Being a North beach resident, I have tried all the Italian places in North Beach. Steps of Rome Trattoria was one of the last that I tried jsut because I assumed that it had the same atmoshpehere as the Steps of Rome Caffe. Altough the trattoria did have an upbeat atmoshpere, it was much more calm, and the pasta was buonissima. I had the gnocchi alla gorgonzola and my friend ordered the bacatini amatricina. Both were done perfectly al dente and the sauce was unbelievable. DOn't overlook this place!
Pros: pasta, friendly atmoshpere
Cons: very small
