Jackson Fillmore Trattoria

This is my first time at the restaurant, and I did enjoy the total experience overall. Of all the meals I enjoyed mine the tortellini in cream sauce the least, as it was a little too rich for my taste, and bordered on being salty. My other dining companion had tortellini and pesto sauce, which I thought was good, but she thought it was a bit too grainy for her. My partner had linguine Pescatore which was very good. The bruschetta they serve complementary at the beginning of the meal was delicious and we also had the antipasto salad and calamari, which was also stellar. I would come back here to try some of their other dishes. The Server did not tell us about the specials and we ended up seeing them by happenstance over the bar on the glass mirror and it would’ve been nice to have known them even though we wouldn’t have ordered those particular ones for the evening.

Everything about this place is meh. Which is a pity because it could be a lot better with minimal effort, but it seems to run on autopilot. It’s a cozy little neighborhood place. But the service was very indifferent. Our server never bothered to tell us about their specials, and we had to ask for a wine list. Really guys? This is how you make money FFS. We had a flavorless plate of calamari with a lump of tasteless lard that I think was supposed to be aioli. The main courses were fine if not spectacular. The server never came by to see if we needed anything. The prices were fine for what you got; no complaints there. Overall I don’t think we’ll be back as it as all so indifferent and there are better choices nearby, like Chouquets. Just blah.

No other restaurant is more consistent than Jackson Fillmore. The food is amazing and the chefs and staff are tremendous. Everything you could want in your neighborhood Italian restaurant is offered here. Hands down my favorite.

Loved the experience and most importantly the food. We sat at the bar. Had very good wine and an amazing dinner (I had the Sugo). The portions were perfect and the dessert (tiramisu) was excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Loved it!

Great local Italian restaurant been there for 40 years
