The Best Italian Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland | Eater Portland
"In a house tucked away from NW 23rd Avenue, Fillmore Trattoria remains a Portland destination for Italian American homestyle cooking. Start with the crowd-pleasing fried goat cheese balls and ask about the daily pasta special. On the regular menu, go classic with familiar favorites like rigatoni in a sausage and tomato sauce (just like how Nonna would make it) and eggplant Parmigiana. A shortlist of wines by the glass is available, but it’s wise to select a bottle from the list of reds hailing from Piedmont, Tuscany, and southern Italy." - Eater Staff
