I dined here over four years ago, while in Rome for a study abroad program. I didn't want to eat…read moreanywhere that that was touristy, so after some extensive searching, I found this gem. Though we did not speak any Italian, the shop owner was very welcoming and polite! We told him (as best we could) that we were from America and he treated us super kindly. He offered us appetizers (on the house!) so that we could sample true Italian seafood. He sent over grilled shrimp on crusty Italian bread with grilled asparagus, followed by a fritter of sorts which consisted of a ball of extremely tiny fish. The "fritter" is something I wouldn't have considered ordering as eating small fish whole isn't something I'd normally do, but it was good! For our meals, we ordered the fried seafood platter which consisted of calamari, anchovies, and other small fish and crustaceans. Wow. I was blown away! We cleaned the plates! I recently began planning a trip to Italy for next year and knew that I'd have to mark this place for a return visit. It's truly a testament to how good the food is if, after four years, I can vividly remember what I ate! Can't wait to go back next year!

When we arrived on a late afternoon, we waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. To start off, we got the Limoncello Spritz (€10) and Aperol Spritz (€10), which were refreshing. For our pasta, we ordered the Fettuccine with Oxtail (€18) and Carbonara (€17). We also wanted to order two more Secondi dishes, but the waiter warned us that the pasta is filling. After we finished the pasta, we did still order the Rabbit (€19) because it wasn't something we usually see on the menu. For the carbonara, the flavor was delicious but not really my favorite pasta shape. It was also quite al dente with a chewy texture. I have to say that the oxtail was spectacular though with its juicy and tender meat sauce. While the rabbit was nice to try once, it was a bit dry with minimal meat. Overall, good spot but nothing worth waiting too long for. Also, I'd stick to the pasta here as it's all handmade. You even see them handrolling them inside. Note that they also charge €2 per person for service fee already.

The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in the creamiest, silkiest sauce, and the Parmesan cheese was absolutely heavenly. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. I also had the berry cheesecake, and it was just as amazing. Light, creamy, not too sweet, and the berry topping tied everything together perfectly. Pure heaven from start to finish. From the food to the experience, this place is a must when you're in Rome. I'd come back again and again without hesitation.

(Not a tourist trap, locals still dine here) My Fiance said if we had this restaurant back home, he could come here once a week.

They love the pasta al denté and the vodka penne we ordered was one of the best ones! Also ordered a fish but I can't recall the name of it! Still really good!

You see mostly locals here, and they're regulars. The restaurant is spacious but also intimate and the men serving were efficient & welcoming. Not super friendly but can tell they're very hard workers. It was located near our air bnb & worth the walk everyday. We actually looked forward to it after doing our daily activities. The workers eventually recognized us and treated us like friends. Hence the name of the restaurant- Buoni Amici = Good Friends. Plenty of wine choices and great food to go with it. The penne was missing something but good thing we ordered it with the steak as an extra dish. Everything else we had was amazing, we had it everyday & tried with one other new dish each day. No complaints! We would even get there nearly closing time, & never felt like we weren't welcomed. Almost asked them if they needed help wiping each glass & cleaning up lol There was a dessert that we seen others eating during lunch with strawberries that we were going to come back for at dinner but sadly was all gone, so I imagine it's a hit. We enjoyed the sorbetto al limone every time though! I could go on & on about this place but I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Highly recommend We'll be back on our next trip to Rome!

Then where do we get good authentic Italian food?? In our frustration I started asking any locals I can find. This young lady spoke enough English to let us know. She even had to call her friend for the location and name. It was not busy. The staff is older and looks like part of the good fellas cast. The decor looks like it too. Haha what an adventure.
