Gelato Messina: Searching For Sydney's Best Gelato via christineknight.me

While I was happily eating delicious ice cream in New York from Ample Hills, rumblings were reaching me across the globe of delicious gelato, so amazing that people were lining up down the street for is. The gelato is, of course, Gelato Messina, only the most delicious gelato I’ve every tasted, and my new obsession.

So what makes Messina so mind-blowingly good? Firstly, Messina use ingredients in their raw and most natural form and make everything from scratch. For example, they roast and grind their own pistachios, and bake their own apple pies and brownies in-house, before smashing them up in the gelato.

Secondly, Messina have a wild range of over 40 flavours at any one time. Regular flavours include the popular Salted Caramel and White Chocolate, Apple Pie, Tirasimu, Gianduia, Pannacotta with Fig Jam and Amaretti Biscuit and, my personal favourite, Chocolate Chip. Weekly specials are creative mashups like Have A Gay Old Time (swirls of caramel in milk gelato with bits of chocolate covered biscuit crumbs) and Nicpic (milk chocolate gelato with rice crisps, peanuts, wafers and caramel).

Price wise, Messina is reasonable too. A tiny scoop for kids costs $3, a single scoop $4 and a double is $6.
