A Foreign Affair Italian Grill Has CLOSED For Business
Mietta's Review
Professionally run restaurant catering for a business crowd. The menu is Italian inspired and the space is discreet, perfect for political lobbying. The wine list is reasonable and the food is very good value for the quality. Foreign Affair enjoys many, many regulars.
This is all about to change the new owner intends to revamp the business with a new kitchen team and adding a cocktail lounge and bar to the restaurant. These changes should occur in April 05.
Other published opinions
Sydney Cheap Eats 2005 "It's easy to have a love affair with this place and its food."
SMH GFG 2004,Score 11/20,'The broad menu offers around 25-odd dishes,from anitpasto to hand-made pastas and more complex but familar fare.Such hard work deserves better than perfunctory service,but if you can ingnore it (as they ignore you),you'll find simple pleasure in nibbles to share'

A corner position in Manuka with big fold-back windows give this two-level Italian restaurant a light airy feeling.

Caffe Della Piazza Australian_Capital_Territory
Canberra's best wine bar disguised as an excellent cafe. The terrific, award winning wine list is certainly the main attraction
Caffe Lella Australian_Capital_Territory
There are a few seats inside squeezed around the kitchen and bar but mostly it out in the little square that is the centre of Kingston.
