Order and pay at the counter. Ask for suggestions - the ones they gave us were awesome! Find a place to sit and they bring your lunch and drinks to you. We opted inside (reallly loud) but nowhere outside in the shade left. Both the turkey and the muffuletta were so good. The bread and topping were very fresh! They recommended a Aperol Spritz for the sunny day and it was so perfect for a hot afternoon. Had to get the molasses ginger cookie - my favorite! Also very fresh and flavorful. Will be back! read more

Sebastiano's is a fabulous find tucked into a vibrant courtyard in Sellwood. The shop is adorable and has a warm, inviting vibe. There are approximately a dozen seating areas inside. Each table accommodates 2-5 people, though some seating may be snug. You can also find courtyard seating outside, some with umbrellas, some in the sun. At Sebastiano's, you place an order at the counter; you get a number, and they bring it to you. They have a nice variety of sandwiches, though I must admit I'm disappointed they don't offer mortadella. They also have some soups, salads, and desserts. I ordered the Il Classico, and my hubby ordered the Jim Jonke. We also ordered a lemon cookie to enjoy after our sandwiches. Both of our sandwiches were delicious. As much as I love arugula, I think the Il Classico could use one more slice of ham (I think there were two slices) and less arugula, which was piled nearly 1" thick, taking up much of the room. The focaccia was a flavorful canvas for the sandwich. The lemon cookie (made with olive oil) was tender and bright with flavor. It was a nice, sweet treat to cap off the meal. read more

Quality spot for sure. The sandwiches (though quite pricey) are really good. I've tried a few so far, a couple classic menu options and a couple specials, all have been great. The rainbow cookies and olive oil cake are excellent. I'd love to see a couple more side dish options. Definitely a place we come back to when we're in the neighborhood. read more

Really enjoyed their sandwiches!! Lots of housemade breads - focaccia and pastries along with seasonal rotations that are great! Their sandwiches are Italian classics and are perfect for a summer lunch in Portland. Sandwiches are generous in size and loaded with toppings. Interior is charming and homey, fits the vibe of Sellwood, modern but has a rustic charm. Sebastiano's is lovely and I'm so glad to have found them in Portland! read more

A super cool Italian sandwich spot. Lots of seatings inside and out. Love the colorful decors and staffs were super friendly as well. We tried the Turkey Foccacia and the Sebastiano Mufaletta. Both were tasty. Their deli ingredients were super high quality. The mufaletta bread was kinda dense though, definitely prefer the foccacia one. Radicchio Salad was a great side for the sandwiches. The marinated olives and beans were our favorite parts of it. Would get those alone next time. read more

Visiting my buddy in Sellwood from Los Angeles. I come up to Portland annually. He mentioned that he'd "been wanting to try this place but hadn't yet." We stopped by and were amazed. The ingredients were so fresh and blended together like a symphony of flavor! I'm heading back to California soon, but my buddy will be a steady customer going forward. read more

Italian deli? Not your classic version of such a thing but ultra tasty Italian food non the less. Think of a more upscale version of an Italian market. The breakfast options are top level. The sandwich is incredible and the breakfast potatoes are a unique switch up to your traditional hash brown. I've had a classic sandwich from here as well. An elevated version of an Italian sandwich. They offer all sorts of side dishes and pasta salads and such. The most unique thing about this place is the pastry options. You go to a place where you can get an elite sandwich and an elite pasty. Top level stuff here (4.7 Stars) read more

What an adorable little neighborhood spot!! I stopped in for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty busy but we were able to find indoor seating without a problem. They have a cute little outdoor area too, which must be great when the weather cooperates. It's got a cute Italian (Sicilian) vibe going on with a menu full of sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts. I immediately went for a sandwich because they have house made focaccia bread and chips! The Turkey and Trapanese Pesto was calling my name. It had roast turkey, provolone, Sicilian almond-tomato pesto, pickled red onions, arugula, sun-dried tomato aioli, and that beautiful focaccia bread. It's a large portion and initially I didn't think I could finish it, but I found the space. Everything worked well together and you could tell it was hand crafted with care. I took home a chocolate chip, ginger molasses, and lemon sugar cookie. They are all made with olive oil and were all delicious! My family really enjoyed these! This is a perfect little neighborhood spot for a quality breakfast or lunch. read more

This is absolutely the definition of a gourmet sandwich shop! Fresh takes on everything you can put between two slices of fresh breads baked daily in-house. They have lots of vegetarian options. Our group picked up to go but they have a nice indoor and outdoor dining area. We ordered the "Herby white bean veggie Sando", the "Melanzane (eggplant) Muffuletta, the "Asparagus and herby ricotta sando" and the "Turkey provolone pesto". All are served with their spicy chips made in house, which were a bit too salty but delicious. The fresh baked focaccia was perfect! When I go back again the Turkey provolone pesto will be my choice! read more

The pictures don't do this place justice. Ordered the tuna sandwich with currants, arugula on focaccia - expecting an average sandwich , but it was packed with flavor and tender creamy chunks of tuna. The focaccia was perfect -slightly crisp and golden on the outside and chewy and semi tender inside. The quality of the focaccia and depth of flavor achieved for a humble tuna sandwich makes it worth the 17 dollar price tag in my book. Vegetarian Arancini - risotto fried ball of wonder stuffed with cheese and artichoke hearts and swimming in a pool of house made red sauce was magical. Good structure and good flavor. The Vegan chocolate chip cookie is my kind of cookie! Chewy and just the right amount of salty and sweet. Molasses cookie - truly a winner, perfectly spiced with the same chewy fresh from the oven texture as his chocolate chip brother. Service - speedy and kind! Beautiful and cozy interior. read more

Some of the softest, fluffiest, best focaccia I've ever had. Love the tuna focaccia sandwich. Well dressed & Just the right size for the price and appetite! Worth the visit every time. read more

Really great place. Everything is just high quality. The bread is freshly baked. The ham, cheese and arugula wasn't the cheap stuff you get at grocery stores. They don't skimp. The chips were also probably made in house. Notably crispy and crunchy. The olive oil bread was also great. Good amount of softness, some sweetness but not too sweet. Nice buttery sort of taste. Which seems odd to say since it's "olive oil" cake, but some olive oils are described as "buttery" as opposed to "fruity" or "peppery". read more

I first tried Sebastiano's at the 2024 Urban Gleaner's Summer Supper. They served a stone fruit salad. It was one of the best salads I've ever had and I was obsessed. I spent the last month trying to recreate it. I finally made it to Sebastiano's today. I was disappointed that they didn't have the stone fruit salad, but we enjoyed delicious sandwiches and an incredible potato salad. read more

Fun quick and good neighborhood cafe, with a good variety of sandwiches and pastry. Easy seating.

How did I not know if this pearl of a hidden gem? I stumbled in on a rainy day to a lively dining area, kind service, and delicious food I had the turkey, pesto, mozzarella focaccia, and it was fantastic read more

I'm giving 3 because the sandwich filling of the Muffaletta Sebastiano was absolutely delicious. Minus the olive oil dripping down my hands. So yummy. The price is too high for the portion for sure. The bread was a bit too dense and had the delicious toppings wanting to slip out the back because of having to bite down so hard on the bread. I've been searching for a delicious cannoli since visiting NYC in 2005. This is not it. The shell is way overly fried, tastes burnt. It should be a light-dark golden, not this dark. The ricotta filling was lumpy and not as airy and way too sweet. My favorite currently is from Nicoletta's Table. I really enjoy the orange zest throughout the filling there. Skip the cannoli & go for a sandwich. Lastly, I did not care for the chips. It felt like too much of the same flavor [very salty] along with the sandwich. A Dill Pickle or something Fresh like a little side salad would really compliment the sandwich better. Or give it as an alternative option. I probably won't be back unless I happen to be in the area, I might try a sandwich with foccacia bread if I do because the other was just too dense. read more

Loved the service, ambiance and the location tucked in the back so it feels like a hidden gem. The arancini special I ordered was perfect for a rainy day, cozy and warm and the best tomato sauce I've ever had. The bite I tried of my husband's sandwich was tasty, crispy chicken and fresh arugula on house made bread. He's a real meat guy so he wanted more chicken but was otherwise satisfied. Fans of lemon will love the bombolone stuffed to the gills with whipped lemon curd but was almost too much filling for me. Kiddo got a brownie dusted with powdered sugar (it has an Italian name that has slipped my mind) and gave it an 8 out of 10. Definitely worth a stop for some chill, family friendly vibes and cozy comfort food read more

We no longer live close enough to Portland to make an easy food-run, like we often used to once upon a time, so we haven't had a chance to eat Sebastiano's Italian food and baked things, which are reported to be and look to be delizioso, at the store but we placed an order for some of their products which they ship. It was as good an experience as one could possibly have for easy ordering and fast fulfillment and everything arrived carefully packed. My husband who is Sicilian on both sides (the owners here also have roots in Sicily) and grew up with his immigrant grandmother in charge of the kitchen in his Brooklyn Italian neighborhood home exclaimed, literally out loud, "My grandmother's biscotti!" when we opened the package. And sure enough, the traditional style made hard enough to benefit from dunking in coffee, espresso or van santo.The mandorle cookies, almond paste based, were also delicious and since I'm not able to eat gluten they worked for me to enjoy them too. If there was a cookie bit of disappointment it is that the Regina cookies, a fav of my hubbys and widely available in the Italian bakeries of his childhood through young adult years, were much smaller than expected based on photos and not at all the same texture that he was used to buying and bakes himself from time to time. Sebastiano's Calabrian chili salt is tasty and has a place on the tray on our kitchen island next to the Jacobsen flake salt. My favorite of the group of things we bought is their marmellata d'arance, orange marmalade of sorts, that is one of the best citrus marmellatas I have ever used, Italian styled, just sweet enough and not bitter like some. I bought two jars and wish I'd bought half a dozen more. This is literally a young "mom n pop" business by a couple who relocated their family from New Jersey (once our stomping grounds too in the early days of our marriage until we were transferred to San Francisco) to open a business in Portland. If you love supporting those kind of entrepreneur efforts, this is a great business to choose. read more

We ate lunch today at Sebastiano's and it was so good! The food was amazing. My husband had the BLT and won't stop talking about it! I had the turkey/provolone/pesto sandwich and it was awesome.

Food is solid. But forcing your customer to 'tip' an automatic 20% so your staff can 'make a living wage' is lazy bookkeeping. It's not even a tip at that point. I propose you do away with tips, and raise the prices by 20% then actually pay your staff a living wage. If I want to tip for great service, I can do so. You're admitting you're not paying your staff enough, and you expect the customer to do it. The typical counter argument will be that you want to keep the prices down, on an already expensive menu. I would argue that it's not sustainable business practice if you can't have it affordable enough for people to want, and be able to pay your staff a living wage. Set the prices to what they need to be, so your staff can have a wage. Then I will decide if I want to pay those menu prices. Thumbs down from me. read more

Spectacular. Sebastiano's is a bit quirky - a small selection of sandwiches, a small selection of prepackaged items (marmalade, olive oil, salt), a small selection of baked goods, and only open at lunchtime 4 days a week (Wed - Sat). Also appearing at the neighborhood farmer's market down the street on Sundays. The good news is that it's completely worth having to remind yourself to check the calendar and the clock to visit these wonderful people. There were two of us on my recent visit. We split that day's sandwich special - a Sebastiano's Hoagie, and it rivalled anything I ever had growing up on the East Coast. We also split a fantastic rustic fruit tart, and each had a wonderfully cold Italian lager. Another of the quirks was walking up to the dutch door out front, checking out the posted menu and the goodies on display in the window, ordering, and then walking out back to the festive patio seating set up in a corner of the parking lot. Not a typical dining experience, but I wouldn't miss it for the world. read more

3.5 stars. The people taking orders at the door on my two visits have been very friendly, they seem like new employees so hope it lasts. The big turnoff is the 20% markup that's mentioned on their site, but not when they swipe the card. At least they don't call it a tip like some entitled places. From a business perspective, the concept is flawed and borderline money grab disguised as something else. That said, the popular eggplant was just okay as was the limited pizza by the slice. The small family Italian vibe and pleasant backyard seating are pluses. The high price points don't match the product so no more visits. However, they seem to be attracting a positive following so I'm happy for them. read more
