Why it's worth checking out

Gelato Messina sits on King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's most vibrant and eclectic inner-west strips. Part of one of the country's most celebrated gelato names, it brings Messina's renowned, inventive gelato to the heart of Newtown — a perfectly placed treat on a famously busy and food-loving strip.

The appeal is straightforward but irresistible: outstanding gelato from a name that's become synonymous with the best in the business, in a great spot for a treat after a meal or a wander through Newtown. 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 900 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 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 on King Street.
