Verso brings the cafe-as-office concept to Catania, with a library-themed back room equipped with desk space, power sockets and USB ports for those who like to work while they slurp. Drinks include cold-brew coffee, freshly squeezed juices, organic sodas and spritz, while food options (dishes €5.50 to €9) range from arancini, lasagne and pork sausages to less inspiring salads.
