I must preface this interview by saying that I’m honestly not a huge fan of sandwiches overall, so perhaps by default I simply just enjoyed my experience less than someone who does love sandwiches. I wasn’t super impressed by the flavors of the Jim Jonke, which a lot of people do seem to like, and I feel like I’ve better enjoyed tomato soups that I’ve paid much less for. I do appreciate the fresh ingredients, but overall the menu seemed overpriced to me, though that’s common in Portland. The homemade chips were undeniably really good, as well as the bread they used. And best of all were the desserts. The restaurant is clean and in a cool location, and I can see the appeal of it, but it just wasn’t my thing.

Made me miss Sebastiano’s In Montavilla even more today! Was working in Sellwood today so I had to stop for the most amazing mufaletta! 5/5 overall! Love to see the expanded menu!

Sandwich was tasty and filling. Focaccia was a great density. Olive oil cake had a great texture. Service was fast and exceptional. Cute little neighborhood spot!

Easily one of the best Italian pastry and sandwich shops in all of Portland. Every single one of the dishes is incredible. A must see in selwood
My friends and I ordered half of the menu, tried everything, and enjoyed all of it.

This place is the truth. Was recommended it multiple times and finally was around the area to try it. The focaccia was perfect. Was with a large group that ordered almost every thing on the menu and not a single person was disappointed.
It’s rare to say the chips are more than an addition but the however they are seasoned were a perfect pairing with the meal. Absolutely recommend

What a beautiful hidden gem! I am absolutely addicted to their marmalade and pastries! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so serene and lovely – you feel like you’re tucked away in a little corner in Europe. This is certainly a great spot to meet a friend for a chat, or enjoy lunch with your family. Great people and excellent service too — 10/10!

I don’t know why I keep punishing myself like this. Anyone familiar with New Orleans muffulettas is better off making their own.
16 dollars gets you less than half of a half of an actual muffuletta and a bunch of chips. We laughed out loud when we opened the box and saw how tiny the portions were. The flavor itself was a B-. Very mayonnaise-forward with cheese and a tapenade too mild to save it.
Perhaps the other sandwiches are a decent value but I won’t be giving this place a second shot.

Went with high hopes but unfortunately high hopes were not met. Some of the blandest food I’ve had in Portland- which was very surprising since most other reviews were so positive. Sandwich was a forgettable experience and I wish I could forget about the pizza (couldn’t get past two bites).
Icing on the cake is the pricing (I don’t mind paying premium prices for small portions.. but the food has to be good…). The cherry on top is the forced 20% service charge for takeout.

Spectacular. Sebastiano’s is a bit quirky – a small selection of sandwiches, a small selection of prepackaged items (marmalade, olive oil, salt), a small selection of baked goods, and only open at lunchtime 4 days a week (Wed – Sat). Also appearing at the neighborhood farmer’s market down the street on Sundays.
The good news is that it’s completely worth having to remind yourself to check the calendar and the clock to visit these wonderful people.
There were two of us on my recent visit. We split that day’s sandwich special – a Sebastiano’s Hoagie, and it rivalled anything I ever had growing up on the East Coast. We also split a fantastic rustic fruit tart, and each had a wonderfully cold Italian lager.
Another of the quirks was walking up to the dutch door out front, checking out the posted menu and the goodies on display in the window, ordering, and then walking out back to the festive patio seating set up in a corner of the parking lot. Not a typical dining experience, but I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

First time visit 1/5/26. Great latte and pastries. Looking forward to trying a sandwich next visit. Small interior space during the bad weather. Garage doors might open in the Spring.
