EVERYTHING ABOUT Fillmore Trattoria is decidedly Old Portland: the menu isn't pretentious; the electric guitars on the wall were hung by the ponytailed chef/owner; and the glass of decent Italian red is just $7. Except this is a San Francisco import.
What a difference a few years makes for this former home to Noisette and then to Le Vieux, which was a short-lived effort from another set of Bay Area transplants. But a hometown is about the only thing that Le Vieux and Fillmore Trattoria share.
