Sebastiano's' is a Sicilian delicatessen, bakery, and market in Portland, Oregon's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood, in the United States. Established in 2020, the business previously operated in the Montavilla neighborhood.

Description

[edit]

Sebastiano's is a Sicilian delicatessen and bakery in southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood. Previously, the business operated in the southeast Portland part of the Montavilla neighborhood.[1] It has served arancini,[2] focaccia,[3] muffuletta,[4][5] pizzas, sandwiches, meats, cheese, cannoli,[6] cuccidati,[7] and wine, and the Italian market[8] has stocked staples like farro,[9] olive oil, pesto,[10] and sauces.[11] Other desserts have included brownies, cookies, and olive oil cake.[12] The deli has also served granita.[13]

History

[edit]

Inspired by a trip to Sicily,[14] Daniel and Elise Gold opened Sebastiano's on June 2, 2020,[6][5] in the space that previously housed Heartbreaker Neighborhood Kitchen.[11] The couple announced plans to launch a food cart for weekend operation in the deli's parking lot in 2021.[6] The food cart Aperitivo Sebastiano began operating in May.[15][16] Sebastiano's has been a vendor at the neighborhood's Thursdays on the Plaza market.[17]

For Thanksgiving in 2021, Sebastiano's collaborated with Dimo's Apizza on a takeout dinner.[18] In 2022, Daniel Gold testified at a hearing, urging Portland City Council to extend the cap on fees third-party delivery apps can charge restaurants.[19][20]

In 2024, the business relocated to Sellwood-Moreland.[1] The business began operating in the new space on March 7.[21]

Reception

[edit]

In 2022, writers included the Eggplant Muffuletta in Portland Monthly's list of the city's eleven best sandwiches.[22] The magazine's Karen Brooks and Katherine Chew Hamilton included the business in an "opinionated guide to Portland's best bakeries", in which they said "the cannoli are the best in town".[23] Brooks also included Sebastiano's in Portland Monthly's 2022 list of "our favorite patios for drinking and soaking up sun".[24]

Brooke Jackson-Glidden included Sebastiano's in Eater Portland's 2021 lists of "ideal Portland spots to load up on picnic supplies" and fifteen eateries "where you can also buy your groceries".[9][8] The website's Alex Frane included the business in a 2022 list of fifteen "stellar" Italian restaurants in Portland.[25] He and Nathan Williams included Sebastiano's in a 2022 overview of recommended eateries in Montavilla,[26] and Michelle Lopez and Jackson-Glidden included the business in a 2022 list of "outstanding" bakeries in the Portland metropolitan area.[12] Sebastiano's was included in the website's 2025 lists of Portland's best restaurants for Italian food and mid-week lunches.[27][28]
