The idea, to open a craft beer bar, was born in Giuseppe’s head while visiting beer shops. In 2017, 5 years later, Malto opened its doors offering around 100 beers. Most of them are craft beer from all over the world. Usually, there are 4 types of local Sicilian beer in draft as well (Alveria, Apollo etc.). Giuseppe carefully selects beer on his own, thereby offering the best experience for his clients.
