When making gelato at Messina we ask ourselves one simple question, “How would they have made it 100 years ago?” The answer to this simple question is; use ingredients in their raw, most natural form. “Ready made ingredients” such as colourings, flavourings, preservatives and pastes are not used in our gelato at Messina.

Because we only use real ingredients, we achieve full bodied texture and flavour in all our gelato. The dairy flavours have less fat content, and our sorbets are completely fat free, dairy free and full of fruit.

Our inspiration is derived from a background in food and our Sicilian heritage, but it is our loyal customers who provide the real inspiration. They demand quality and a diverse range of flavours they can only enjoy at Messina.

Since inception in Darlinghurst in 2002 we have set the benchmark for gelato in Sydney. Our product is made fresh on the premises daily, offering you a range of 40 flavours and selection of gelato cakes.

We hope you enjoy your experience at Messina.
