This is the only lounge option available flying out of Catania. Like other reviewers have shared, this place is skim and minimal. The space is large and can easily seat over 100+ people. Just don't expect any hot food. Most options are carb heavy - though it was a nice surprise to see a small basket of gluten free snacks. I was here super early (they open at 5AM) and the non-carb offerings included yogurt, cut up fruit and cold squares of egg/frittata. There are super sad finger sandwiches with slivers of meat, cheese and/or veggie. 2 baristas were plenty busy behind the bar preparing coffee drinks. There is also an automated coffee machine as well. It's enough to get you by until your next destination so I won't be too harsh in my review. Glad I read other reviews before visiting so I wouldn't be disappointed/shocked. Best to keep expectations low and you'll walk away feeling like it was OKish and good enough as an initial start to a day of travel. read more

Nothing VIP about this lounge. The space is small and packed. Reminded me of the busy waiting area in a private medical practice. There is no AC and the bathrooms are outside. The bathrooms are not the cleanest. What I like about this place is how they have cold white and sparkling wines, bottled waters, canned juices, and an espresso machine. They have packaged goods and baked goods but they're meh. Also no outlets. Might be better to just stroll around the shopping areas by the gates after getting what you needed here. read more

A lousy choice of nothing: three different types of soda, mineral water and a few crackers, not even biscuits, no wine, no beer, no sandwiches, no fruit - nothing at all. read more

By far the worst lounge I've ever been to. No food, barely any drinks, super rude lounge dragon and almost no seating.

Terrible lounge - worst I've ever been to. Can't believe they get away with calling this vip - it pulls the whole service down. Literally just crisps, terrible biscuits, coffee machine and warm water with about 10 seats. To make it worse the person on the desk was so rude - seemed to hate there were customers. And we paid to bring in a guest - don't bother! read more

Small space, but a variety of SANPELLEGRINO juices, including a bittersweet orange that grows at the base of Mt Etna. A few croissant choices, and a few more chips and desserts. Filled my HydroFlask with still water from their fridge and used the WiFi to sync a few Kindle books, and make a phone call. All in all, it served its purpose. I do have to take it down a notch because there were zero outlets, and the bathrooms were awful. read more
