YOu can request a flight of amaro at Prezza (e.g. Nonino, Averna, Santa Maria) which is fun.

bourbon, .5 oz each of lemon juice and OJ, tsp of Grenadine). For pure exoticness, mix yourself a Chaplin: .75 oz each of bourbon, dry sherry, and Ramazzotti (a Camapari-like Italian amaro), a big dash of Cointreau, and two dashes...

I bring Amaro, an after dinner Italian digestive, very bitter, most of my friends have not had it before. You can find it at Coit Liquor store on Columbus.

-like-beans accompanying the dish cut appropriately into the fattiness of the pork belly. I finished with a flight of amaro ($15). One brought to mind sour cherries; another, an herby minty taste. The third had more of a molasses...

joints I grew up with, especially the bar. La Fontanella seems smaller, more intimate, than the others and has a great table for two in the back. Although I find these the most “Italian” restaurants in Chicago, few...

category or a Lambrusco, Salice Salentino (Negro Amaro) in the red category will work with spicy ethnic food. By the way, I would BYOS (Bring Your Own Stems)and BYOC (Bring Your Own Corkscrew too!) :)

in the category of easy to drink straight (or mixed): an Italian amaro such as Averna, Nonino, or Nardini Amaro, or Mirto a rich Malmsey madeira or sweet vermouth such as Vya something lighter like Lillet Blanc or St Germain...

(strong orange note), Cynar (based on artichoke, odd but tasty, another one I suspect is more commonly taken before dinner than after), Montenegro, Amaro Nonino, Lucano, San Giovenale, Amaro Mio. Monk-made cordials like...

the very decent Joe’s Rosso, a delicious wine made by the proprietor, Joe Bastianich, and at $32, it is a very accessible choice without breaking the bank. We finished with a three amaro tasting and Robert, our waiter,...

I’ve realized that as much as I’d love to try a ton of restaurants in LA, I simply can’t afford it. But I have been hearing of many places having a special menu one day a week at a discount. We went to Osteria...

I have begun trying potable bitters. I found Amaro Nonino excellent. When I tried Campari (several years ago), I found it so astringent as to be undrinkable. I think Aperol is much cheaper than Nonino, less bitter than Campari,...

All good choices, though a little Fernet goes a long way. I’d look into potable bitters in general, including other Italian amari (Amaro Nonino, Ramazzotti, Averna, Abano, etc.). Other fun stuff: monastery liqueurs...

Nardini Amaro reminds me of chocolate mint...

bitters or a bit of Ramazotti, Nonino Amaro or even Averna for herbal character. Amer has a slightly toffee/vanilla quality as well which you might try to replicate (perhaps add a drop of Tuaca) — good luck! Since you seem...

The Hoskins is gone (with the last of the Amer Picon) and will be off their menu until they make an amaro replica. However, Green Street still has some Picon and ES-alum Andy can make you one...
