The original Messina in Sydney. Great gelato for sure although some Flavours are too sweet for me. Queue will be long but moves fast so don't turn back because of that. My fave is the pannacotta!

The culinary architects at Gelato Messina create ice cream masterpieces, such as poached figs in marsala , pear and rhubarb , coconut and lychee , and dulce de leche (South American caramel ). Read more

Loved this little place. Thought the people sitting along the wall when we came in a little strange. But sat there with my friends and met a colourful local who gave us a demo of her dancing moves.

Best gelato in Kings Cross.. actually best gelato in Sydney . Try all the yoghurt flavours and always ask for them in a cone . You won't regret it. There's no time for diets in here.

Even if you don't really like icecream , you'll love the gelato made with love and amazing flavours. Chocolate sorbet is like a dark choc gelato and coconut pandan is sublime - great for Asian dessert

The queue was insane and not much seating. Somehow we managed with to grab a seat with a double pram and 2 kids to try the best gelato in Sydney . It was pretty special!

Serendipity 0

Amazing icecream worth queuing up for. Definitely recommend - don't miss this place when in Sydney!

Jackie McMillan

Obsessed by Caramelised White Chocolate with Sea Salt (so savoury) but Yoghurt Caramel & Salted Caramel perennial favourites. Amazing product. Never fails to delight dinner party guests!

Tasha

The Little Bloke (peanut butter gelato with malted milk biscuits coated in nutella ), Salted Caramel with White Choc & Milk Chocolate with Roasted Almonds are phenomenal and currently my favourites.

Chloe Khor

Rather sweet gelato .. But can go for passion fruit if you're not a super sweet tooth :) overall it's worth a try !

Pat P ✨

Pop's and Campari + Orange Marmalada were the best ice creams I have ever eaten! But be careful they melt very quickly...

Contiki Holidays

The most creative and delicious gelato you will have ever tried. Oh yes, it may even rival anything you've had in Italy. Check out the crazy flavours at the far end of the counter!

Berry & Yoghurt Apple Pie , Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich , banana bread .. I can go on and on about the most vibrant selection of A+ gelato available at this place and the coffee is as good as the Gel

Mimi Lu

Kyriaki Vasilaki

Long queues, helpful and patient staff and varied selection of flavours. Try anything with fig !

Gé .

The flavors are pretty unusual, and very intense. Best hazelnut I've had so far, cherry flavor very tasty. They open late so worth a stop if you're going out in the King's Cross area.

Paul Farrell

Order a tub at a quiet time and you can ask them to stick it in the freezer until your day is over.

I love ice-cream and I recommended you this is the best galeto in Sydney.

Terry Lynch

Messina is legendary in Sydney for a reason. The specials are always worth a try.

Timothy Corbett

Quite possibly the best gelato on earth. Tiramisu tastes just like tiramisu , salted caramel with white chip = heaven.

Imogen Diks

Well worth stopping into the gelato patisserie ! Around $10 for the best ice-cream cakes you will ever experience.

Thiago De Bastos

Definitely the best gelato I've ever tasted! Reasonably priced, incredible flavours!

Kev S

Pretty amazing ice cream . $95 for a special cake but definitely worth it.

Maria

Pandan and coconut was delicious, the dark chocolate gelato was decent too. They don't give dry ice for travelers :(

Mario Barraja

wonder how Sydney lacks of many more ice cream places considering the large quantity of Italians living here. no doubt, hard to compete with Messina ...

Ms Helene

The MuumMamma with 'fried bits', coconut sorbet and more is a current special and tasty!

Jade P

Best gelato in Sydney . 2 scoops for $5 is unbelievable. Salted Caramel and White Chocolate is to die for.

Tasha

New favs again 'Its Very Peanutty', 'New York Cheesecake ' & 'Piggy In A Biscuit '. 'Little Bloke still my ultimate fav!

Joris

Get more than one scoop of ice cream - or you'll regret it.
