    Our Experience was exceptional. We always enjoy going out to eat, especially at Italian by Night. Our server Emma was absolutely fantastic. She was very observant and so were the other staff. Ensuring we had everything we wanted and our drinks did not go empty. The food was perfect an excellent evening for my Wife's 6th 29th birthday.

    We were a party of four, one couple was from Nova Scotia. Our meals were delicious and nicely presented. My husband ordered the ravioli special . He said it was delicious but the serving was on the small side . Our server was very pleasant and helpful. Ambiance was very nice and nicely decorated with the Christmas wreaths. We will definitely be back.

    I gave my granddaughter and her mom a gift of a meal at Italian by night while they stayed in uptown Saint John . This is my go to place to eat whenever I’m in Saint John . This was their first trip there . They both loved it ! This restaurant spoils you for any other fine dinning . I have yet to find anything in NB that can even compare to this place .

    Once again, Angie delighted with her friendliness and great service - she made us laugh on more than one occasion. Dinner this time around wasn't the best. The two orders of the Osso Bucco were both overcooked and rather tasteless, much the opposite than when I had it about 3 weeks ago. The risotto balls were also tasteless. Charlie and I shared the Tiramisu for dessert and it was out of this world amazing! The wine was delicious and we all enjoyed our evening - there was a lovely vibe and one thing I must note - thank you to Dorothy who saved the day - the before dinner tums were much appreciated! Thank you all!

    An amazing evening ~ an exceptional dining experience ! This wasn’t my first time @ IBN but it was for my 3 girlfriends with me and they were NOT disappointed. The food was sublime, the atmosphere was full of cheer and our server, Angie, was top 10, bar none ! She offered up great service and tons of fun ~ bravo to her. Thank you, once again, for a lovely evening out while in your fair city ~ we will all be back and we hope it will be soon. 💕
