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

Inspired by a trip to Sicily, [14] Daniel and Elise Gold opened Sebastiano's on June 2, 2020, [6] [15] 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. [16] [17] Sebastiano's has been a vendor at the neighborhood's Thursdays on the Plaza market. [18]

For Thanksgiving in 2021, Sebastiano's collaborated with Dimo's Apizza on a takeout dinner. [19] 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. [20] [21]

In 2024, the business relocated to Sellwood-Moreland. [1] The business began operating in the new space on March 7. [22]

[23] 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". [24] Brooks also included Sebastiano's in Portland Monthly's 2022 list of "our favorite patios for drinking and soaking up sun". [25]

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. [26] He and Nathan Williams included Sebastiano's in a 2022 overview of recommended eateries in Montavilla, [27] and Michelle Lopez and Jackson-Glidden included the business in a 2022 list of "outstanding" bakeries in the Portland metropolitan area.
