Fillmore Trattoria

We had an excellent experience dining here. As a vegetarian, I’m always curious if an Italian place has good veg options. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and I thought it was excellent. I loved the crispy edges and thought the sauce was so fresh. My friends had the two types of gnocchi and they were both awesome too.

For an Italian place.. this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The pasta sauce tasted like it may have contained prego, as it didn’t taste homemade. I literally saw the cooks pouring in boxes of De Cecco.. and saw tons more boxes of that pasta on the shelf in the kitchen. To top off my poor experience.. the pasta was undercooked and gummy. If you’re looking for good pasta and a good Italian restaurant, I would suggest you go elsewhere. Overall, I was very disappointed in my expensive meal compared to quality of food I got for my money. Great atmosphere though.

I liked the settings. Service was good and waiters were nice and friendly. We ordered filet bites, Zucchini Carpaccio, Potato Croquettes, Bombolotti Sugo di Carne, Linguini Prawns Fra Diavolo lamb chops. Filet bites tasted the best out of all the foods that we ordered. The rest tasted just ok, nothing to make us come back again.

An excellent Italian restaurant in Slubtown of Portland Oregon. I have bee coming here for sometime. The food here is excellent their menu includes many dishes of pasta, meat and fish. Menus items on the many have good variety unlike many other Italian restaurants in Portland. Their service is really good, this is the only restaurant in Portland that I don’t have to pour wine myself. (I find very odd that I have to pour wine to my glass myself when a bottle of wine is ordered. So far other establishments do not even try to pour their customers’ glass.) My pet peeve here. Anyway I don’t have to pour myself. The appetizer is always good, I had a gnocchi, was so good, my husband has a lamb, desert was yummy. I will be returning here for many more times.

This was a delicious dinner. We had the fried goat cheese, lamb gnoochi, and new York strup. All were well balanced and good portions. Alex was so helpful and knowledgeable. Wonderful first visit, we'll definitely be back! Also they had air-conditioning huge plus in this heat wave!!

Service was great! The restaurant was nice. The food was okay. Nothing unpalatable. The eggplant parmigiana was ok. The chicken in the chicken parmesan with mushrooms was over cooked. Eggplant for eggplant parmigiana should be sliced thinner and or have the water drawn out with salt better. It felt under done because it was too thick or had too much water in it, maybe a little under cooked, too. Red sauce was great. The tiramisu was also ok. I would take away the chocolate pieces and improve the mascarpone cream. Didn't really taste espresso or coffee in it. The lady fingers were more soggy when they should be a syrupy. Prices were a little crazy for the quality. From a Brooklyn / NJ gal.

Let me start by saying the food is perfect, absolutely delicious. Service is also fantastic. I'm giving a 4 only because I have to remove a star for wheelchair accessibility. The ramp is fairly steep, they don't have parking so you might have to park around the block, and the hallway for the bathroom is narrow, bathroom is single occupant and that's a bonus for me it did have space but could only fit a slim wheelchair through the door.

We dined here on Sunday night August 18. It was a beautiful summer evening. We ate on the patio. The place had a nice romantic vibe. Lots of couples having a nice time. Our server, Emma, was very nice. We started with the the bruschetta and insalata Verdura. The bruschetta was pretty good but the salad was so bland. My mother makes better salad dressing than that. My husband had the prawns Verdura. It was very good. I had eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was delicious, but there was no sauce on the linguini. I thought that was strange so I asked for sauce. I waited 5 minutes or so and Emma came by to ask if I had received the sauce. I said no. She went over to the kitchen, asked for sauce and had to stand there and wsit for a good 2 minutes for someone to hand her sauce. They weren't very busy. We thought this was peculiar. I don't know if they were short handed or what. Their sauce was good by the way. Not sure if we'll go back. We just felt sorry for Emma, so we tipped her well.
