Fillmore Trattoria is our favorite dining experience in Portland. We have eaten there for 8 years on our visits to Portland. It is truly where the locals eat. The Food is excellent and Spencer and Emma are wonderful cooks and hosts. I highly recommend eating there.

Inconsistant IMO HALF OF THE MEAL was good and the other half was meh. Portions were small for the price. Clams and muscles very small portion, french fries (1/2 crispy and 1/2 soggy), Brussel sprouts were the best, and main course Carbonara was very good. Drinks and service were good with the fresh squeezed lemonade a huge hit. One big drawback for me was how uncomfortable the dining chairs were in the dining area. The worst i've tried to sit in any restaurant anywhere. Wanted to leave almost one minute of sitting down.. Yes they are that bad. Hard and not comfortable on your back..

This is our first time there. Super cute building -very cozy. Everyone that worked there was super kind. The food was delicious. We got the goat cheese and calamari- they were great starters. Then we got scallops and seafood fra diavolo. Absolutely delicious. Lastly, we got the kettle chip dulce de leche ice cream for dessert and that was really good too. If you like fresh brewed iced tea, their iced tea is really good too. We are definitely coming back. This is a great spot for a date night!

The food was excellent. The service was nice and the people there were personable. Clearly it's a local place where many patrons knew the service folks. We'll go back for sure. We had a reservation at 7:30 and got seated about 15 minutes late, but were offered drinks while we waited. When we were leaving, the chef came to the door to thank us and apologized to us for the brief wait. Appetizers, main meal and dessert were tasty!

Food was pricey, but good. Service was slow and didn't check on us enough. I had to flag down a waitress to get another drink. People also got complimentary appetizers that we never received. I'm unsure if it's due to them being busy, or us ordering an appetizer, but to see other tables get it and we didn't was disappointing. Overall good food, but unsure if I'll be back.

Delicious food -- we had the steak bites as an appetizer (very tender) and loved the seafood dishes. This is a restaurant with a sense of community, where the owners and staff know the customers. It is a true neighborhood gem.
This was such a nice treat for my wife and I on Valentine's day! Special menu was outstanding & the service was superb...we can hardly wait for our next ' special occasion' in order to return to Trattoria!

Fabulous food and great service. Eight of us dined on Saturday night and the restaurant was packed. Ordered the meatballs and the stuffed mushrooms to share....delicious! Had a variety of entrees all yummy. Go! You won't be disappointed.

Fillmore Trattoria is one of my favorite restaurants! The food is wonderful and the staff is very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is not large and feels intimate. In all of Portland - Fillmore has the best eggplant parmesan which is my go to order. And everything that I have tasted has been terrific.

Wonderful birthday dinner at Fillmore! Amazing and tasty food. Rigatoni Speck was incredible and the croquettes were so delicious.
Came in for the day to shop for books. First time we have eaten here and we will be back for sure. Some of the best Italian we have had. Good too prices for the quality of food they serve.
I celebrated New Year's Eve at Fillmore Trattoria with their special NYE's menu and wine pairing. Each course was done so well and the wine that was paired with it fit the course. I didn't want the meal to end. You deserve to treat yourself to a meal or two here!!!

Gnocchi was so, so good! Everything was wonderful though. Had a real neighborhood vibe, even on a holiday. The 25% added gratuity kind of took the magic out of making that decision for ourselves, but it was NYE. Would love to check it out in the summer!

Had our family Christmas dinner a party of eight. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions for all including a couple of kids who were able to order food not listed on the menu but was kid friendly. The food was delicious, I would highly recommend the burrata appetizer and bruschetta as well. The location is slightly off the beaten path but still a good place.
