Bustling old-school Roman spot with generous seafood and classic pastas at fair prices, loved by many locals, but service warmth and consistency vary widely.
I Buoni Amici Roma delivers reliable Roman seafood dining with strong food quality and excellent value for money, earning its grade B standing. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from perfectly seasoned pastas to over-salted or bland dishes—and variable service warmth during busy periods prevent a higher grade. The cozy neighborhood patio and lively atmosphere appeal to locals and repeat visitors, but this remains a casual trattoria rather than a destination establishment, with moderate uncertainty due to review authenticity concerns that suggest some reviews may be influenced.
One caveat: Service can be curt during peak times; some guests felt ignored
