    The food was excellent and the ambience was delightful. One of the best Margherita Pizza's in North Beach. The service, however, needs improvement.

    The name reminded us of the Steps of Rome that once was on Columbus Av and had the best Tiramisu in town so we wanted to try the new one. It was a big disappointment since the food quality - we ordered pasta carbonara and guanciale pizza - both were mediocre. The pasta was less than Al dente and cold with slathered egg yolk and the pizza was so soft it may have been pasta. Service was nothing to write home about although the young chef checked on us couple times with his broken English. Never again!
