Iāve been to Verso Coffice few times in the past. Itās a innovative coffee shop with a couple of spacious work and study areas. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and anything in between. The quality of their coffees, as well as their food is outstanding. I went for a mid-week lunch with some friends and we shared a couple of āpane cunzatoā as starters and then, each of us ordered a main. I got the vegetarian club sandwich with a side of fries.

Absolutely perfect for remote work ā they have a quiet, dedicated area for laptop users, which is such a thoughtful touch. The prices are super reasonable, the service is phenomenal, and the food is delicious ā yes, real meals, not just snacks!

Highly recommend to anyone who needs to get some work done while enjoying a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in Catania!...

So the fact they offer a couple single origin Chemex coffeeās is amazing. As well as the option of a single origin Aribica espresso (most espresso in Sicily is robusta, and very bitter). My only complaint, is the served us the Chemex in wine glasses, and the staff needs some training on making coffee with the chemex. It was pretty weak, even though it was clear they used enough grounds. My observations were, they need to dial in grind size, and their pouring technique.
