Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Millbrae

I've had this place on my short list for awhile but was worried about reviews that said the space was tight and loud. My group and I found it exceptional in every way. The size was intimitate but didn't feel crowded. We loved the high ceilings and design of the space. The menu was varied and had fun options you don't see everywhere. The food was exceptional and they have a full bar. Back to Back is an exciting new addition to the SF dining scene and we will be back often!

The charcuterie was amazing. They cure all meats on the premises. The server was great about helping us choose our selections. The drinks were delicious although slightly expensive. We had a terrific meal.

Simply the best Italian food on the peninsula hands-down 🍷🍷

Amazing food the service was great I love all Rise locations

Great service, beautiful ambience and delicious food. We had some of our favorites - the Petrale Sole Piccata, homemade Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli, sides of broccoli and the mixed roasted vegetables, homemade rigatoni pasta and the Spumoni Bomba for dessert. Everything was great!!
