March Newsletter

Hello friends,

Big news this month — we’re NOW OPEN ON MONDAYS and we’ve launched a brand-new online ordering system with Toast!

After 5+ years with Square, we made the switch to Toast to give our customers a better shopping experience (let's hope.) You can now choose to have your food delivered (Monday - Friday), and next month we'll be rolling out a dedicated online catering menu. We had a few stressful days this week transitioning everything over from our old system to our new one, but I'm happy to report we're now (mostly) out of the woods.

Please note our Square Online Ordering system is no longer active and you'll have to bookmark our new Toast site at the link below.

TASTEMAKER COLLABORATION 🍊🥃

This month we’re collaborating with longtime friend-of-the-deli Jordan Hughes ( on Instagram) - a cocktail creator and photographer by trade, and sandwich savant on the side. During our brainstorming session, Jordan's Brown Butter Old Fashioned caught our attention and sparked inspiration for his sandwich: The Brown Butter Chicken Cutlet Hoagie featuring a cherry balsamic glaze, orange marmellata vinaigrette, and nutty flakes of Parmigiano Reggiano, all nods to flavors found in his Old Fashioned. Try Jordan's sandwich or cocktail (or both!) with proceeds benefiting the Immigrant and Refuge Community Organization here in Portland.

Our Vegetarian Fried Artichoke Focaccia Sandwich special this month is also delicious. Crispy fried artichokes layered over an artichoke-spinach spread, lightly drizzled with bright Calabrian chili hot sauce, topped with arugula, and served on toasted focaccia. Well done, Abbey!

Also March 19th is St. Joseph’s Day, and Zeppole are back this month! We make ours with a Sicilian twist, incorporating ricotta into the pastry cream with a hint of almond. Each zeppole starts as a baked pâte à choux pastry, filled with ricotta pastry cream, dusted with powdered sugar, and finished with an amarena cherry. In short: the world’s best cream puff (and Elise's favorite filling.)

Our Zeppole di San Giuseppe are available for preorder at the link below, and we'll have a few baked off each day in our pastry case.

Last but not least our rotating Bombolini flavor this month is Lemon Curd. Ellen made a banger of a curd that I highly recommend.

And as always, thank you for supporting our small, family business.

We look forward to feeding you soon!

Dan & Elise

Brown Butter Chicken Cutlet, or a Brown Butter Old Fashioned, or both!

Zeppole di San Giuseppe are a must try and can be pre-ordered for pickup on March 18th or 19th.

A customer looked deep into my eyes today and said “I love you, cookie.” I blushed, took the compliment, and said “you’re not too bad yourself… cookie.” I’m a hospitality professional after all and ready with these type of quips. After an awkward pause, our customer motioned toward the pastry case. I noticed our baker had piped “Olive You” in cursive on our Valentine’s Day Cookies. The End… or was it only the beginning?!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Cookies 😘 🍪💕

Super Bowl Specials & More

Hello Everyone!

We’re writing you on another gloriously sunny, albeit somewhat strange run of “winter weather” here in Portland. We’ve been dragging our feet on sprucing up our patio for the Spring and Summer Season, but perhaps the season is upon us?Let’s hope not, and that here is more rain in the forecast, with true patio weather still a few months away.

A new month means new specials at Sebastiano’s. We’re bringing back our most popular Chicken Cutlet of the year last year, the Hot Honey Chicken: breaded and fried chicken breast bathed in a honey, Calabrian chili and sherry vin sauce. Served on a toasted hoagie with caper mayo, arugula, melty provolone. On the vegetarian side, we’re roasting beets with our orange marmellata, layering them with a lemony-fennel slaw, and served between toasted focaccia spread with an herby whipped ricotta. Molto bene! Our vegetarian arancino right now is a banger with an artichoke and seasoned ricotta filling. A reminder we have hot arancini ready to serve each day in the winter months, until they sell out. Also mushroom marsala soup is back on for the next week or so.

On the sweet side of things, our Bombolini this month are chocolate cream that are perfectly creamy and chocolatey. For Valentine’s Day we’ll have special tricolores that are in hues of pink with raspberry jam and chocolate. We’ll also be making fun Italian conversation butter cookie hearts (think “Amore” and “Ciao Bella”) so perhaps make a note to swing by Sebastiano’s on February 13th or 14th for Valentine's Day goodies.

In terms of special events, it wouldn’t be ‘merica without The Super Bowl. Last year we did a take on Sicilian quick, casual street food (Tavola Calda) with our Tavola Calda Super Bowl spread and we’re bringing it back this year with minor improvements- more dips! This year’s platter has herby brioche pepperoni pizza rolls, stuffed focaccia squares, two dipping sauces (marinara sauce AND spinach artichoke ricotta dip) as well as focaccia crisps, marinated olives and fresh celery. It will both win the party, and your budget, at only $60.

Please find the full menu of Special Orders for Sunday below, with Tavola Calda, whole Muffulettas, Radicchio Salads, and Olive Oil Cakes which must be pre-ordered on Tock before the weekend.

Lastly a special shout out to everyone who visited us last week. Sebastiano’s was able to raise and donate over $2,700+ to frontline, immigrant supporting organizations in Minneapolis. These are very challenging times we live in and will get thru it if we support each other however we can. Hopefully the Trump Administration’s experience in Minneapolis will make them think twice before heading our way.

Thanks for your continued support of our small, family business. We look forward to feeding you soon.

All our best!
Dan & Elise
