    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.
