Every city should have a place like this. A spartan place but not sloppy, cozy, warm, homely. Where you can do everything and you can have everything. You can chat, listen to music, read, play and you can have excellent gins, whiskey, grappa, very decent cocktails and, of course, very interesting Vermut. All accompanied by refined local and divine products and, why not, by an everlasting SODO EGG.
Excellent as much in the evening as (perhaps especially) at lunch.

The Via Etnea in Catania is the most important street in the historic center of the city.
It is so called because it develops in the direction of Etna.
It goes uphill for more than two and a half kilometers, following a straight path that originates in Piazza Duomo and projects towards the volcano.
In fact, the observer who places south, near the Cathedral, can admire the elegance of baroque churches and sumptuous palaces, softened by the naturalistic frame represented by the volcano, which in the colder periods of the year is covered with its mantle white with snow.
