If you are looking for authentic

If you are looking for authentic Italian pasta, this is the spot. Our server Michael was very attentive. He even decanted our Massi Valpolicel. We had a scallop and a shrimp dish. Both were plentiful with seafood and the pasta was delicious. We would have...loved to try the desserts but could not do them justice. We will be back. Thank You for enhancing our first dinner out in Yellow phase! We will be back!More

Molto Delicioso!

What a wonderful evening out! My sister and I stayed in Saint John an extra day so she could enjoy her first meal at Italian by Night. Our dinner was absolutely delicious and the presentation of every dish was impressive. We feasted on the chef’s...imaginative (and scrumptious) version of caprese salad, followed by a perfectly prepared steak served with a green pepper sauce. Our desserts - a wedge of flourless chocolate torte with raspberry coulis and a trio of house made sorbets - were just what we needed to finish off what was truly a culinary adventure. A huge thank you to Daniel, our server. He was so helpful, friendly and professional. I can’t remember the last time I had such good service in a restaurant. Italian by Night has everything you hope for when you decide to eat out and make an evening of it - excellent food, terrific service and a cozy ambiance.More

Nice restaurant, good service.

Nice restaurant, good service. The waitress was very efficient, funny, and knew her stuff. Also, when she learned it was our anniversary, she brought us a glass of champagne. Nice touch! Food was good, with large plates. Reasonably priced.

Two more great dinners

I've had a couple of dinners at IbN over the last few weeks, both very enjoyable: house-made linguine and meatballs, and a caesar salad with steak. Both were great, and the wine pairings were excellent. The also know how to serve Sambuca con la mosca...to end the night. Looking forward tot he next time!More

Our first visit, but not our last.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a meal at Italian by Night. The service, atmosphere and most of all, the food, were top-notch. The food smelled and tasted incredible. Our amazing waitress even gave each of us a complimentary glass of bubbly to celebrate our...anniversary. The current seating layout, which I believe was 70% of normal, was ideal. You were far enough away from neighbouring tables, so as not to overhear their conversation, but still felt in a comfortable environment.More

Always Excellent, this time was no different.

We were two couples who dined together frequently, pre-Covid. We were a little apprehensive about going to eat in a restaurant, however, we needn't have been. Every precaution was taken and we felt safe with the atmosphere and service, and the food, as always, didn't...disappoint. We highly recommend Italian by Night.More

First time and a new favourite

My husband and I visited Saint John for our anniversary and decided to try Italian by Night. After 1 dinner, it’s now become a new favourite for us! The menu was expansive and had so many great options - all truly authentically Italian. Our server,...Danielle, was phenomenal; she was incredibly attentive and it truly felt like she cared about us having the best experience. We can’t wait to go back!More

Delightful evening

This was our first night out with friends since the reopening of dining rooms with the current phase of the pandemic. What an excellent choice! Between the four of us, we ordered nine menu items including two appetizers, four main dishes, and three desserts. They...were all delectable! One of the owners, Elizabeth, chatted with us, sharing the history of the restaurant. She was very gracious and appreciative of our patronage. Our server, Liane, was first class. She was very knowledgable and answered all our menu questions with patience. Service was attentive but not intrusive. We appreciated the atmosphere that was classy and with music in the background but not too loud; it was easy to carry on a conversation. This restaurant has definitely been added to our list of favourites!More

Answer

On a busy night the restaurant can be very lively. Our music is not loud. We have won "MOST ROMANTIC " on Open Table three years in a row. I hope this helps.
