Autumn arrives with Italian by Night’s Autunno Menu

It truly is a great time of year and the colours of the trees that line the highways and country roads easily translate to a similar abundance; the flavours you’ll find on our Italian by Night (IbN) Autunno Menu.

The team is back to work; Michelle & Kim are working hard in the kitchen preparing for our new menu. One of their favourites? They say if you want to start with a melt in your mouth flavour, start with our Insalata D’ Autunno: Warm caramelized pears on fresh greens topped with Gorgonzola and walnuts.

Sharing is a great way to go! Try our Aracini or Bruschetta board that changes slightly in its presentation and ingredients each season.

The lasagna (La Gran Lasagne) is one of a kind! You can order it in Italy or at Italian by Night. What makes it great is the preparation; layers of house made pasta and IbN meatballs, scratch balsamella, tomatoes and loaded with cheese.

For autumn we’ve introduced a four course (quattro corso) menu offering. We’re excited to offer our customers an opportunity to eat their way through our menu, similar to an authentic Italian dining experience. We know you’ll leave happy and full!

As always, gluten-free pasta is available and there are so many dishes available to you on all our menus. Vegetarian? We can easily make your dining experience a great one!

Great News!!! Saturday, October 13th we’re open Saturdays

Since introducing our Italian by Night in February 2012 you’ve asked for us to be open for dinner on Saturday evenings. Now we are and we hope to see you soon! Reservations are recommended but you can certainly take your chances and drop in. We always try to accommodate you and your guests – even on short notice.

Thinking Christmas? You’re not alone. If you would like to join us for a Christmas Italian menu give me (Elizabeth) a call at 652.3354. Let’s chat and see what we can do for you! We also offer caterings and private dinners.

buon appetito!

It is such a pleasure to serve our customers the Italian by Night Spring Menu. And with all the incredible feedback you have given us, it makes it all worth the work in our kitchen! It makes it rewarding and fun!

We look forward to sharing our summer menu in June as our seasonal food items change.

The Spring Menu items our customers are truly enjoying are…

It begins with Antipasti – the appetizer.

  • Insalata Primavera – New spinach, toasted pine nuts, crispy pancetta in a warm lemon vinaigrette
  • Caprese Salad – My favourite and I begged our kitchen team to carry it over from our winter menu…and they did
  • Bruschetta – The presentation and flavors on this board are by far some of the freshest and most flavorful foods you’ll taste!

Primi – the first course after the appetizer.Primi – the first course after the appetizer (we offer small and large portions)

  • Penne con Sugo di Salsiccie – imported pasta with slow cooked pork, veal and house made sausage in our delicious sauce
  • Linquine Con Cozze – wine steam mussels, tomato, chili, garlic and fresh basil

  • Lasagne al Forno – baked layers of house made pasta, sauce, besciamella Parmigiano and mozzarella – you’ll take some home!

And if you finish your dinner….PAVLOVA…this dessert is like eating light fluffy pillows with fresh fruit and mint – even when your full it’s refreshing!
