared very popular( with some justification ) we were shown to a table upstairs, luckily, as its quite dim in the restaurant, and then given menus from enthusiastic and very helpful wait staff.
the servings are delivered tapas style and not one dish missed the mark! all four diners love their italian and this place delivers!
some standouts included, tagliatelle pork ragu ,gnocchi and apretzel( yespretzel) concoction that i could have eaten all night!.
these were just some of the stars of the night and doesn't down play all the other dishes our table ordered,the drinks menu should cater for most tastes the seating is quite intimate but this doesn't detract from the experience
we will definitely be returning to enjoy more of the food this hidden gem offers

it was with complete shock that we managed to get a seat at 10 william on a cold rainy day, we'd heard the urban legend about the wait to get in to this tiny little spot in paddington.  the tight space can be a little confronting when it is full, but once seated, you can choose from a decent wine list (bottle and by the glass) as well as an array of cocktails (hello negroni). the share-plate menu is curious with only a hint of the expected italian influence but to be honest forget that - it's excellent food (try thepretzeldish, yum).  we had a great time; perhaps it was the euphoria of actually getting a seat or perhaps it was simply nice to be immersed in the unpretentious and genuine ambience.

very enjoyable. tiny little place but it was packed on a monday evening, especially with no bookings. service was attentive and quick. must order the freshly bakedpretzelwith whipped bottarga and the parpardelle ragu.

thepretzelwith whipped bottarga at 10 william st, paddington is a must order but you definitely have to get the tiramisu with ridiculously fluffy layers of coffee soaked lady fingers and creamy mascarpone!

this place has been on my list for a really long time. i went with really high expectations because everyone seems to absolutely love this place. and now we love it too. every dish was either really good, great or excellent. thepretzeland whipped bottarga was unbelievable. and they have fantastic wine too. oh and what everyone says about their tiramisu being the best in sydney is true! so good. we now go on a monthly basis.

went here with a girlfriend and we were advised it'll be a 30-60 minutes wait. but that's okay there's a bar right across the road! when we were called back (took 30 minutes) we were recommended to start with the homemade warmpretzeland hummus. this ain't any normal hummus, it had a smoked salmon taste to it. it was delicious. also had the kingfish, bolognese pappardelle(slightly over salted) and pippies spag. all so good, especially the pippies! we ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it came out on two large tablespoons. we were very confused! i swore i've seen it served in bowls. well it was bloody delicious... we wanted more!!! the waiter then complimented us with the strawberries and cream dessert... which made up for the lack of tiramisu. overall, i'll definitely be coming back. great meal and experience. prob one of my favs now!

we went to 10 william street for a few little nibbles and glass of wines before moving on to a different place for dinner later on. we were greeted by a very friendly staff. the venue was small which gave a nice cosy feeling. we ordered the botega whipped cod roe with germanpretzeland beef tartar. both dishes were very flavoursome and light. we were recommended the 3 pinot wine which also was a great choice.

daniel pepperell’s all-star menu at 10 william st is severely awesome. we’re off to a good start with a whipped bottargapretzelspeckled with grated bottarga. i’m a bit of a purist when it comes to pretzels because i grew up in germany, but even so it’s a delicious thing. it doesn’t really taste like apretzelat all, but instead the spotlight is on the buttload of seeds hugging the crust. plus it looks like a smiley face. how can you hate on that...
