Bar Romantica x 10 William Street

Overview

Late-night Lygon Street venue Bar Romantica is a go-to for pasta any night of the week, but you'll want to make sure you stop by on Sunday, March 31 when it hosts one of Sydney's best restaurants for a one-off dinner.

The recently revamped eatery will join forces with Sydney's 10 William Street for a special four-course Italian feast. In the kitchen, Bar Romantica's chef Joseph Farrell will be joined by 10 William Streets' group chef Enrico Tomelleri and newly appointed head chef Trisha Greentree (ex-Brae). While the trio's menu has been kept under wraps, diners can expect fresh local produce and plenty of pasta as the two restaurants combine signature dishes. We hope 10 Williams's warm pretzel with whipped bottarga makes the cut.

The Paddington restaurant's part-owner Giovanni Paradiso will also head down south and take charge of the wine list, while Romantica Studios' resident DJ Chico G keeps the tunes going all night long.

The eats will cost you $70 per person, and drinks will be extra. Cheaper than a trip to Sydney, in any case. It's a ticketed event, so be sure to book ahead — the two-hour sittings range from 6–9pm, and many are already booked out. For those that want to kick on post-meal, the bar will be open until midnight.
