Sebastiani's Italian Bistro

Steve Wright 2 weeks ago

Been coming here for about 5 years. The biggest problem I have is that the food has gotten way over priced and it's just not that good anymore. The portions continue to shrink. The original owner, Pablo sold the restaurant and retired. The deal fell trough, and now his kid is running the place with no restaurant business experience. I think he was recently a plumber or a welder, or something. There is no bartender, so the mixed drinks are not consistent at all. There are several Italian Restaurants in HB with much better food for the price. Also, I try to leave before it gets dark. It's in a questionable neighborhood with a Laundromat and a Boxing School next door and there's a lot of riff raff in the parking lot. For the prices they are charging, you can go to a much safer location and get better food.

Very good food. Unfortunately they don't have a liquor license back so we had Italian food without red wine! We'll be back after they get their license again

We went out in search of great Italian food, and found the perfect spot. We have lived in Huntington Beach for 25 years, how is it possible we missed Sebastiani's? I ordered the house salad to start. Delicious dressing, fresh greens, olives, tasted fantastic. My wife had the ceasar, which was equally delicious, but not as good as mine. I ordered Pollo Florentina because I was in the mood for some light capellini pasta. It was a very large portion indeed. My wife ordered Rigatoni di Lauren, which is Porcini, pancetta, spicy sausage, pink sauce. That tasted delicious as well. We honestly could have made one selection and split the meal and still had leftovers. Our server was excellent. Great bread. I would perhaps recommend adding olive oil or butter, being a Brit, love my buttah. There was even live entertainment going on in the bar appropriate to the locale (Sinatra, piano songs). We will absolutely be back, so glad we found Sebastiani's.

They have a small dining room and a separate bar area as big as the dining room next to it. Service was friendly and easygoing, prices are reasonable. The menu is quite varied, our food was okay. Planning to give the pizza a try soon and will update after that.

I was able to bring in my group of 23 diners during the middle of the week to enjoy dinner thanks to the owner Phil. Ally was our excellent server. Everyone enjoyed their outstanding meals throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Sebastiani's to anyone that loves Italian food. You cannot go wrong. Make your reservations today.
