Reviews of Italian by Night (Restaurant)

Greg Hughes

Love the staff. Love the food. Love the presentation

Shaun Guimond

Italian by Night is a great restaurant in the Saint John area. I definitely prefer this to the never ending pubs available. It also helps that the food is very good. I was never disappointed with the quality or taste of the food. I have tried both the Pizza and the Chicken Parmigiana and they were both delicious. I would warn anyone going that it is a tad expensive but nothing out of the ordinary for a quality experience.

James Gunn

SJ is certainly changing for the better! It has been 4 years since I was in the city, and the amount of new restaurants popping up is fantastic. Italian By Night is a great addition to the uptown core. A great setting, fantastic food, and friendly service. It was a great venue for a team outing and the staff at the restaurant fantastically served our table of 12.

Excellent restaurant!

Nice place to eat.

Chris Gallant

The food was alright. The lasagna came out cold in the middle, which I was told "happens sometimes." Carpaccio was great. The wine selection was okay. The atmosphere seemed to be trying to be more upscale than it really is and a little gimmicky (warm cloth at the start of the meal to wipe your hands). Overall, not a very memorable experience... But maybe that's just Italian restaurants in general.

Scott Hayward

Fine dining! Good atmosphere!

Sara Kenney

Big time laid afterwards!

Isabelle Barrette

Good risotto

Michel Thibeault

(Translated) EXCELLENT! The menu is varied and the quality of the produce is wow. The Old Fashioned is really good ... in short THE restaurant that we absolutely must try. (Original) EXCELLENT ! Le menu est variée et la qualité des produits est wow. Les Old fashioned est vraiment bon... bref LE restaurant qu'on doit absolument essayer.

Cody Francis

Amazing! Great atmosphere, better food and A+ service 100% recomend.

David Sullivan

This was the first time I have eaten at Italian by Night. I loved the new location - beautifully renovated old brick building from the 1880s with classy modern woodwork and stainless steal complimenting the brick and massive pine posts and beams. The restaurant was busy so we sat at the bar. I have some experience with Italian food and thought the dishes were excellent and also the service first rate. If I could suggest an edit however it would be something more convenient for the serving staff who have to duck under a half door to get in and out of the bar area.

Nick DeMerchant

Great staff! Great food!! Recipe for success

Ernie Levinski

Beautiful restaurant

J Cline

It was my second time at Italian by Night. Our first experience (and equally as good) was years ago in their old location. The kitchen staff show accute attention to detail in both taste and presentation. Authentic Italiana and Mediterranean influences are on the menu. Artisan cheeses and meats, fresh pasta and sauces, breads and deserts with a great wine pairing available. Chef Hooton et all show their passion for excellent food. Highly recommend.

Kate Burkholder

Always our special place ❤ Our anniversary dinner could not have been better. Our waiter attentive and a beautiful evening.

Viet N Tran

Good services and foods. Ambient is great

john lovely

Very loud. Breadsticks aren't worth the effort.

Fran Menton

I can't get enough of this restaurant. We go to it for every celebration. They make their own bread as well as their sauces and even desserts. I love going after work to sit at the bar and enjoy a glass of Prosecco with an appetizer. Be sure to try their pizza and save room for dessert.

Shannon Guptill

Always amazing knowledgeable service and even better homemade food!!

Amy Winchester

Love this restaurant!

Brian Maude

The food, service and atmosphere are all outstanding. Definitely recommend the torta for dessert!

Darren

(Translated) Super good Italian restaurant where the food remains in the traditional recipes. Good choice of wines, good service and the desserts are delicious. I will go back there. (Original) Super bon resto italien où la nourriture reste dans les recettes traditionnelles. Bon choix de vins, bon service et les desserts sont succulents. Je vais y retourner.

(Translated) Terrible service. We were refused on a Wednesday evening when the restaurant was half empty on the pretext that they were full. The hostesses lacked professionalism, they whispered and did not inform us of the "situation". To avoid. (Original) Service horrible. Nous avons été refusé un mercredi soir alors que le restaurent était à moitié vide sous le prétexte qu'ils étaient complets. Les hôtesses manquaient de professionalisme, elles chuchottaient et ne nous informaient pas de la « situation ». À éviter.

Amazing as always!!

Atlantic Driver

One of the best restaurants in the city. Expect exceptional food and great service.

Christine Thibeault-McDonald

Fantastic service and food in a fabulous setting! It is a must stop of you are traveling in and around Saint John NB! Thank you Abby for the amazing hospitality!

Maxime Lauzier-Tremblay

(Translated) We had booked but she got the wrong time. I told him we would take a cab. After 15 minutes of delay we were waiting for the taxi she called to say that she had given our table. The taxi arrives at the same time. Forced to pay it for nothing and find another place (Original) Nous avions réservé mais elle s'est trompée d'heure. Je lui avais dit qu'on prendrait un taxi. Après 15 minutes de retard on attendait le taxi elle a appelé pour dire qu'elle avait donné notre table. Le taxi arrive en même temps. Obligé de le payer pour rien et trouver un autre endroit

Doug Litwin

Easily the best dining experience I have had in years. The decor was eye popping. An expertly hand carved bar to behold,. The spaciously spaced tables were beautifully appointed from lovely cutlery tucked into perfectly folded nap ware to tasteful linen tablecloths and richly designed stemware and crockery. The chef’s table is work of art, certainly the Piece de resistance of the warm ambiance of the interior. The slightly titillating posters adorning the walls only add to the convivial, friendly atmosphere. And the food! Oh my! Started with deep fried calamari, arrabiata sauce, and basil oil cooked to perfection. Then Hand rolled beef, veal and pork meatballs, marinara, char-grilled focaccia. Still salivating. My main dish was the Chicken parm with pasta, Never had better. There are so many more wonderful looking dishes I will be using all my frequent flyer miles to get to Saint John. I have only positive things to say about the personable professional staff. They all seemed to love working there and it showed in there attentive and genuine caring treatment of each patron. The place was packed, close to 200 patrons yet due to clever use of space the noise level was very tolerable. The prices of both food and wine were very fair, great value for one’s money. I shall certainly be back many times. My congratulation to both the owner, Ms. Rowe and her outstanding staff and associates.

Crystal Moore

My favourite restaurant in Saint John! Note that the bread pudding made we weep. TWICE. Need I say more about the food?!

Sunshine Ro

Amazing gastronomic experience. The food was to die for.

Bill Serson

An amazing dining experience this evening while visiting old friends for the first time since COVID, the room, the service and the food were all excellent... thank you!

Maritime Nightline

The first time visiting Saint John and I decided to try Italian By Night. The restaurant was extremely busy to the point that when I arrived 10min before my reservation time, their waiting area was full, so I was told to wait outside until the exact time of my reservation. The atmosphere was pretty loud, certainly much louder than I anticipated. The server was terrific and super friendly. I started with bruschetta and the carpaccio first as appetizers; the bruschetta was mediocre, I’ve had better, but the carpaccio was delicious. I would recommend it. I didn’t want their Scollop Carbonara, so I asked if they could make it a regular bacon Carbonara, and the server said that wasn’t a problem. Again, the pasta was nothing special, it was like regular pasta anywhere else, but it was still good. It was served very hot and fresh, which was great. As for the dessert menu, I ordered four because I wasn’t sure when I would be revisiting Saint John and wanted to try as many as possible. The dessert was probably the best part of the meal. The Pavlova was nothing special, but the apple and caramel were yummy! However, the Torta, which is the rich dark chocolate torte with raspberry coulis and whipped cream, and the Crème Brûlée were both the best by far and fantastic! My least favorite dessert was the Tiramisu. Overall, Italian By Night is nice and fancy for Saint John because there is nothing here, but if this restaurant was in Toronto or any other major city, it would be a regular restaurant with a few great dishes.

Jonathan Payn

Just had the 2018 winter chop chop menu at the bar. It was absolutely delicious. Staff was prompt, professional, and very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone. Am looking forward to going again.

Sassy Selassie

Great food and atmosphere

Mike Belliveau

Excellent experience and wonderful food (as always). Staff were great. I was not sure what to expect during the "new normal ", but it felt like like a regular evening out. Staff were all wearing masks and there was directional markings on the floor. Highly recommend a night out at IbN.

Rommy Gan

Great food. Coffee not so great

Gert Faber

(Translated) Best seafood risotto I have eaten! Superb place and very welcoming staff! (Original) Meilleur risotto aux fruits de mer que j'ai mangé! Endroit superbe et personnel très accueillant!

Mike Swiech

Had there chop chop which consisted of a Cesar salad as first course followed by a chicken Parm Hero and truffle oil fries and finished with a desert. Felt the salad lacked flavour and you'd expect a homemade dressing but tasted like store brought. Croutons looked like small crumbs. The bread for the hero was nice texture along with the chicken it was well breaded and cooked nicely. Just the right amount of cheese . If you're gonna do fries and pride on homemade I'd suggest not using bagged shoestring fries but made homemade fries as it would have gone along way. The desert was the star imo. Not impressed with the 35 price tag. Felt lacking for this price .

gurdiksh malhotra

The tenderloin was absolute perfection

K Estabrooks

Delicious delicious service first class

Judy Mullin

My husband and I had our anniversary dinner last night. The meal and service was outstanding. This was our first time there. We didn’t have room for desert but maybe next time

Ryan Phillips

My wife and I went here for our 3rd anniversary. Great food, good prices! We would highly recommend this for some really good Italian food and good desserts as well!

Joshua Marsh

Italian by night is a wonderful restaurant in Uptown St. John. The food and atmosphere are great, all tied with a bow of splendid service! Just be certain to ask about portion sizes, as some can be smaller!!

Shannon Hay

Delicious

Corrine Donovan

Fantastic experience! Staff was amazing and helpful. Put together but friendly atmosphere. Food is top notch. Great for every occasion. Edit: I've seen some people complain about "being removed" after a period of time and I just want to let others know WE GET AN EMAIL ABOUT THIS BEFORE EVEN GOING. Due to Covid they set times for party goers and they tell you before your reservation. I do not know why these people are hiding that fact while posting a bad review. You are given MORE than enough time to enjoy your dinners and deserts, then you leave at your exit time. Very clearly stated in the emails you get.

Beth Shaw

We had a great meal , the service was wonderful. I hope to go again soon!

Michaela Barnes

Delicious! Fancy! Can't wait to go again!

Gary Ogden

Great food and impeccable service!

Patrick Flowers

Our first visit to Italian by night was great. The service and atmosphere were perfect. We had a seafood dish and spaghetti with meatballs that were out of this world. Will definitely be back!

Dan Venturelli

Best food in Saint John. Hands down!

Dmitry D

Amazing experience ????. Definitely will be returning.

Jason Yeomans

Love it

Rod Perron

Wicked spot for authentic Italian that is delicious ????, great wine menu and deserts!!! Service was excellent, food excellent and they even had a vegan choice for me ????. Very pleased with my experience and will definitely go there again the next time I'm in Saint John!

Matt K

Italian by Night has to be one of the best restaurants in Atlantic Canada. I've been following the chef's blog for years and was really looking forward to trying her food - Michelle didn't disappoint! The antipasto plate was great, full of meats, cheeses, and olives with a variety of breads and spreads (a good amount for the 4 of us). 3 of us got the specials, a couple with their house-made tagliatelle that was light and perfectly cooked. And those desserts...you should definitely try the tiramisu, but the crème brûlée was perfect too. This meal was worth every penny. Can't wait to go back!

Kat Grant

Good food, a little overpriced for the area. Wine is well priced but the food menu could come down a little. A little bread at the beginning for us carb lovers would be nice too! But otherwise - nice atmosphere, comfortable for small to large parties (we had three tables with 8-10 at each table). I would their pizza is the best, most delicious thing on their menu for the best price.

Sandra Tucker

Very impressive business for area.Settled in with glass of wine while enjoying friends and new renovations. Good service uniquely timed for us.Had to use washroom and impressed with the cleanliness. Looking forward to going again!

Dwayne Paget

Harmless and boring

Kim W

We arrived on a saturday night after a days travel, no reservation, and were seated quickly by friendly staff. It is an upscale restaurant, wish we had dressed more appropriatly! Though staff was friendly, the food took quite some time to come out (close to an hour!), was a really busy night. The food was well worth the wait! The most amazing lasagna, and beef sirloin!! I would highly recommend this place for a nice evening out with quality food!

Paul Widdershoven

I haven't tasted great food like this since the day I got married in Florence! I savored every bite. Eccellente!

Jill Hamer

The service, cocktails, and food was delicious. I cannot stop thinking about that polenta!!!!!!!!!!!

Serena Simmons

Let's get started. Atmosphere: to be short, it was dark. Like pretty lights but a little too dark for my liking. The wait staff was very friendly and always had our water filled and dishes taken up. Speaking of dishes, they took the first set of cutlery we had for apps and replaced it with the same + a sharp knife. An annoyance and waste. Game hen: the hen was perfectly cooked and simple with just salt I believe. It was the highlight of the dish. The gnocchi tasted like glorified tater tots. The little bit of brussel sprouts I got were super salty. The squash was randomly spicy and lacking salt. Osso bucco: the lamb could have been more flavorful;cooked nicely but overwhelmingly plain. But the polenta was a nice surprise. Also what happened to it being a cross section of a shank not just a small shank? GF pizza: very disappointed that they just used the same frozen pizza crust as everyone else uses. The crust was hard on the edges and undercooked in the middle. Good flavors though. Creme brulee: we split this between 4 people but it was a nice not too sweet end to the meal. The request of small spoons made it better :) Overall could have done better in the little things with the semi high prices.

Andrew N. Byrne

4 star food, 5 star service. The food here while not perfect, was close and it all tasted incredible. My brother's meatballs and pasta was huge and we were able to take some to go. It was also amazing. Perfectly cooked pasta and the 2 large meatballs left nothing to be desired. My salmon risotto was delicious. The only thing was there was a bit more liquid in the risotto than I am accustomed to. However, it was taken care of by the large piece of salmon on top with the perfectly crispy skin, so maybe that's the point. I ultimately gave this location 5 stars though because our server was wonderful. Happy, funny, friendly. All we wanted was a nice but quick meal and we got it. Can't wait to try more of the dishes when I come back to town. Very nice atmosphere in the restaurant as well.

Dave Williams

The service and ambiance are stellar, the food and drink choices are ample, and the food is absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious!

Evan

This is one of the best restaurants in the city, the food is amazing and beautifully plated, the wine menu is extensive, the staff are pleasant and seem to know when to return so as not to interrupt conversations and keep the meal progressing. Very lovely place, just a little pricey.

Cathy Scott

Beautiful atmosphere. Staff super friendly. Very authentic. Great place to go if you are looking for true Italian cooking.

acgushurst

It's a very well managed spot. Worth it. Stop being cheap Johners, or risk losing a fine dining experience.

F Lapointe

(Translated) Impeccable service. We ate 2 different dishes and all were good quality and very tasty. We recommend it. Very affordable price for this kind of restaurant. We see the kitchen and the preparation very clean. (Original) Service impeccable. Nous avons mangé 2 fois des mets différent et tous étaient de bonne qualité et très bon au goût. Nous vous le recommandons. Prix très abordable pour ce genre de restaurant. Nous voyons la cuisine et la préparation très propre.

Eden Llego

My husband and I had the pleasure to dine here and it was the most exquisite dine we had in the city. It was my first time at this restaurant as well, and it was a very good experience! We thank the waitress and gave our compliments to the chef! ????????????????

Stephanie Culliton

Everything was excellent.

Mark Purdy

Service is seriously wonderful. We sat along the bar and the bar tender Abby was awesome. We enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, and nice seafood pasta plates. It was outstanding. Highly recommend visiting this place for fine dinning during your stay in Saint John.

Michael Maher

Friendly Staff, Delicious food. specially the Bar Lady & her new assistant

Gray Skedgel

Great ambiance, poor food, high prices. This restaurant cannot consistently serve good food. Real shame because it's got so much potential.

Mary-Ellen Wilcox

Always a treat to be surrounded by quality food and fun waitstaff

One of the most romantic restaurants in Saint John. Food is always beautifully prepared.

Angele Vallieres

Everything about this restaurant is amazing!!! The food was phenomenal and the service was too notch! Very highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

Jacked__Josh

To start off on a good note, the restaurant’s atmosphere was great and décor was very pleasing. The hot towel before the meal was a nice touch and our waitress was really nice and did a great job. But… (Here we go) our work party made reservations one month before hand and when we (8 people) showed up there was no record of it. Almost everything our group ordered was OVER priced for the size of the dish. Come on people, $20 for a small pizza. I have trouble calling it that because all I got was a flat piece of bread with little pieces of cheese and a few mushrooms on it. They called them truffles but they could have been Costco mushrooms for all I know. My co-worker’s pasta was ice cold and the tomato sauce was almost tasteless. She let me try it. She asked our nice waitress for a new plat and told her what was wrong with it. The waitress returned about 4 minutes later with the same plat! The pasta must have been put in the microwave for 20 seconds because the temp of the pasta must have risen by fractions. All 8 of us were not happy with the food and my not return.

Angela Black

Fabulous food, ambiance

Ian Smith

Best Italian dining experience I have had in years. Had the pleasure of being hosted in a private room for a small covid rule compliant group dinner. Maître D’ was galante, explained dishes and specials to those not versed in Italian cuisine. Excellent specials. Had both starters and main special. Deserts were superb. Wine list was very good. Some affordable, some for special occasions. New fav in Saint John. I'll be back.

Chris Desabrais

Amazing food, great atmosphere

Eric Falkjar

Great evening. High quality restaurant for Saint John.

Ryan Brownell

Excellent service and food.

Geoff Clarke

Delicious food, fun staff, great atmosphere. You do need a reservation.

B Ty

Italian by night has achieved a warm and inviting atmosphere with outstanding staff, photo worthy decor, a great uptown location and cozy lighting. You won't find better service or a better menu, everything our table has ordered was a flavourful indulgence. You can truly taste the care put into perfecting each mouth watering recipe. If you're a chocolate lover, don't even think about skipping dessert, the Torta is incredible! Pricing is more than fair for the quality of food and the atmosphere!

Phil Malenfant

Fantastic experience. Can wait to visit Saint John again.

Cameron King

An amazing experience great food only out done by the staff. A must.

Andrew Stokes-Rees

Pleasant atmosphere. Classy touches in the place and service. Menu is not diverse but dishes are made with great quality. Staff are excellent.

Bryan Gweon

By far the best establishment in Saint John. Both the food and service are unmatched. Always a joy to be there.

Tracey Galbraith

We both had a delicious meal, cooked to perfection. The server was great, love the atmosphere. One of our favorite restaurants!!

Rob Woodburn

Great food. The tables are quite close to each other and the atmosphere is loud. Sometimes hard to hear the other people at your table. They should remove some tables for a better atmosphere.

Sean McKinley

Always an amazing dinner at IBN. Service is great. One of my top three go to restaurants in Saint John

Lisa Lessard

Gorgonzola Pizza was AMAZING!

Dr. D.

Wow. Don't bother reading the rest of this one, it's just going to tell you to go. The food was amazing, we had gnocchi and lasagna, and both dishes were flat out great. The meatball appetizer is a great choice, and the sangria is perfectly mixed. Our waitress was so good, and all the staff we interacted with were friendly, smiling and just wonderful. 10/10, will be back again.

Gerrit Kruidhof

Delicious food, attentive staff, upscale environment, good selection of beverages, great place for a special night out. The staff is quite attentive, even when the place is bustling with customers. They tend to be very friendly and accommodating. The menu has a good variety of flavorful food as long as you don't mind a heavy hand with the salt. Unfortunately, the pizza was basically inedible because the exterior of the crust had salt added as well, but the rest of the food was great, even though it was also even more salty than most places. The flavour combinations of each dish is inventive and enjoyable. The appetizers are just as good as the entrees and can even be sufficient as your entree if you like. There are several tables right in front of the full windows with a nice street view. The full bar is nice with a good amount of seating too. There is a private room in the back that can accommodate up to twenty people for meetings, which is recommended for large groups since the dining area can get pretty loud.

Gino Dion

Wow, just wow! One of the best wine selection in the province, very friendly staff, amazing menu, and generous portions. Ambiance manages to still feel cozy in an open environment. My new favorite spot!

Nicalena Neary

Beautiful upscale restaurant serving delicious Italian Food done with a flair. Staff efficient and friendly. Owner Elizabeth is delightful.

Steve Grant

First visit. I had read the reviews, however our evening was even better than expected. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. IbN is world-class.

John K

Best pizza in town

Florent Lafitte

Really loved the meal, good service but a little too pricey. The decor of the restaurant is a little too simple as well and expected a higher environment for this kind of restaurant.

Laurie C.

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.

Dan Pyke

Great food. Love the atmosphere!

Joanna Paul

Great atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, delicious food in uptown Saint John. I will blame the packed restaurant for our server getting our order wrong, twice. We enjoyed the energy in this place so much we didn't really mind.

Ian bartlett

Great atmosphere and lovely food served with a smile .. what is not to like. I'll be back and would definitely recommend

Tzippy Sayag

Great. Good for family and fancy. We enjoyed very much

Peter M

Excellent food and atmosphere. Prices were very fair for an upscale restaurant. A great place to bring guests from out of town.

Jeff Cronk

Great food and friendly service.

David Zelward

This is a great restaurant! All the staff are very friendly and attentive without making anyone feel rushed. The food is excellent and the portion size is large enough that most people won't leave still feeling hungry.

Jeff Ferguson

This place is truly awesome food experience. A truly unique and special venue. The old Bustins furniture store has been transformed into this amazing foodies paradise. The food is to die for. Lots of gluten free options too. If I lived here I would be here once a month. Time to move back home!

Jennifer IrvinWard

Had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful meal the night of Sparkles. I had not been in a while. I love the changes that were made to accommodate Covid. The food was amazing as always. The staff were wonderful, as always. I can't wait to go back. One of my uptown favorites.

Ken Christian

Great food

S Holland

Great food, Great atmosphere, another wonderful evening out. His & Hers bottles of wine. What else could you ask for??? Hmm,. Great wait staff, yep they have that as well.

Drew Mcpherson

Very nice place and the servers have an excellent attitude even though I was probably a bit cheeky and they deserve a bigger tip than I could afford. I would go again for sure.

H Hayward

Simply incredible. The service is fantastic. Great atmosphere.

Chief ironside

Excellent in all regards.

Heather Urquhart

Home made ravioli is wonderful and seafood pasta so tasty!

Karla Russell

Earlier today made Online booking, failed any response for confirmation tomorrow evening, so called, no record of réservation request at 6 pm??? Hoping restaurant experience for our now late sitting to be better. Update to come...fingers crossed!

Joshua Morrissey

Food was fantastic, super friendly servers

Bob Burgess

Everything our table ordered was very, very good. I had the lasagna... I've eaten a lot of lasagna in my life, but this was the best, by far. Our appetizer, the mussels, had multiple layers of flavour that I've never experienced in mussels before. Pricey, yes. Could I go every week? No. But completely worth the money. Very pleased.

Yaniv Yael

Very slow service, very small portion for dinner size, very overpriced

Tanya Davidson

Pasta itself is great quality but some of the other ingredients are lacking in the dishes that my group tried. Apps are very expensive for what you get, as well are the mains. 2 out of 3 people that came to our table were quite snooty when we asked questions about the menu. Towel service was a nice touch. Tiny tables cramped in a small area. Waitress asked us to pay our bills while my friend was still eating because she needed to clear our table for the next reservation which we found out was over a half hour away. Probably won't return.

Vanessa Coppelmans

(Translated) Good service and the food was delicious. (Original) Bon service et la nourriture était délicieuse.

Nadia Zed

Great service, excellent food and wonderful atmosphere

Jeffrey Scammell

Excellent service and atmosphere! A place I bring people from out of town to impress them.

Dine in

Ethan Noel

Love the drinks!!

Chas Judge

The pork chop was OK, the sorbet wasn't very good, and a drunk patron spilled a glass of my wine on me, for which I was subsequently charged in full. Revision (30-10-2018): To clarify, two women from another table who were passing were responsible for spilling our wine, not the women with whom we were dining. The overall quality of my experience sadly didn't live up to the hype, for which I was quite disappointed. Nevertheless, I appreciate your response and think it's great that Chop Chop is a charitable event.

Gay Bordeaux

Delicious meal

Andrew Clarke

One of the best restaurants in the city. Authentic.

Curtis Godin (Google Maps Editor)

This is a very classy place and is very much a popular spot for the locals and tourists alike. They have such a wide variety of products to choose from and the prices are more than fair. They have such a friendly staff and the facilitie is so clean and well kept. I'm always looking forward to dining at this place. Highly recommended for anyone.

Les Gillet

The best!

Susan Hill

What an amazing evening. The food was exceptional. Our waitress Danielle was fantastic! We will definitely recommend to family and friends and be back ourselves.

Ryan Furtek

A mazing food and service. They pamper you with hot towel service before they pamper you with flavor. The table maintenance was unobtrusive and impeccable...I loved every minute. I only regret not saving room for desert. I can not wait to come back!

Gina C

IBN continues to be what I consider the best resto in Saint John. There is nothing that they don't do well, from the professional service to the excellently executed and authentic Italian dishes. The desserts will also blow you away! The wine is reasonably priced, the staff are the Gold Standard in the greater SJ area and the atmosphere is "the" most happening place anywhere! Great art and menus that are refreshed seasonaly. The decor is warm and electric. The Covid barriers they erected are so well done they are seamless and in fact, a value-add - adds warmth. Bonus under Covid rules, they record your double vax status so once you show, you're good to go back without showing it over again. Busy place so make reservations on Open Table - and get the bonus email reminder!

Ubade Diyap

(Translated) Very good restaurant with varied menu. Atmosphere more chic than a pub. The service was definitely impeccable, both at the cocktail bar and at the tables. Only slight downside: the price of the dish of the day is not indicated and is much higher than the regular dishes. (Original) Très bon restaurant avec menu varié. Ambiance plus chic qu'un pub. Le service était définitivement impeccable, autant au bar à cocktail qu'aux tables. Seul léger bémol : le prix du plat du jour n'est pas indiqué et est beaucoup plus élevé que les plats réguliers.

Steve Morrison

Amazing, not the cheapest place in the city but I have a new favorite restaurant in Saint John! We had the shrimp scampi, ravioli and scallop carbonara, and the tiramisu for desert, highly recommended!

Dennis Harris

What a great place. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing. Staff was super friendly as well

Shawn McNee

Wow, great atmosphere the service is excellent food was awesome

Gregory Boyd

Competent execution in the kitchen but oh my the front of house needs work. Reservations are recommended but don't count on getting anything to eat in under 40 minutes.

Brad MacLellan

Great food and service! Had the bruschetta app and house made pasta. Might be my new fav spot in the city!

Susan Kovacs-Thorndyke

Service was exceptional and server very attentive, fun atmosphere and the food is delicious, will be making several returns to this establishment, also has gluten free options for individuals who cannot eat foods with wheat

Terrific eatery. All food is fresh and hand made including the pasta. The pricing is incredibly fair. Service is attentive and warm. Love the open kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. Bravo!

Rod Paul

Nice atmosphere, decent staff. The night I was there was fairly busy and they got my order wrong twice ( I have Celiac). I didn't fuss over that since I was in no hurry but I know others might be put off. A good choice in Saint John NB. The Gluten Free pizza needs a lot of work sadly but I look forward to trying the other dishes.

Sam

The food is good and the atmosphere is great. I would say it is expensive but it's really not too bad as the quality is great too.

The best food and service is here, there is no questions about it.

Really liked this little bit of Italy in the Market Square area of Saint John. The staff were very friendly. Nice interior. Good menu choices. Portions were quite right, very well prepared and presented. Great dessert (try the thiramusu). Reasonable beer and wine selection. Would recommend the establishment.

Darren Mcleod

Always a consistently excellent meal. One of the best for Italian food in the country and simple touches like hot towels before dinner service is a forgotten touch that Italian by Night has wisely reintroduced. Smooth and highly competent service too. A must go to in Saint John.

john casca

As a italian my comment on the place is the service was great the food was cooked well we had the chicken parmigiano the chicken was well cooked but the tomato sauce on the pasta had no flavor in my opinion the sauce needs work other than that I would recommend this place that's why I give it a 3

Eric Lesser

Always an intimate atmosphere. Great food!! Limoncello was a nice end to the meal; reminded us of our time in Sorrento.

Ron Joned

I found it noisy. The restaurant could use some sound deadening materials. We were a group of 8 and all ordered the tenderloins. They all came rare no matter how they were ordered. Mediums were rare. The medium well orders were rare. A well done order was rare. Probably won't go back

Edward McLean

Amazing service and food

Ron Steenson

My wife and I visited here for our anniversary this past weekend. We had Calamari and scallops to start. Main course was lasagna and a seafood pasta. All of the food was excellent but the calamari really stood out as the best we have had at least on the East Coast. The service was also stellar so these guys get a rare 5 star from us. We will be back......soon.

Erica Pollock

Great food, good atmosphere and amazing customer service. Would recommend this place to everyone and will definitely be coming back in the future

Rebecca Warrington

Real pearl of restaurant in our lovely city!!!

Jackie Reid

I would like to start off by saying the meal was excellent. However, shocked when the bill came. We listened to the specials. Never thought to ask the server the price and he did not volunteer the price. The most expensive item on the menu is what $34. So one would assume the word special would be reasonable. Most establishments are. So when the bill came and I was charged $48.dollars for the "special"..well, as i said, the meal was excellant, but not $48.00 excellant. In fact, for a tenderloin, over a 1/2 cup of mashed potato, 2 asparagus, and a slice of squash, 1 inch by 4 inch, it was high way robbery Plus, it took almost 2 hours to receive. Is that so people will have more drinks???.

Peter Croft

Well done SO, who knew you had it in you for such a great restaurant!

Farrah Forbes

Excellent spot!! 5 *'s on atmosphere & food options. The beef short ribs & surf & turf were among our favourites...staff are very engaging and genuinely interested in your comfort. Recommend this spot for any occasion

Marc

The hype of Italian by Night had us very excited to go. Before we arrived, (our reservation for 5:30) we were notified that our table is booked immediately after our reservation, at 7:30. When we got there at 5:30 we waited a while for our server to come and introduce herself. When she arrived at our table she made note that we have an hour and a half of our table left. We ordered the scampi for an appetizer to share, but unless you get an appetizer that is for 2 people, the portion is not large enough to really share. We waited about 20 minutes for our entrees to come after we finished the scampi. I had the penne carbonara and my wife had the ravioli. My pasta was okay, but nothing special, especially not for the price of it. My wife's ravioli was cold and was supposed to have a salmon mousse inside, but it just tasted like canned salmon. It was when we're almost finished eating that our server came by with the cracked pepper and parmesan to offer us which was frustrating as we both wanted that at the beginning of our meal, not when we had a few bites left! Lastly we ordered a tiramisu to share. This was tasty but again, the portion was too small to share. We waited longer for the bill, at which point the server said we still have time to have another cocktail, which we declined. Being reminded of the time we felt rushed. The dining room was also loud, that being said it was a Saturday evening. All in all we both felt it did not live up to the hype.

Shelly Landry

Great atmosphere, great food!

Brenda Biron

Atmosphere lovely, friendly waitress, food not so much! Entree should include colourful veg or salad. Said on menu includes seasonal veg but I assumed it would be fresh, not a condiment. If there was an entire fresh Italian veg dish It would be a 5 star... hoping that will be a menu item!

MIKE SAUNDERS

Good food good atmosphere will definitely return.

Italian by night is a fantastic restaurant in St. John. Our waiter, Daniel, was exceptional. From the food to the atmosphere and the impeccable service...wonderful! Highly recommend this restaurant. Big city vibe Awesome spot. The best bartender in town - Perry! Recommend highly, they have amazing pizza and atmosphere. You can’t go wrong! I have been to Italian By Night on three different occasions. Each time I am blown away by the fantastic food, the quality of the service received, and the wonderful atmosphere. Well worth the drive to Saint John!

I've been here several time but tonight was a disappointment! The Puttanesca pizza was very salty for my mom (which is fine because everyone's taste buds are different) so the waitress nicely asked her to pick something else, my mom chose a Quatro Toscano pizza which came out with burned crusts (A.K.A everyone's favourite part of the pizza) . My mom had 1 piece but ended up sending it back to the kitchen since all she can smell is burned pizza. My mom did mention to the server that the pizza is very good but sadly was burned and the server did not bother to ask my mom if she wants something else. Later, I discovered sand in my mussels in my Risotto Di Mare which I can hear the sound and feel the hard sand in my mouth when chewing (my dad also felt it). The waitress told us she'll bring out the manager but came back by herself and said that the kitchen's been serving the plate all night with no complaints or problems, therefore I just left the dish and unhappy with the way she transmits the message from the kitchen. In conclusion, my mom waited two hours to 2 pieces of pizza. Our waitress mentioned how "she has worked there for 2 years and never had a complaint, let along 3 from 1 table" or when I asked to see the dessert menu she goes "are you sure because if you have 1 more complaint I'd just leave". I am not writing this to criticize my server, she was fairly nice and as I've mentioned above, we were very nice about it as I also said sorry each time and we tipped them. We were disappointed with the way the restaurant handled the situation or maybe it is the wordings. I hope they can be more careful about this since this used to be one of my favourite restaurants, it was very unprofessional of them.

It has been too long since we dined here because of Covid restrictions. Carpaccio is back on the menu, so I was very excited about that! We sat at the bar, which I was even more excited about, because our bae server Abby works it on the weekend, and her company is always a pleasure and her service is impeccable!! Delish food, tasy cocktails and 5 star service- what more could a gourmande ask for?! ❤

Matt Starker

Pasta dishes were significantly overpriced for what you were getting. I would suggest sticking to the pizzas, which seemed a bit more on par with what you were paying. Wine selection was slightly disappointing and the lack of regional Canadian wines surprised me.

Garett Johnston

While traveling through Saint John, we were pleasantly surprised to discover IBN. The food was delicious. The price reflected the quality. Our waiter, George, took the experience over the top. He was knowledgeable about the dishes and offered several suggestions based on our preferences. We arrived late in the evening but we were welcomed graciously and not rushed. In fact, we were encouraged to enjoy our meal. Thank you for a relaxing finish to our travels.

Jennifer Dwyer

My companion was called by the restaurant and told that our table was booked immediately after our 5:30 reservation and we had to be out by 7:30. We arrived at 5:40 and received ONE drink. After initial refills no one came back with water. At 7:12 we still did not have our food. When the bus person was asked about drink refills she stated she would get the wait staff. 30 minutes later we had to ask again. Whether or not the food is good does not make up for the bad service. My companions did enjoy their meals however I found my pizza very soggy. No time for tea or dessert, people were waiting for our table. After all that I paid an expensive bill, which, when it came out was wrong and had to be corrected. The staff did apologize for that. The restaurant is very loud on a Saturday evening so don’t go here if you are looking for a quiet relaxed meal. We basically had to yell to hear each other. That part I expected though as I had been here before. No plans to return.

David Rogers

Definitely one of my absolute favourite restaurants in St. John. I've been there several times, had excellent food, service everytime. Quality of food is quite good. Atmosphere is excellent, quiet enough for good conversation but the place is usually busy that you feel part of a community. Decor is attractive.

Khanman 506

love this place.Best calamari in town among with many other delicious options of authentic Italian pasta and so much more

Deborah Martel

My husband treated me to dinner tonight for our 13th wedding anniversary. It was the first time we have been to your restaurant. We were blown away by the ambiance, service and food. We received the best service by far of any restaurant I have experienced. Our server was Daniel and he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I ordered the salmon and risotto and my husband ordered the lasagna. The food was out of this world delishous! We were so impressed that I ordered the cheesecake to go. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for making our celebration memorable.

Erica Ellefsen

It's clear to me a lot of passion and care has gone into the creation of this restaurant. Starting with the food, it was absolutely delicious and freshly made. I would say the portion sizes are quite generous. And finally presentation was not overlooked, the dishes were plated simply and looked great. The service was exceptional, our server was friendly and attended our table regularly. We were a family of six, our food arrived in a timely manner, in good order and all the dishes were correct. Finally, the atmosphere was that of an upscale restaurant. Set in a historic brick building, while the decor of the restaurant is classy and modern looking. Thanks for the Experience.

Mark Somerville

Best Italian food in New Brunswick. Don't miss out!

Numsta Jones

Love it there.

J Sebata

Last night was my third visit . The first two visits were average at best but unfortunately the third time was not the charm. Whether it was new staff or weak leadership, service was slow and inconsistent. Arguably the food that was available was of good quality but presentation lacked. Two of the menu appetizers were not even available which is inexcusable for a restaurant of this apparent reputation. I don't often complain about prices but after spending just over 160 C$ for two people it was not good value for the spend. Disappointed.

J Connell

I got the fettuccine Alfredo. Meh. It was not very creamy and tasted reheated. Fettuccine Alfredo is not a difficult dish to get right. For the cost, I would not come back.

Excellent food and ambiance. Only minor drawback might be the relatively short list of options available on the menu, however the somewhat limited choices are all good and likely lead to overall faster service.

George, our server, was just amazing; friendly, yet professional, came to check on us the right amount of times. My glass of water never got empty as there was a young woman who kept going around and filling everyone's water. Really excellent place to have Italian food.

Sadly, the Restaurant we valued so much has done itself in. Friday evening, July 30, 2021 a 7:45pm dinner reservation to celebrate a family birthday and we were kicked out. Yes, you are reading me right. We were indeed kicked out. Not for any misbehavior on our part mind you. We had in fact just finished a lovely meal served by a fantastic waiter. We were ready to have a dessert and coffee or tea. Our waiter came to our table and said he was sorry we could not stay any longer because the time limit for this table had run out, but he could give us our desserts to take home with us. I beg your pardon! What did you just say? We have to leave? Yes, because table time has run out and it is needed for someone else to come in. No one in any way informed us of such circumstances. To put it bluntly, it was embarrassing. We had to quickly pay up and leave. If such was the circumstances we should have been informed when the reservation was being made. This is no way to run a business or treat customers. Does that restaurant expect us to go back? I would think not. But the fact is we have gift cards given us by our adult children which are still valid. I think we are owed an apology from this establishment. I now wish to make some further comments re the above: The Owners contacted me(us) about the above experience. And I am very happy to say it was a very positive contact. Through this contact we learned that our not so good situation resulted from a gap in communication. Such can happen to anyone. We have again dined at Italianbynight and with great satisfaction. It is a very favorite restaurant for us and we will continue to book our reservations there when we decide to dine out. For this we are very pleased and offer them our sincere thanks. Wally Collett.
