Il David's was a discovery made on our way to Lido's Italian film festival. Early dinner was so wonderful, the owner, David, stopped by our outdoor table and visited, he was very kind and personable. We loved the atmosphere there so much that we decided to return for coffee and dessert after the show. The staff was wonderful!! They made our experience at Il Davide so warm and inviting... the food was authentic, comforting and delicious. I would highly recommend this hidden gem of San Raphael. Cin Cin!

The best Italian restaurant in Main and a top pick in the North Bay. David is not only a stellar chef/owner but a community champion.

We had my 80th birthday party at Il Davide last Saturday in the private room. It could not have been nicer! The staff, including our waiter Francisco and the hostess Dina, were wonderful - so kind and helpful. Our food was prompt and delicious. Thank you Il Davide - we will be back!

Came here on a work trip and was feeling seafood. I can see this being a great place to have a dinner date or to celebrate a special occasion. The waiter recommended the Seabass special that had saffron cream sauce and asparagus on top of polenta. The fish was so tender and flaky and the polenta looked almost like an English muffin. It was the perfect portion size and the sauce complemented the fish so well. Highly recommend. I also tried the custard leek appetizer. It looked like a tart with a savory leek filling. My server also thought this was one of the best things on the menu and I have to agree. For dessert, I had the lemon coconut tart, which tasted like a lemon flavored macaroon with that crème brûlée shell topping and lemon curd on the side. It had the texture of a coconut macaroon. The only recommendation I would have for this is to put more lemon flavor in the actual tart. I I would still highly recommend though. Overall, this place was well worth my money. Rarely do I recommend everything I ate, but I can confidently say that everything I had was excellent including the service. My server was top notch.

We had a wonderful dinner last night. Food was amazing and our waiter Brian was just a delight so friendly. Keep up the good work love this place. Lois A

Came here for dinner last night. We ordered the insulate della Davide, which had nice feta cheese, roasted walnuts, and a nice light dressing, overall wonderful. My son loves fresh gnocchi so he ordered the gnocchi di mango with the short rib sauce. The gnocchi was light and airy and the sauce had a nice beefy flavor with pieces of short rib that my son loved. I was going to order the papardelle ai tres funghi but another patron next to us suggested the ravioli with fungi instead. The ravioli was very tasty but the skins were a bit firm for my preference but still overall very good. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu- which was light and airy and had great flavor. The meal began with a nice selection of fresh breads with a ramekin of flavorful olive oil to dip the breads. Overall, great service, great food and nice ambiance. We will be back!

The service was top notch. My waiter was super attentive and extremely knowledgeable on the dishes and how it was prepared. I would definitely recommend eating outside as the indoor dining is loud. The salad portions are large so I highly sharing a salad for an appetizer. The wine list is very deep but make sure you have a backup selected because your first choice might not be available as some of the wines are limited. I loved the pasta here, the mushroom with truffle sauce was delicious and the pasta are made locally so you can definitely taste a difference.

Food-9 Service-9 and entertaining as heck Ambiance-9. Vaulted ceiling! Loved it Tuna carpaccio- 10 I ordered two! Caesar salad with scallops- big ones -10!!!!

Called a few days before to book a Saturday reservation and they said they were super booked up and only had an 8:30pm slot so we took it! My party of 4 was seated a few minutes before. Ambience was very nice and had an upscale fancy vibe. For small plates, we shared the brasatto (braised short rib over butternut squash polenta), carpaccio di manzo (raw Kobe beef), and calamari fritti. These were ok, none stood out that much. For the calamari, the breading was soft and slid off the calamari and shrimp when you picked it up, which made it hard to dip into sauces and eat. For entrees, we shared the truffle ravioli, linguine alla vongole, and piccata di vitello (veal). Veal was ok - not super tender and the veggies and scalloped potatoes that came with it weren't anything special. Linguine was pretty good and we liked that they were generous with the clams. Truffle ravioli was definitely the highlight. It had amazing flavor and loved the creaminess of the dish. Would definitely get the truffle ravioli again - it was easily the star of the show. Complimentary bread and olive oil. Wine was a good price. For dessert, we got creme brulee and it was pretty good. Service was great, food came out quickly, portions were generous on the entrees. Docking off the star due to the small plates, but overall I think it's worth trying this restaurant.

An easy 5 star review! *Very accommodating staff that worked as a team *Easy walking distance from nearby hotels *Excellent choices on the menu-very high quality and taste fantastic (Taste like grandmaw cooked it) Don't miss out on this! I highly recommend. Go see for yourself.
