    We were a table of four and all love to eat out when we get the chance. This was the fourth or fifth time we have eaten at Italian by Night and have always enjoyed ourselves. Every thing was the same as usual still love the warm towels which is a nice touch. One thing stood out way above everything else. The food which is always good on Thursday evening reached a new level. Two of us had the salmon one of us had the evening special of sirloin steak and one had scollop fettuccine along with apps and desert. From beginning to end we enthusiastically agreed every mouth full was a delight. The crispy crust on the mouth watering salmon to the perfect cook on the steak to the wine sauce in the fettuccine even the chard lemon are seared in our memories as one of the very best meals the four us have ever eaten. The delights of the meal continued to the deserts of Totre and Tirimsu even the way Mike our server poured our tea. Please let Chef and Team know we left your restaurant Thursday evening four very happy, well feed and cared for very different individuals. Not usually easy to please.

    Delicious food, excellent service. My only complaint is that my chair was uncomfortable. They have 2 types of chairs and in future I will be requesting the fabric chairs rather than the uncomfortable metal chair I had.

    Ben was excellent once again! He was very helpful in offering suggestions and very attentive with his service. The food was amazing as usual but we wouldn’t have expected anything else. We were celebrating my husbands 50th and it was just perfect!

    We had a fantastic dinner at IBN tonight. Out waiter was fantastic....super friendly with lots of great suggestions and wonderful service. The food was incredible and the wine suggestion was delicous as well. We enjoyed the calamari as a starter. Perfectly cooked with a great tomato sauce. We had the salsiccia....a huge portion, with just the right amount of spice in the sausage and veal sauce. We also had Scoglio. A huge portion filled with so much perfectly cooked seafood. The decadent buttery sauce was delightful and it was perfectly cooked. For dessert we shared a beautifully moist and delicous tiramisu. A wonderful meal, fantastic service...looking forward to our next visit already!
