Come here for the nice, shady dining area more than anything else…read more
It took quite a bit of time to get our drinks. This was frustrating considering other tables (of locals who were seated after us) were served promptly.
There wasn't a food option while we were there, but I understand they source food locally and change their menu by the day. That could be fun to see.
We ordered wines and a big beer (Baladin Super) but the menu didn't specify the type of Super, so we ended up with a bitter instead of sour. I liked it enough, but no one else in the group did, unfortunately.
I needed to use the restroom and they were completely out of toilet paper. I walked up to the bar and asked for some, and they said it was a "known issue" and pointed at some napkins. Like, fancy table napkins. Interesting.
All in all, this was a pretty odd visit and I probably would try a bar elsewhere if I stopped into Catania in the future.
