VOTED BEST ICE CREAM & GELATO
(SMH GOOD FOOD GUIDE 2011)

Ice Cream Cake at Messina is created from ingredients in their completely raw and natural form, with no preservatives or flavourings of any kind. We pride ourselves in this traditional approach.

We roast and grind our pistachios, bake our own apple pie and brownies and stew our rhubarb. By utilizing fresh ingredients, the result is a full-bodied texture and flavour in our ice cream cake. Our dairy flavours are low fat and our sorbets fat free, dairy free and packed with fresh fruit.

Although our passion is fueled from both our Sicilian heritage and a long history with food, it is our customers who really inspire us. They demand quality, a diverse range of flavours, and continually evolving recipes fit for the most discerning connoisseur!

Since its birth in Darlinghurst in 2002 we’ve had one sole focus: to set the benchmark for gelati in Australia. To do this, we will not compromise on quality and our product is made fresh on the premises daily, offering an inimitable range of over 40 flavours and a select number of bespoke ice cream cake and pieces.

We hope you enjoy our ice cream cakes as much as we love making them..

Gelati at Messina is created using only raw, natural ingredients and making everything from scratch. We avoid all artificial flavours, colourings and preservatives. Our ethos is simply to make gelati as they made it 100 years ago, being fresh and natural in its entirety.

Messina is renowned for its eternal crush of pistachios and baking of our own apple pies and brownies. We stew our own spiced rhubarb… Everything at Messina is made with love and care, on premise, by our “gelato crazy” lineup of meticulous chefs. By utilizing real ingredients, we attain full bodied texture and flavour in our gelati. Our sorbets are totally fat free, dairy free and full of fruit and our dairy flavours have minimal fat content.

Although our inspiration comes from our Sicilian heritage and a extended history with food, it is our devoted (and slightly crazy) customers who inspire us the most. They insist upon quality, a diverse range of flavours, and continually evolving concoctions fit for the most discerning gelati connoisseur.

Since its birth in Darlinghurst in 2002 we’ve had one sure goal: to set the benchmark for gelati in Australia. To do this, we do not compromise on quality and our product is made fresh on the premises daily, offering a diverse range of over 40 flavours and a select number of bespoke gelati cakes and pieces.

As many of you may already know, every year we do a rather special Christmas Pandoro Cake that can be pre-ordered and customised with any of our signature flavours.
For about a week before xmas, our little team of scientists madly fill these traditional italian cakes with up to 3 flavours of your choosing, ready for collection just in time for Xmas day!
Because of both time and space constraints, numbers may be limited this year if we get inundated with orders..
To make things easier, you can now pre-order and pay for the pandoro xmas cakes online..
Just click on the link in on the home page or in the left column, and you’ll see the order page. You can pay and confirm immediately and customise on the spot..

You can pay by credit card or via paypal, whichever is easiest.
Of course, you can still do this in store if you wish to order and pay cash..

They are $58 and available for collection between the 21st and 24th of December (xmas eve – before 6pm)

Come say hello, roll the dice and have a scoop because everyone’s a winner at Messina!
