About Messina

Gelato Messina is a celebrated Australian gelato chain with Italian roots, founded in Sydney and now with multiple Melbourne locations. The Fitzroy store on Smith Street is the brand's flagship Melbourne location, serving over 40 freshly churned gelato flavours alongside weekly specials, thickshakes, and handmade gelato cakes. Known for its creative, constantly rotating flavours and bustling atmosphere, it draws long queues and is widely regarded as a benchmark for artisan gelato in Australia.

From diners

  • The gelato here is irresistible, especially the salted caramel white choc, super dulce de leche, and gianduia.
