Il Davide - (Near San Rafael, CA)

5 /5 Luca Revelli: Nice ambiance and decoration, well run restaurant thats paying attention to details. Waitress was very nice and friendly. Calamari fritti was really good, a light batter, and soft meet. Cioppino was great too, I cleaned out the plate. Easy parking behind the restaurant.

4 /5 Chris Thomas: This is a lively italian resturant located in San Rafael. Has a great variety of well made food. Very personable service (after you get past the matradie not David) creative specials and a good wine selection. Recommended you make a reservation. A recommended place for an evining with friends to dine.

5 /5 Georgia: Absolutely amazing food ambiance and service. 5 stars. The staff are amazing the food recommendations incredible. We enjoyed a gorgeous watermelon and tomato salad as a starter. Then we had our mains . My husband had an Incredible Sea bass and I was wavering between the scampi and a seafood pasta. I asked the waiter to choose for me and he didnt disappoint. Full of different kinds of seafood all cooked perfectly. The tables around us all had food that looked and smelled incredible as it came out. Filled and happy we would definitely come back to this amazing place.

5 /5 Natalie Caldwell: Il Davide is a perfect Italian gem in the middle of downtown San Rafael. I would absolutely recommend making a reservation, or make sure you get there before 5:45 to ensure you have a table. The drinks are split - cocktails were great. Weirdly, the wine fell flat and was borderline disappointing. The food - you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Don’t fill up too much on the bread they bring, while it’ll be tempting. Highly recommend getting the calamari fritti to start. For entrees, go for the house made pasta; it’s what they’re known for. Capellini del diavolo is delightful and not too spicy. The fettuccine viareggio is decadent and full of flavor. And the chicken parm is like no other. All of our plates would have been licked clean if that was appropriate in public. Of course end with some gelato or sorbet. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the meal. Great meal. Will be back!

5 /5 Thomas Klindt: Reservations are essential. They feature a menu with a number of tantalizing options. Selection of seafoods was better than normal. Food quality and preparation of were top tier. Absolutely a great restaurant thats doing all the right things.
