Gate-side prosecco in Terminal A
By the main departures area in Terminal A, Sparkling bar – Contadi Castaldi leans hard into bubbles: expect prosecco and Franciacorta by the glass alongside quick snacks. It sits airside after security, so you can keep an eye on A-gates without stressing about passport control timing.
Most glasses of sparkling run in the mid-range for an Italian airport bar, with prices typically higher than what you’d pay in central Catania but lower than hotel-bar territory. You’ll find a short list of Contadi Castaldi labels plus a few still wines, basic beers, and standard espresso at the counter.
Food is simple bar fare: think packets of nuts, crisps, and small cold bites to go with your drink, not a full lunch. If you actually need a meal before a two‑hour flight, pair a quick espresso here with something more substantial from another Terminal A food spot rather than relying on this bar alone.
Service runs on typical Italian airport rhythm, so allow 10–15 minutes if you want a poured drink before boarding at a nearby A-gate. You stand or perch at the counter; seating is limited and often shared, so plan on a short stop, not a long sit-down session.
Tip: Check your gate on the Terminal A screens first, then use this bar as a last 20-minute stop within easy walking distance of most A-gates.
