    Enjoyed the meal, happy to hear they were only expecting a crowd of 160 compared to as the week progresses 200. I found the noise level excessive. The big open room does not help with the noise level. The food was hot, and stayed hot throughout my meal. which I enjoyed. Overall I would come again, I would tend to book earlier in the week when the crowds were lower.

    Upon arrival received a friendly greeting with a welcoming smile from host staff and table was ready for our group. We received a warm friendly joyful welcome from our server Angie! She was very detailed and funny. Angie made our experience very memorable with laughter and joking around with us. We all had amazing appetizers Scampi, Polpetii and Calamari. Our table loved our meals! Tenderloin special, Pasta Carbonara and the amazing Scoglio!

    You can tell this is a very well run, clean, professionally run business the moment you enter the restaurant, from the hostess that confirmed our reservation and escorted us to our table and introduced us to our server Michael. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative on the various wines to the choices on the menu. We started with the calamari and it was delicious, cooked and prepared perfectly, the main Sue had the Linguine con Pollo e tartufo, and myself the lasagna alla bolognese, both meals were perfect, Michael checked in on us from time to time but never overly, at the end of the meal Micheal introduced us to the owner who came over to see how we were enjoying our visited , after a brief interesting conversation about the history of the restaurant she left, I found her very informative about the history of the restaurant , she was very sociable and I enjoyed this interaction . After our dessert we left and headed back to Fredericton 100km away, figuring out when we were going to return and enjoy another fantastic evening out at Italian by Night. Sue and I were very impressed

    I really want to be able to love the pizza, but they smother it with so much cheese that it ruins the pizza. Next time I will order a pizza with no cheese. But if you like pizza smother with cheese than this is the place for you.
