Fantastic restaurant! Food-awesome! Wine selection-awesome! Service-awesome! Specifically…Sarah was/is a lovely server. She was funny, witty, attentive and professional. The lamb and steak were properly cooked. The wine was perfectly paired and Roland…you are a gracious host, brilliant chef and a fantastic restaurateur! We will keep coming back!

Valentine’s Day at Illuminaté Restorante was truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
Our server, Steve, was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely made us feel taken care of throughout the entire evening. When a private booth became available, he came over and asked if we’d like to move, and of course we jumped at the opportunity! That small gesture made the night feel even more special and intimate. His attention to detail and warm personality truly elevated the entire experience.
The food was just as incredible. We ordered seven items from the menu, and each dish came out perfectly timed. Somehow, every course seemed to be better than the last. You could tell a lot of care went into both the preparation and presentation.
We spent the entire evening talking about how amazing everything was, the service, the atmosphere, and the food. It was a Valentine’s Day we won’t forget, and we can’t wait to come back again.

I can’t say enough about this restaurant. Since I live on Vancouver Island, I’ve only had the ability to go twice, but every single dish and drink we have had has been nothing short of perfect. Such a beautiful atmosphere, clean, comfortable, and fancy-ish but relaxed. The drinks are amazing. And the then the food… Quite literally the best food I have ever eaten, anywhere! You can tell the chef and kitchen take their time and take pride in what they are serving. It’s outstanding. We have a reservation booked a couple weeks from now and I cannot wait!!

An unforgettable evening of Italian charm and incredible flavors.
We came here for a birthday celebration and were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The vibe is business casual, but you could easily dress up for a fancier night out—whether it’s for drinks, a date, or a full-course dinner.
The hostess was warm and welcoming, having us seated within minutes even without a reservation. The space was clean, cozy, and felt like stepping into Nonna’s home—inviting, comforting, and full of heart.
Service was impeccable all night, but a special shoutout to DEAN, who brought a level of professionalism and warmth that truly stood out. As a final surprise, he brought out a delicious dessert with a candle, adding a thoughtful and memorable touch to cherish the night even more.
We started with a plate of fresh oysters—absolutely beautiful and perfectly chilled. Then came the mussels… hands down the best sauce we’ve ever had. (Seriously, I wish the photo could capture the flavor!)
For mains, we had a seafood pasta bursting with freshness and perfectly cooked lamb shanks with a rich balsamic reduction. (I hope I remember that correctly, please forgive me if I did not!) Everything was balanced, flavorful, and plated with care.
Drinks? Endless options. I kept it classic with a crisp Peroni in a tall glass (clean tap lines—always appreciated), while my partner enjoyed a refreshing mocktail. Water was refilled regularly without us needing to ask—small detail, big impression.
If you’re looking for a place that blends traditional Italian cuisine with genuine hospitality and an inviting atmosphere, this spot checks every box. We’ll absolutely be back.

This is a long overdue review. Back in the beginning of October, we wanted Italian food for dinner. We also wanted to go somewhere that we had never been to before. A search brought led me to Illuminaté Restorante. We are extremely glad it did! So, a reservation was made.
Upon entering, we immediately found Illuminaté Restorante to be a comfortable environment with a rustic Italian feel. Obviously, it is a popular place too. We can understand why.
Our meal started off with the Grilled Romaine and the Grilled Calamari to share. Both were outstanding! The Roasted Garlic dressing was wonderful on the perfectly grill romaine. The Calamari was a surprising delight. The hints of orange and pickled fennel took this squid to another level. In a world, awesome!
Our pasta mains were next level Italian cuisine. The Pappardelle al Ragu was by far on of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The Braised Angus Short Ribs and Mushrooms were in a sauce that was out of this world. As for the Spaghetti and Meatballs, one would think “What a basic dish.” This was far beyond basic. Whatever is in their “Family Recipe” is extremely flavourful and delicious. Best meatballs ever.
Of course there was dessert. We shared the Citrus Crème Brule and the Mini Cannolis. The Lemongrass and Citrus was a great edition to this delicious custard. One cannot go to an Italian restaurant without having Cannolis. The Pistachio and Ricotta filling was superb. These mini cannolis rivals those of Mike’s Pastries of Boston.
And then there’s the service. Marie took extremely good care of us. She is very knowledgeable about the menu when we had questions. In chatting with Marie, she told us how much she loves her job and what she does. It shows. It’s always a pleasure to have service like Marie’s when dining out.
So, would I recommend Illuminaté Restorante? Absolute! This is a gem of a restaurant that you don’t have to travel downtown to. We can’t wait to dine there again.

It was our first time at this restaurant. When we noticed such a high Google score we decided to check it out and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing – we had the onion soup to start, the spaghetti and meatballs and the halibut. Best halibut I’ve probably ever eaten and the other dishes were amazing too. We finished with the ganache and needed to be rolled out to the car. Our server Rebecca was amazing (hi Rebecca!), super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Thanks for a fabulous experience. We will be back – highly recommended!

We had an amazing time here tonight for dinner. The inside is cozy and warm, the music was in good taste as well, the service was fantastic as well! I think she had to bring us 4 separate tubs of water and it was always timely. The food was also out of this world. My baked calamari was done perfectly, the Spaghetti Carpaccio was amazing and super flavorful and the dessert was great as well. This was an amazing experience overall!

I visited this restaurant on a Friday evening around 5 PM with my partner. The restaurant wasn’t full, and I ordered based on the server’s recommendation. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium rare, but it came out much closer to medium.
I could tell it was overcooked after making several cuts to check different parts of the steak. Since I was hungry, I started eating the vegetables while waiting for the server to check on us—but she never came. My partner and I ended up finishing our entire meal without a single check-in. I saved a piece of the steak and eventually managed to get her attention after trying to make eye contact for a while.
I let her know that the steak was overcooked and showed her the remaining piece. She seemed surprised I was giving negative feedback. I only mentioned it so the chef could be made aware and potentially adjust their cooking times. Unfortunately, no apology or acknowledgment was offered.
For a $69 steak, I expected better. We asked for the bill and still tipped 15%, but after having dined here multiple times in the past, I’m disappointed by this experience and won’t be returning. With other steakhouses in the area offering better food and service—such as Milestones and Four Winds—I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

One of the neighbourhood gems in Tsawassen, this Italian restaurant was where we celebrated two birthdays in one go. Staff was friendly and attentive, taking care to provide two small token desserts to celebrate the occasion. Food was very flavourful, with pasta that was cooked al dente, their meat done just perfectly and their seafood not rubbery due to overcooking. We’ll definitely be back.

Was going for some cannoli, but surprised by its appetizer and penne sausage! The marinara sauce is greatly balanced and tasty. The mini cannoli’s are absolutely amazing. Love the light creamy texture of its pistachio and ricotta filling! The atmosphere and decor was great too.We sat at the patio with cute turkey lamp.
