Description[edit]

Sebastiano's is a Sicilian delicatessen and bakery in southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood. Previously, the business operated in 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][15] in a space which 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]
