Sebastiano's: Reviews & Ratings
I'm giving this place the official best tuna sandwich award. Far beyond a basic tuna recipe, this one has sweetness from the currents and some tartness from the peppers. I would die if they removed it off the menu. I live in NoPo but happily make the trek to Sellwood, maybe even order ahead if I'm short on time. Also, friendly staff and cute decor.
Delightful breakfasts! Get the potatoes with your meal. Friendly staff, and good atmosphere.
Excellent sandwich! The quality was top notch and I'm not sure I need to say much more than that.
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
I really enjoy this adorable restaurant. Their breakfast is wonderful and I dream of their potato's. Their sandwich's are also delicious. I enjoy ordering a soup and sandwich combo and have yet to experience an item I wasn't in love with. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. It's great for families or for a cute date.
More consistently good food. The cookies, sandwiches and soup are great. The staff is very helpful and friendly
I got the Melanzane (Eggplant) Muffuletta sandwich and it was great! I got it with potato salad, which was also good. The potato salad wasn't too saucy, and the seasonings weren't overwhelming.
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".
Ohhhh Sebastiano's I am obsessed with you! Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had since being in Portland. Everything we tried (cannoli not pictured) was absolutely incredible. The space is super cute and menu is generous! Staff was kind and informed, and prices are on par with similar locations! 10/10 will absolutely be back!
