This is a great neighborhood gem. The menu is consistent if not adventurous. I've tried most things on the menu. My favorites are the veal Gorgonzola or veal Carciofi, and Braciola Neapolitana, thin sliced beef stuffed and rolled. Before your meal bread is served with a flavorful chimichuri sauce. There is a wine bar for more relaxed dining with music or the more formal restaurant side. The full menu is offered on both sides. The service is outstanding. If you want your “Cheers” moment, they remember your name when you come in.

The food was just average. My partner ordered the salmon and it wasn't very good—kind of mushy. I ordered the special stuffed beef dish. It was just ok—heavy on the thick tomato sauce. The beef itself was tender and flavorful. I should have read the description better since I'm not a fan of thick tomato sauce. The service was good and our server was very nice and competent. Make sure to note in your reservation that you want the dining room. Otherwise you may be seated in the wine bar instead.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our first experience here. Food was excellent and service was attentive and charming. We really appreciated the fine live music and the singer's wide repertoire. Not happy that 3% was added to our bill to use the credit card.

To start off, the culinary experience was truly exceptional! While I typically steer clear of lasagna, my boyfriend's order proved irresistible! The chicken piccata I chose was remarkably juicy, accompanied by a delightful medley of vegetables and potatoes. The toasted ravioli, with its satisfying crunch and melted cheese, was an absolute highlight. For dessert, I highly recommend the indulgent chocolate cake.The ambiance was charming, and our waitress provided excellent service. However, the karaoke night made it quite loud in the open space, with the cacophony of conversations and kitchen noises. A minor suggestion would be to address the absence of a sign or hostess stand upon entry, perhaps adding a "Please wait to be seated" sign. Additionally, considering the chilly temperature, a heater could enhance the overall comfort. Despite these considerations, the exceptional food alone makes it a place worth revisiting!

Favorite spot in town, great family owned spot. It feels like home. The nice young lady server is always sweet and goes above and beyond. I come here monthly with my lady and they always ask how my food was afterwords. Very welcoming and great food all around, no complaints

Great Italian food, great friendly service, great ambience. And fantastic entertainment on Friday evening by a talented acoustic guitarist who played our kind of songs (by the Beatles, James Taylor, CSNY, America, among orders)!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! I've visited twice and just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Staff is wonderful all through. Food is very tasty and a wide selection. Osso Buco was very good and full shank. Nice selection of wine as well. Very reasonably priced and it's a place where you can start chatting with your neighbors. I recommend to sit in the wine bar on a Friday night.

Outstanding food, awesome wine, and great service! We sat in the restaurant area. Loved the dessert selection. Was very busy on a Saturday night so it was noisy. Recommend reservations. Definitely will be going again !

I went here for the first time the other night! It was so nice, nothing to fancy but a definite hole in the wall!!! I was a little confused when i first walked in but eventually someone will come to the front and seat you. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was elegant, the service was quick and i am very happy with my visit!! 10/10 eat here again.

Food was good. Wine bar singer was very good, but with the music and lots of people in a small space, it was too loud. Couldn't carry on a conversation. If I go again, I would probably try the "restaurant" side.

Decent night at Sebastiani's. It started wjth me having reservations but being told the table at the window was “specially requested” by another guest, which I hadn't done. No problem, but as I walked by the table I realized it had my name on it. So we sat there. Then the server held us off for a solid 10 minutes before even taking a drink order. She then delivered the wrong wine. Glass one of wine was gone before she came back to take our order. She did her best to redeem herself and overall she was very nice, just not attentive. I ordered the special. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was extremely disappointing. Maybe just not for my palette. We won't be back but there were a lot of happy people in there. Might have just been our experience.
