Cue up. Don't feel pressured to make a rushed decision. The staff are happy for you to sample. I wish I was eating some right now!

I thought I had the best ice creams back in Italy where I come from, but I was wrong! Gelato Messina is my N.1 now, and I believe it is very, very hard to beat!

Usually packed with a long queue, the gelato is well worth the wait. Yummy variety of flavours. Also some of the most beautiful gelato cakes made with some of their more popular flavour combinations. Bring cash - they don't accept cards which makes it a bit annoying as their cakes are around the 40-55 dollar mark.

I am a die-hard ice cream fan and hater of gelato but Messina's is damn good!! They have so many unusual flavours and specials that pretty much change daily. Portion sizes are average.

I love this place! I use to think Pompeii had great gelato but this is sooo much better; long queues at times but worth the wait. Love it.

There was such a long line outside the shop. BUT, it's totally worth the wait. We had the lemon sorbet, banana bread, cremino, pear&rhubarb sorbet, coffee and something green tea (don't remember what it is called exactly). Cremino was my favorite hands down. It was soooooo creamy and had the right amount of crunchiness from meringues. Do not pass this... More
