What's Amaro? I believe it means bitter, but what sort of drink is it
-- a liqueur of some sort?

Chris (just curious)

You're right - it's an after-dinner liqueur, very dry, not too strong (cca
30% of alcohol).
We had Amaro Ramazzotti, but here's the link that explains about amaros and
gives a recipe for a homemade Amaro alle Erbe (amaro with herbs):
