Pro tip: If you are with another person, instead of buying individual scoops, pool together and buy half a litre. This is cheaper than both of you buying two scoops!

Winson Wong

If you want interesting and inventive flavors then you should try Gelato Messina. If you want classic Italian gelatos then this is not the place to go. Gelatos are creamier and sweeter than typical.

Mel Mc

There's usually a queue in this tiny gelato heaven. Messina has the most impressive range of natural gelato and sorbet flavours. The cute gelato cakes in the display are also worth admiring or buying!

Chung Ho

Pandan coconut , salted coconut & mango are some of the best regular flavours. The special flavours are often amazing and change every week. Check their Facebook or Twitter to see the latest specials.

Elliot Chance

The line outside is very long but you won't have to wait too long. Check out the specials or order from the standards. It's all good.

Jenny Jaakkola

Very interesting flavours and combinations, however, texture, freshness and intensity of flavours do not compare to Rivareno Gelato a couple of blocks up on Crown before Oxford! Try it for real!!

Michelle

Great place to chill on a hot Sunday afternoon, I love the lychee sorbet but this place has a whole heap of innovative flavours that will excite your tastebuds

Jana Liamkina

Amazing gelato . Apple pie tastes like an actual apple pie in gelato form. It's mind blowing. Their cakes are worth every cent too, and great for special occasions !

Sander Zuurhout

Best ice cream in central Sydney!! Try the Peanut butter flavour, you won't regret.

Anthony Maggio

Easily the best gelato in Sydney , and honestly, may be the best I've had anywhere. Even rivals gelato in Italy.

Raluca Bastucescu

Staff is super friendly !! I tried all the ice cream flavours before I found the one I enjoyed best! Thanks guys for all your help x

Sneak Thief

Ommmgggg umeboshi is THE BEST gelato I've ever had! Salted plum and sake sorbet !! 10/10!! Salted caramel 10/10 also. No wonder its packed out even now.

Hannah Lee

It's worth the hype! I would say the gelato is equivalent to what you can get from "Eataly" in NYC or Italy.

Tyler Waaler

If you love coconut as much as I do, always opt for a scoop of the Bounty! Coconut , Coconut , Chocolate , and Coconut - where can you go wrong?!

????????????????á???????? ✨

Best place for ice cream , always long queue but goes fast! You can try the ice cream before hand, love the macadamia !

Malene Vinther

Many vegan options + vegan cone ! Chocolate sorbet and roasted almond is amazing!

Martyn

Well , all of it.you like Gelati , it's the bomb. (if not slightly over hyped but still delicious) the chocolate peanut fudge is ah-mazing

Margherita B.

This gelato is WOW! I had the salted caramel one, but I will surely be back for more to try

P PP

Almond Croissant , the flavour of the week is worth to eat double scoops! Unconditional love messina!

Clarka Honziku

OMG! How can something be SOOO good? Their specials are amazing, but you can never go wrong with the salted caramel & white chocolate combo ;)

James Norton

Some of the best gelato one can find. Hazelnut and mango flavours are delicious just to make a couple.

Ishan

Really good gelato . Make sure you try the flavors of the day!

Marco 鳄梨

The latest blends are listed on the menu in the shop, make sure you come often and try a new flavour now and then

Bommy

Wow so smooth and creamy. Pistachio and hazelnut flavors are amazing.

Cameron Loudon

The best Ice Cream in the world! Choose whatever ... its all FANTASTIC! I always go the specials

Paul Farrell

You got to bring visitors to here for the willy wonka selection of flavours. Keep an eye out for the specials

Nick Fong

Queue in the direction of the sign. Walk to an empty spot inside the store when you're at the head of the queue. Be gracious to someone else who was there before you. Don't be a mouth-breathing idiot.

David Rieger

Best gelato in sydney by far. Their rotating weekly flavours are aweosme too

Timothy Wakulicz

It's tempting to get more than one scoop because of the long line and the low price but stick to one scoop and concentrate on solely enjoying that one flavor instead of having a mix of many flavors.

Mark Woodrow

Hazelnut icecream is amazing. Whole real hazelnuts ! Yum

Paul Farrell

Keep an eye out for the specials. Remember that they verge towards sweet and heavy so don't be a a piggy.

Heather Noonan-Hargroves

The Swanson. An ice cream flavour named after the greatest moustachioed man ever.

sycris

Salted Caramel is a hands down winner. Can't complain about the Pandan & Coconut or the PBH Sandwich either!

Sergio Galzerano

Amazing ice cream . The chocolate fondant and the banana are awesome.

tbxl ????

Make sure you check the board for their top pick weekly special flavours.

Lilly

Get the table near the window so the other people know that the shop you went to is a big hit!

Cooper Smith

Don't be overwhelmed by the choices. Salted caramel . Don't look back

Mackenzie Price

Move to the back of the store. There is a little area to use as a dance floor while waiting to be served.

Donatella Yamamma

There's always a line but it's worth the wait!

Mackenzie Price

Wonderful gelato and ice cream .. Great variety of flavors

Jody Vaynshtok

Over 6 dairy free options. Yum! So creamy it tastes like real ice cream .

Alexey Rutkevich

Good verity, the staff is welcoming, pretty good gelatos , but I think Riva Reno is better.

Simon Tan

They have rotating specials - anything with coconut is pretty darn good

Lyn

Found something foreign in their ice cream and brought it to their attention. Very apologetic and superb service to retain customers.

Damo

White chocolate + chilli + ginger has a real kick, get something to cool the burn, like Coconut + Jackfruit

Max Blue ????????

Salted Caramel is excellent! Nearly at Bi-Rites level.

Joseph

Best gelato in Sydney . Salted caramel my favourite flavour :-)
