    This was the most recent of many trips from Fredericton to Saint John specifically to go to Italian by Night. We love going there and the trip is worth it. From the time we walk in until we leave, the ambience is so nice. It's a happy place. The staff is so well trained, cheerful and friendly, and see to your every need. The food never disappoints. With so many wonderful choices on the menu, it is difficult to make a choice. If you are looking for an excellent dining experience, we would highly recommend Italian by Night.

    We’ve been many times, the food is always good and service too. The biggest problem for me was that the chair I was seated in is old with no padding and poorly back supported. I was very sore after my meal which is crazy for an upscale restaurant. Another man who sat at the table next to us commented that his seat was hard-same kind of chair. It seems trivial but this needs to be fixed-if I went back and they tried to seat me there, I would insist on another chair or to be moved to another table with the better chairs. If that didn’t work, we’d have to leave without eating.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Saint John! The food, service, and ambiance are amazing. We've loved everything we've tried on the menu to date. Normally, we do not opt for dessert, but at this restaurant you want to be sure to save room. You will certainly be thrilled that you did!

    The spaghetti and meatballs were great. The desserts were great. Not super impressed with the other dishes. But, it's a great date night spot with good service.

    Our experience at Italian by Night was amazing!! We had to wait a bit to be served, but it was worth it. We ordered sword fish and it was very delicious. The deserts are from different world. The teramisu and pavlovs were to die for. Mike did an amazing job serving all this delicious food. 200% advising this place to everybody!!

    IBN never disappoints. The service, food, and ambience are outstanding. The new summer menu might be their best yet.
