Why it's worth checking out

Gelato Messina at Circular Quay sits on Macquarie Place in the heart of the Sydney CBD, near the harbour and the bustle of the Quay. Part of one of the country's most celebrated gelato brands, it brings Messina's renowned, inventive gelato to one of the city's most iconic and visited locations.

The appeal is straightforward but irresistible: outstanding gelato from a name that's become synonymous with the best in the business, in a prime spot perfect for a treat while exploring the harbour, The Rocks and the Opera House nearby. Whether you're after a classic flavour or one of Messina's famous creative specials, it's a reliably brilliant stop.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it's clearly living up to the brand's stellar reputation. Flavours rotate — the specials change often — and opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular Messina spot near the Quay gets busy on warm evenings and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip, though for a casual scoop you can usually just drop in and see what's on offer that day.
