Formidabile Liquori & Affini

Formidabile Liquori & Affini is a brand based in Rome specializing in the production and marketing of Italian liqueurs and bitters according to artisan recipes and using 100% natural ingredients. The flagship product is nicknamed “Amaro Formidabile” and is a true artisan elixir, with warm colors and a round, velvety, and warm taste, making it an excellent after-meal digestif or a mixing ingredient for aperitif drinks.

The Amaro Formidabile is made in San Basilio, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Rome, from the idea of Armando Bomba. Nurturing a family passion in the world of catering and mixology, Armando has always been fascinated by the possibility of bringing to life the idea of a genuine and sought-after product that reflects all his life experiences and puts to good use his tireless study of raw materials. Thus, after various jobs in business management, he decides to dedicate himself to a great passion of his: the art of liqueurs. He stops to Elba Island for 5 long years, where he studies perfumery and pharmacopoeia, that is, the art of preparing medicines, leafing through and learning from ancient and modern recipe books. Right in San Basilio, he finds a laboratory suitable for his needs and begins the production of his bitter, using sought-after raw materials sourced from all over the world, particularly in Italy.

After years of trials and experiments, the Amaro Formidabile, as it is called, debuts on the market with a label inspired by futurism. The success extends beyond Italy, garnering awards and high recognition. A bitter appreciated today for its uniqueness and originality, a synthesis of a long journey of research and passion.
