The restaurant has served arancini,[1] focaccia,[2] muffuletta,[3][4] pizzas, sandwiches, meats, cheese, cannoli,[5] cuccidati,[6] and wine, and the Italian market[7] has stocked staples like farro,[8] olive oil, pesto,[9] and sauces.[10] Other desserts have included brownies, cookies, and olive oil cake.[11] The deli has also served granita.[12]

History

Inspired by a trip to Sicily,[13] Daniel and Elise Gold opened Sebastiano's on June 2, 2020,[5][14] in a space which previously housed Heartbreaker Neighborhood Kitchen.[10] The couple announced plans to launch a food cart for weekend operation in the deli's parking lot in 2021.[5] 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]
