    Really great food. Really good service. Disappointed that our waiter told us that there were people waiting for our table. Killed the evening.

    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.
