Your Neighborhood Restaurant

Sebastiano Caniglia and his wife Helane operated Pal’s Ice Cream for several years at Byrne Road and Airport Highway before relocating it to this location in 2001. After a short time, they turned their ice cream shop into an Italian restaurant and named it Sebastiano’s Italiano.

After a dozen years in operation, Seba and Helane sought Sarah and I out in early 2013 to discuss selling the restaurant. We were “regulars” and very fond of the place. Indeed, Sebastiano’s was the very first restaurant I dined at after moving to Toledo! After a summer of negotiation over good food and drinks, we signed the paperwork on Labor Day weekend of 2013.

Sarah is a native of Fostoria and has worked for the Lucas County court system since 2000. I am a North Dakota native and, after graduating from the Naval Academy and serving in the Navy for six years, left the service to pursue cooking full-time.

On behalf of our dedicated, hard-working staff, Sarah and I thank you very much for your business. We can’t wait to see you again!
