"Wife and I were out for lunch, roaming around downtown San Rafael and off the main drags were a number of small restaurants. Among them was Il Davide David's), so we took a sidewalk table and had a very pleasant time. Turns out that Il Davide has been there for 22 years. We can understand why. Yes it was lunch, but when I saw others drinking a Manhattan, I joined them. It was a Templeton Manhattan $16)and was excellent. Great little small plates, salads, pastas, fish, meats...come on...it is Italian and very much so with the pasta hand made in house and the preparations done with excellent sauces. Yummmm. Wife had Torta de Porri $12) which was garlic-infused custard, leek mushroom tart with a sweet crust truffle oil. She would not share. I went for calmari fritti $17), thinking that fried calamari would be a simple appitizer kind of lunch and found myself attacking a mound of fried squid. It was soooo good. Two hours later we left...satisfied, and went home for a nap. Think about it."
