Try the carbonara with chicken, bacon, broccoli, and truffle oil...or if you really want to go all out, the lobster instead of the chicken. Delicious!

We had the miso sea bass, scallops, calamari and polenta and everything was cooked to perfection. Hat's off to the chef. Our waitress was personable and efficient, timing everything just right. We never had to ask for more tea or water and the seating was reasonably spacious and comfortable. It was a perfect meal we are hoping to repeat soon.

We had a wonderful meal here last night. The quality of what comes out from the kitchen is top notch. The wine list is very well curated and the bottle Nick helped us to decide on paired beautifully with our dishes. We continue to travel through various regions of Italy and it is a delight to be able to experience a genuine expression of the cuisine back here in the bay area. Unfortunately they don't have a San Francisco outpost.

Good but a bit overpriced. Food is great but I was surprised that they didn't bring bread. Usually in the Italian restaurant they give you a bread and olive oil with vinegar

EVERYTHING was exceptional. My brother took me for my birthday and we are obsessively picky. I lived in Italy for over 35 years and I've never tasted a better Gnocchi with Ragù. The desserts were all heavenly. I made myself stop eating so I could bring some home and repeat the experience in the privacy of own home! Lol. Bravi!

Marin County is fortunate to have a number of top-flight Italian restaurants, so it is difficult to pick one as being the best, but Il Davide is definitely on the short list. Very popular downtown San Rafael location conveniently located next to a parking garage. Friendly staff, delicious food reasonable prices. They cheerfully accommodate special requests for medical diets, vegans, etc. Weekend nights are busy so be sure to make reservations.

Great food, wonderful suggestions from the wait staff. They were so attentive. My water glass was never empty the entire meal. They even split the meals for us that we wanted to share.

Service was excellent but I expected more in food quality. The shrimp scampi ($23) was spot on, but the Sea Bass special (about $40) did not make the mark. It was fairly bland. The accompanying bed of polenta was nicely done, and they have a decent wine list. I'd go back for a second try given the opportunity.

Wish I could give it 4.5. Ate here twice in one month. First visit the food and service was five stars. Second time food wasn't quite as good and our waitress was not very friendly or attentive. Very unfortunate.

Ate here as a party of three...hadn't been here in a while and forgot how good the food is. We were there on a Saturday night and it was jammed so they put us in a table for 2. It was a good thing we had a shelf near our table as we couldn't fit our dinner plates and appetizer serving plates on the table at the same time.Anyway, on with the food: Highly recommend:BRUSCHETTA AL POMODOROCAVOLETTI DI BRUXELLESFETTUCCINE VIAREGGIOIL DAVIDE CIOPPINO

I cant express how awesome and delicious this place was. The outdoor seating is very nice and everything we tried on the menu was delicious. We shared the burrata then we ordered the chicken parm - pic below - and a scallop dish. Fun atmosphere and a great choice for date night.

I had the Salmon with polenta & veggies; it was excellent. Did not have dessert, but did have a lattee & that was good too. We had about 12 in our party & no complaints. Good service, good location, with a parking lot next door. Lunch time caters to a business crowd. Would be too pricey for me to go often, even though I wish I could.

Good Italian food thats more modern than you'll find in a place with a red and white checked tablecloth sporting Chianti in a woven basket. There's some street parking and a parking garage behind the business.

Questions & Answers

Not that I know of, but you could start here, then pop over to The Fenix if it is open.

They don't have parking, but there is a parking lot right next to it at very reasonable rates.

Call, they are but it's just been depending on the air quality outside. They have outdoor dining during the day & evening, just freaking love it there.

You can enter the parking garage on A street, right next to the restaurant.

Call the old fashioned way.
