Steps of Rome Now Fully Closed; Barbacoa Opens in Orinda

North Beach: Steps of Rome, the trattoria, closed in December, and now the next-door Caffe (348 Columbus Avenue) has closed too. It’s been there over twenty years. Sad. [Scoop]
SoMa: There’s a new café down by the ballpark, the 144 King Art Café. Guess where it is. [Tablehopper]
Mission: Nombe (2491 Mission) is now limiting lunch service to Fridays only. [Tablehopper]
Orinda: Barbacoa, a new Mexican spot, just opened in Orinda’s Theater Square. [Diablo Dish]
