    The food was DELICIOUS!!!! Every dish that we ordered was outstanding. Went there for a friend’s birthday dinner, it was 5 of us. We ordered the focaccia which was divine, also the suppli which my gosh was out of this world. Then we got 3 different pastas: caramelle which had a tangy citrus oily sauce and the pasta filled with veggies just melted in your mouth. The gnocchi with truffle and Parmesan and I can say it was probably the BEST gnocchi I’ve had in a long time plus they were super generous with the truffle so HIGHLY recommend this dish. And lastly we got the Bigoli Nero which was exquisite and probably my favorite dish, and the Dungeness crab meat tasted super fresh. We also got the chicory pizza which was probably my least favorite dish as it didn’t wow me. It was tasty but nothing special about it. And for dessert we got the Tiramisu which didn’t disappoint. It was fresh, tasty, moist and the flavors well balanced. The service was A+ from the host which accommodated us to a table of 5 even when my resy was for 4 so that was amazing! To the servers who were super friendly and attentive, to the sommelier.

    My meal at Jackson Fillmore Trattoria was excellent. The service was friendly and professional. We had an asparagus, mushroom and prosciutto appetizer that was amazing, along with an order of Calamari, which was simple but good. My table mates had pastas for their main course, which they each said was excellent. One even asked for a special order of pasta- which they gladly accommodated. I had the Chicken Noci, which I had once before, and it was better than ever. We shared the warm and cold Zabaione desserts which were both unique and amazing. They also have a nice wine selection. Another great meal at Jackson Fillmore Trattoria.

    Not just for pizza! The eggplant parm was excellent, as was the Pomodoro pasta...fresh & well sauced. 1 meatball for 3 of us to taste and it was good, too!
