As if Italian was not confusing enough already with its prepositions for going to places, the preposition da provides an extra level of complication.
Use this preposition when you are going to a friend or family member's home, the mechanic, the doctor's office and a few other places.
Here are some common examples:
dall'avvocato to the lawyer's office
dal dentista to the dentist/dentist's office
da Maria to Maria's (house)
da me/te/lui/lei at my/your/his/her house
da noi/voi/loro at our/your/their house
dal meccanico to the mechanic's
dal medico to the doctor/doctor's office
dallo zio at my uncle's (house)
