A word from Il Davide

Voted "Best Italian Restaurant in Marin" by Pacific Sun readers and Marin favorite over 16 years! Chef David Haydon has created an ambitious menu selection that includes house made pastas, salads, natural meats, sustainable fish and small plates with a contemporary and classic style. We have… always supported local and organic farmers and producers. Il Divide’s Wine Spectator award winning wine list and full spirit bar and lounge add to the casual elegant and warm atmosphere, making for a great meeting place with family and friends. Best parking in Marin County! See you there!Continued

"Love Il Davide! Consistently excellent food and service. The menu is fantastic - interesting and extensive. I could go every night for a month and try something different each time. I really appreciate this - I don't like limited menus. Four entree options for dinner is not enough! Thanks for the wonderful dining experiences Il Davide!"
