Volare’s Amore Amaro earns raves for its bold, bittersweet complexity, while the overall vibe is warm and convivial, making every meal feel like a celebration.
“This cocktail tells a story of a relationship — first the sweet part with rosolio di rose, then the sour part with lemon, then the bitter with Bitter, and finally the spicy with Timut pepper. It's called Amore Amaro, and it's a journey.”

Amore Amaro
This cocktail tells a story of a relationship — first the sweet part with rosolio di rose, then the sour part with lemon, then the bitter with Bitter, and finally the spicy with Timut pepper. It's called Amore Amaro, and it's a journey.
Sake Yuzu Rum Agricole
This is the drink I'm most proud of — we always look for drinks with as few ingredients as possible, and this is the first we managed to make with just two: sake yuzu and rum agricole. It's not a Negroni, it's something else.
