[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is just perfect for a date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They aren't open during the day and not open very late but it's honestly a privilege to eat here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For what it is, it's small but it somehow feels like home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I had our wedding reception here back in 2019 and everytime we come here, the food is just great. I normally don't comment on the staff unless the service is genuinely bad but the staff is basically the owners, a few cooks and maybe 1 or 2 waitresses. The staff is so kind they make you feel like you're a VIP when you come in the first time, then if you come back and they recognize you, you are like family. Maybe a little biased take, but I definitely believe this place deserves a look read more

Food - Amazing. No complaints whatsoever. The portions were perfect and the tastes were all on point - perfectly seasoned. Service - A little stiff when we first arrived. We purposely arrived early to enjoy a glass of wine at the bar and the hostess was very thrown off by that. Once we got to the table the service was wonderful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: Lighting was just dim enough. The live music wasn't too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We are already planning our next visit. read more

It kind of reminds me of Italy because even though there are open tables it still takes time to sit. I think there was only one server so it took time to get a drink and more time to order. On to the food. The bread, although room temperature, was very nice. The salad on the other hand was not very special and they forgot salt and pepper ... finally the food arrived 27 minutes later. The shrimp Florentin - very well cooked but zero salt. Meatballs with 12 hour meat sauce. The meatballs were not good; dry and rubbery. The pasta and meat sauce is pretty good. Nice place to visit not a place to frequent read more

Food excellent , [[HIGHLIGHT]]cozy romantic atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and top notch staff , runs business like everyone is family. 10/10

What a find!!! I found this place on Yelp and looked at the menu. The second that I saw homemade gnocchi on the menu, I knew I had to try it and it did NOT disappoint. I did the build your own pasta with gnocchi, creamy pesto, Italian sausage, roasted red peppers and asparagus. It was so good I think I danced in my seat the whole meal. ((Also, free bread - can't go wrong there!)) The waitress was very attentive and nice, even though she had multiple tables all at once. It's a quiet little restaurant in an unassuming strip mall, but don't drive by this one ! read more

Once again, Chef Jon and Sarah provided a great meal and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was full, but everything was done timely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's hard not to like any of the pasta dishes. Don't hesitate to try this local, family owned restaurant. read more

I love this place. It's in a very unassuming location in a strip mall off near the BMV on Heatherdowns in Toledo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you walk in you'll know it's a good it's got a great local vibe cozy like a classic Italian restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wine, cocktails and food are special. It's always delicious and the service feels like a very cool family restaurant which it is. Great for parties, dates, etc. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Nestled inside a strip mall sits delightful Italian restaurant. I highly recommend the chicken piccata. It's perfect: the salt, acid, fat ratio is spot on. The bread was soft & warm. The wine is still being sold at reasonable prices($6 Sauvignon Blanc) . I enjoyed my Caesar salad, and noted that they use almond shavings instead of croutons, which is a really nice touch that I haven't had before. This is a great place to enjoy some solid Italian restaurants menu staples. The service was excellent. read more

I'm sorry but this is not a place I will go a second time. Was very excited to try with my wife. The spinach artichoke pesto app was good. I sent back my butternut squash soup, no taste and too thin. My lasagna felt like a very good frozen entree. My wife's shrimp Florentine was just bad. Good service.

Went there for the first time this past Friday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was great, service was great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they even had entertainment which made our evening special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One small issue, they only have one domestic beer, Miller Lite. There are many other choices. My husband found Fat Tire and he very much enjoyed that. read more

Friends weekend. There were four of us for dinner. OMG... it was absolutely fabulous. The service was phenomenal. Everyone exclaimed that their meal was the best. The food is freshly made. Mine was the chicken and peas with hazelnut cream sauce. I'm not a fan of peas... but in this instance...FABULOUS. Fresh, fresh, and fresh. I'm sitting here at the table listening to an acoustic guitar and singer. It's a great setting for a peaceful meal and calming music. read more

Oh my goodness... what a hidden gem. Homemade food - delicious from every bite. Service is great from when you step in to when you step out of the building. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful little place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So glad we came here tonight. Totally worth the wait if there is one! read more

What an amazing family-owned business serving tried and true Italian recipes. It can sometimes be difficult to get in the door for dinner as they're oftentimes very busy, but you know it's good (and everybody else knows it's good also). read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent food, exceptional service from beginning to end, and inviting ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] "Our waitress gave an outstanding performance during our visit. The restaurant was busy, but she handled our large table of five with incredible poise. Instead of using a notepad, she took everyone's orders--including all the custom modifications--from memory. When the food arrived, every single dish was perfectly correct. It was an impressive and memorable display of professionalism. A big shout out to the staff for having such dedicated and talented servers!". read more

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant!! The food is always so creamy and full of flavor! I'm also a big bread person and they have some of the BEST!! My go to meal is the chicken Marsala, but I've truly never had anything that I've disliked. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We only go with a reservation as we know they are often fully booked. We also love ordering the family meals when they are available! Don't miss an opportunity to try this restaurant if you are in the Toledo area - they are the greatest! :) read more

By far one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been too. I've been wanting to visit for half a year and it's COVID lessening, decided to do so. I splurged and got a $7 glass of wine (not bad!) and an app, entree, and desert. App: the bruschetta is amazing! Bread is served warm and so is the tomatoes - so so soooo good. I loved the flavor of it and not having to worry about soggy bread if I didn't eat it fast enough. The meat sauce pasta - wow! One of the best pasta dishes I've ever had! You know how some Italian places skimp on the sauce, like barely a drizzle and you have to pay for "extra sauce" to actually enjoy flavor? Even if you scoop a ton of the meat sauce with your noodles, you will still have some left over. I added the veal& beef meatballs for $6 and it was WELL worth it. Desert was the cannoli cake. Now, by this point I was actually pretty full, but I i just chilled at the table and slowly worked on it - every bite was excellent, and not very heavy either after such a heavy meal. Great atmosphere. Piano in the corner but no one was playing when I was there. Nice dim lighting but still bright enough to take good food photos (lol). Great service. I can't wait to return!!!!!! read more

When I travel, I try to stay away from chains and support local family businesses. This one was fantastic! I was a bit skeptical when I pulled up but there was definitely no need.

We had a very nice meal here last night. We sampled specialty martinis, several pasta dishes and bruschetta. It was all delicious. The service was super; attentive and competent and friendly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is smaller, cozy and charming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you for a nice evening. read more

This place is a hidden gem in what looks like a rundown shopping strip. The food and service were both stellar! It can be on the pricier side but is definitely worth it since everything is made fresh and to order. An added bonus is that this place is locally run and is not part of a national chain. read more

Last minute decision to dine at this restaurant and it was not a mistake! We had to wait for a little bit since they are a smaller family owned business and can only handle so much volume, but they were nice in working to fit us in with their already full reservation list. It is worth the wait though with the food being fantastic and some of the best Italian in the area. The warm bruschetta and ciabatta bread was the best I have ever had. You cannot go wrong with their classic 12 hour meat sauce and make sure to try the sweet potato cheesecake. read more

We had a reservation here and showed up 15 minutes late. They had given away our table and couldn't seat us. I understand giving away our table, as we were late, but they could have given us a courtesy of a call. read more

This place is pretty underwhelming. I ordered the Italian wedding soup and it was brought out in the most shallow bowl in existence. I swear there were three bites of soup. I believe it was 8 or 9 dollars. The spaghetti was good but nothing to write home about. Won't be returning. read more

"We really should eat here more often." That's what my family says after every visit to Sebastiano's Italiano. Sebastiano's ISN'T Babbo, but then again, no Italian restaurant in Toledo is. Sebastiano's IS a very nice, family oriented, family owned and operated restaurant that features very good Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable, but this isn't where I'd come for a romantic date (it's bright in here...your pupils may be contracted...your date will think you hate her/him). I also wouldn't come here for a quick bite (it's a wee bit pricy), but I'd definitely come here, as a couple, with the kids in tow. It's hard to beat the pasta. I've tried several of the BYOP (build your own pasta) options, as well as the lasagna, and the ravioli. I've never been disappointed. BEER: There's no draft beer, but, I did appreciate the freshly canned options from a South Toledo hot spot, Earnest Brew Works. Sorry, there's no 'Gennesse' on tap...hence the one star review from one of Toledo's finest yelpers. There is a full bar, and I've heard good things about their cocktails (from my wife). Wine? There's plenty...I really should take some time to learn wine. Sebastiano's has everything that I look for in a family restaurant...easy 4 stars. The extra star is to compensate for the dipshit who went low without even trying the food. Again, "We really should eat here more often." read more

Good food, HORRIBLE service. Like the worst I have ever gotten at a restaurant ever. Came in last night at 6:10pm, early for our reservation. I was so excited to take my partner here because I have enjoyed Sebastiano's on many occasions and thought it was a great restaurant. We were not dressed to the nines, both wearing jeans and a sweat shirt, and I'm not sure if that is why we were treated so poorly or if it is because we are a young couple, but it definitely makes sense. We did not get greeted by our server for at least 20 minutes, and by the time she got to us, we were ready to order. I ordered a cocktail with my meal, and my partner ordered a soda. 30 minutes later after taking care of everyone in the dining room except us, our server (who never even introduced herself or said welcome to the restaurant or anything) walks past us, sees me looking at her, and goes "oh, your drink will be put shortly!" I look at the clock. It's 6:40. I definitely dont want a drink I ordered 30 minutes ago. Then she brings out my partner's soda that we completely forgot that we had ordered because it had been so long. The place is nice, the food was good, and I wish I could have been treated better. I would have tipped well over 20% if our server had deserved it. We probably won't be back considering our server was taking very good care of everyone else in the dining room except us- including a family that had children running around. Nice. read more

The Best & I mean the best authentic Italian food. I am a black, Mexican, Italian that's been around the world & hands down I've never had Italian taste so well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service & ambiance is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For yrs I've trying to eat at this place & I always forget about it until 2 weeks ago. I can't stop going there. I'm so glad they're not open for lunch cause I swear I'd be there everyday. Thank you owners for amazing food. read more

On a recent drive from Rochester, NY to Racine, WI we were in the Maumee, OH area at dinner time and decided to eat at Sebastiano's. This was our 3rd or 4th meal thee and it didn't disappoint. Because we were traveling, our dinner reservation needed to be a little flexible. When it became obvious we would be 45 minutes early they adjusted our reservation with not hassle. The food was as delicious as always - and plentiful. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. This place is not fancy, and it is not a dive. It is just a comfortable eatery with good food and service - we will definitely be back again. read more

Ate at Sebastiano's a few times while in Toledo for an extended work trip. It was so good we just kept coming back! Servers were very friendly, and the food was excellent. Loved the appetizer mussels, and the salads with added anchovies were perfect. I'd recommend this restaurant to anybody visiting Toledo. read more

Food very good. Service polite and very pleasant and professional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance lively and happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Was in town for a baseball tournament, always try to find local places to eat. Found this one and figured I would give it a try since I was the only one eating. Apparently they only take reservations? Don't see this anywhere on their website, Apple Maps, or yelp? Sign on door says Last seating is at 9:00 on Saturdays. It's 7:35. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining room was 1/2 full, bar was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was told they already seated their last reservation? So could be good? But I will never know. read more

Don't let the quiet strip mall vibe fool you, this place is a gem from start to finish. Some of the friendliest staff I've interacted with in ages. The food was amazing with every course and bite. I had the lasagna and enjoyed it a lot. The fresh bread may have been my favorite part. Looking forward to going back again. read more

Delicious food consistentlyand fabulous service! We love the owners who are local and feel like family when we go there!

We randomly found this restaurant on a recent visit to the area and were very pleasantly impressed! Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. It seemed like the place was full of "regulars"! The Shrimp Florentine and Lasagna were great! If I lived in the area... I could see this being a frequent stop! read more

AMAZING food, super kind staff, relaxing vibe and the owner is very friendly, would 100% come back over and over again! :)

After a 600 mile drive we asked the hotel clerk for a good Italian restaurant and were directed here. We are 3 New Yorkers who are very particular and we each had only praise for our meals. We must leave the Maumee/Toledo area but for you lucky enough to be local don't miss this place. Sebastiano's is clean, cozy, and with a friendly atmosphere. read more
