Reviews & Notes	"Provini is part of a mini-groundswell of good, authentic Italian, at a range of prices, that is a godsend for Canberra. But it is also something more. It is part of a democratisation of Canberra eating, where good food and service is available at all hours to pretty much everyone. Long may it thrive."

Reviews & Notes	"There are 14 different types of fried chicken ($18) on offer here, garnished with a variety of Korean-style toppings from ‘‘snow cheese’’ to spring onions and hot sauce. ... What to say about this fried chicken? Only that it’s incredibly good – beautifully crisp and clean on the outside, without a hint of oiliness and plenty of battered crunch. Inside it’s steaming hot but the meat is juicy and tender. This is golden perfection from the first bite."

Bistro Nguyen's

Civic ACT 2601 Vietnamese - Says the Canberra Times - "The decent sized space has tables outside and a slightly funky look with coloured chairs and black and white cartoony walls. On a mid week night they are doing a good takeaway as well as sit down trade, and we are right to have booked. A lengthy menu, with considerable variety greets us."

Reviews & Notes	"Despite some inconsistency there were high points here: staff were friendly, if a little overwhelmed, some of the food was terrific, some just okay. If they can iron out these issued Bistro Nguyen's could well become a reliable lunchtime haunt and a decent spot for a quick dinner."
