network restart fail on Ubuntu server 16.04
In Ubuntu 16.04 server I want to change IP from /etc/network/interfaces and run sudo service networking restart and there is no error given but the IP didn't change.
I also ran sudo systemctl networking restart and sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 but the IP doesn't change.
How do I restart the network interface in Ubuntu 16.04 so it saves the changes?

I think you're on a normal home-network. Those use usually the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If the DHCP-Server doesn't assign that IP to you, you won't get that IP (no matter what you configure on /etc/networking/interfaces). Worse, you could even get no net at all, if you misconfigured.

Yes, and in the DHCP-Server too. If your server says "Yo, I'm configured to use192.0.0.42so give it to me!" but your DHCP (Router/Modem) answers "Yeah, nice. But I only distribute192.168.0.2to192.168.0.50so you get that nice192.168.0.31", then your server gets192.168.0.31and not the IP he wants.

I think it is a bug in Ubuntu network scripts.
If you will modify network interface and then do the ifdown it will fail. You must first bring the interface down. Then you can modify the file and then bring the interface up again:
$ ifdown eth0
$ $EDITOR /etc/network/interfaces
$ ifup eth0

You don't need to restart anything. Using Network Manager (i.e. click on the network icon), disconnect the interface, and then click on it to reconnect. You should see the new IP on the interface.
In general, it's good to remember that if Network Manager is running, it expects to be managing interfaces. Attempting to change interfaces with cli commands will usually result in network manager changing them back, or something similar/worse. If you don't want Network Manager to manage an interface, simply delete the interface from Network Manager.
