128 Darlinghurst Rd10 William Street's somewhat incognito shopfront says a lot about its attitude; laid-back and sans the haughty attitude that is part and parcel of other Paddington establishments. The focus here is on fast, tasty Italian food that compliments a niche wine list. Most of the labels are Italian, but there's the odd special bottle from small producers around the world. The restaurant doesn't take reservations. Our favourite restaurant in Paddington.
