    Restaurant has a great combination of modern design with a rustic touch of exposed wood beams and brick walls. Our meals were very good and our waiter Marcus provided a friendly air to the meal by not just serving our meal but sharing in our conversations as well. We went there to celebrate a birthday and were treated to a very enjoyable evening.

    We arrived on time for a reservation and seated promptly. When I sat down on the chair it was a little far from the table, so I grabbed the chair on each side and scooted forward. The chair pad was loose and jammed my finger between the chairpad and the chair frame. It was quite sore. The waiter and the manager were very attentive. They even took items off our bill. They didn't have to. It wasn't expected. It was just an accident. It looks like I'm losing the fingernail on one of my fingers. 2 days later and my fingers are still sore. I think the restaurant went above and beyond for this issue. We will be back.

    Our first time dining with you and we will be back. We felt the service was rushed, but other than this one minor detail, we enjoyed the delicious food, the great energy of the restaurant, and all the patrons having a great time. Thank you for acknowledging my husband's birthday.

    Italian by night continues to be a #1 restaurant in uptown Saint John. Would like to see a change to the menu seems to have been the same for so long. We ordered a margheritta pizza for our appetizer must say one on the best thin crust pizzas I’ve had.

    Our second time visiting the restaurant, and so far it's all been amazing. I had the beef special (not in the menu), it was beef tenderloin and seasonal veggies- squash, brussel sprouts and bacon mashed potato. Everything was delicious, and our server was friendly and attentive. Can't wait for the next time!

    It’s my favourite restaurant in Saint John. Most of the time, I go for the Italian menu but they have something for everyone. You don’t have to worry about the freshness of the fish…. You will always get the best seafood. Every morsel of food melts in your mouth. Nothing fishy in this establishment… Every time I introduce Italian By Night to family or to friends, it becomes their favourite. I recently went to Italian By Night for a birthday celebration. What a wonderful treat to have this restaurant available to celebrate a special occasion. It’s my go to place when I have guests visiting and I want to treat them to an experience that they will want to share with other people who will, no doubt, want to experience it themselves after they hear how special the food, atmosphere and let’s not forget to talk about the special attention given to each individual who chooses to come in for a meal. Your waiters or waitresses are knowledgeable and have personality that will tickle your ears. So the food tickles your palate and the waiters tickle your ears with their stories and personality. Where have you ever eaten where you can say that you lived an experience like that! This restaurant never fails to impress me, my family and my friends. Love this place and dare anyone to try it just once…. Bet you can’t resist going over and over again. I know I can’t. It’s a BIG CITY atmosphere in what I call the FRIENDLIEST city in the East.
