Being an Italian I'm quite demanding and strict in evaluating the quality of ice creams. I was skeptical and unsure whether to try it or not, but I have to admit that this ice cream is really nice! I was also surprised by the size of the cup, which was quite big for the priced I payed :-)

Wow saw all these people walking up the street eating ice cream. Thought I would check it out. It was to die for, so many wonderful flavours, so rich and creamy. Service very quick, good value for money. No wonder they were lined out the door.

You know this is great gelato when there are always masses of people waiting summer or winter. Soooooo many flavours to choose from and they are all delicious. Also check out their AMAZING cakes made from the same delicious gelato.

Gelato Messina is absolutely amazing. They have an amazing range of absolutely delicious gelato, frozen yoghurt and sorbet. There is always also a specials board containing interesting and new flavours. I can't recommend trying Gelato Messina more!

OMG, Messina is some pretty damn good ice cream!!! I wish my cone would never finish or that I tried each flavor they had there. I'm Brazilian and on my first visit (there will definitely be others) they had a "caipirinha" (Brazilian drink) gelato, made with real Brazilian "cachaça" (Brazilian spirit). The price is incredible, considering that on the convenience... More

So this place has the best ice cream ever, and some of the most imaginative flavours I've ever seen: like Christmas stuffing - sage/apple/spices/macadamias - just like what might go into the turkey! However, I prefer the classics: the best vanilla,and there is a large range of chocolates for the chocoholics amongst us.However, my definite favourite was the salted caramel!... More

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!
