Starting out as a delicatessen, Paddington Alimentari quickly grew into a busy Italian cafe for locals and lucky out-of-towners to visit. With its dark grey shop front, you might not notice this popular spot on William Street, but it's definitely worth sniffing out.

The glass counter is filled with freshly baked fare — from fluffy quiches to croissants and stuffed baguettes. If you have time to sit down, order a bowl of pasta or a fresh salad and dine outside.

And just like any good Italian delicatessen, it also has display case filled to the brim with cheese, ham and a range of olives — so you can make your very own charcuterie board at home.
