Summer is here, and this is the main attraction.Like the sweet here, although eat more easy to put on meat, but can not resist the temptation of delicious foods.
This is a review on Gelato Messina’s Dessert Bar where they do the degustation menu and every course has a frozen component. Even the savoury courses.
I didn’t know what to expect but by the end of the degustation I was blown away. It’s ingenious, creative, experimental, immersive and there is nothing else like it in Sydney. Every course was a flavour sensation and well worth the value of $130 which included matching non-alcoholic drinks. There is an option to upgrade to alcoholic drinks for $50 extra.
It’s an intimate space where the guests are encouraged to go into the kitchen and watch the two chefs at work. Every course was explained in detail by one of the chefs.
The ingredients and produce are seasonal and locally sourced and expect the unexpected when you go. #gelatomessina #dessertbar #degustation
LOVE this icecream. So rich and creamy and delicious! Bought a tub for the house 🙈
DELICIOUS, love the pure quality and variety of innovative gelato flavours.
Especially love the vegan and dairy-free choices!Never seen this place uncrowded.
It's where it all started from - the Australian ice cream revolution and the wide-ranging flavours all made on-site (apple pie & custard ice-cream, anyone?). It's a surprisingly small outlet for Messina - and seems to have less flavours on display than, for example, the Smith St shop in Melbourne. And whilst to my mind Messina has been surpassed (in Melbourne at least), it's still great ice cream - particularly blood orange with vanilla (sadly they had no pistachio).
Best ice cream in Sydney. There are so many options for different taste buds. All of my family loves it from kids to adults.
Got a tub with three flavors. Nicky glasses (which is a combination of two of my favorite things; coffee and salted caramel) , Milk Chocolate with choc peanut fudge, and Chocolate Mint (it didn't taste like processed mint mouth fresheners but rather like real mint leaves which was a first for me tasting mint leaves in an ice cream) Absolutely loved it.
*Messina creative department review*
Absolutely incredible experience! So much creativity and uniqueness in each dish. Our taste buds went on a flavour rollercoaster. Loved every single dish. Highly recommend!!
When you think of gelato Messina is perhaps the first thing that comes to mind. However, Messina's Creative Department is something a little unfamiliar to many people. This is not scoops of Messina gelato on a plate. Rather it's a gelato degustation bringing an unusual dinning experience that's never seen before. It's a sweet journey using bold flavours and creative combinations that challenge your taste buds.
YUM!! The Pistachio praline is to-die-for!! Crunchy with fresh pistachios, and packed with pistachio flavour. Completely outshone the other flavour I got - Chocolate with Peanut Butter Fudge.
Greta spot for gelato with a good variety of ice cream flavours. I would definitely recommend trying out the limited edition flavours since I had one and that was unforgettable. A nice spot to hang around after dinner at night.
Always a favourite and love the weekly specials - I couldn't resist the Greek Tragedy and would highly recommend Messina any time of the year!
The line was down the block so we decided to see what the hype was about and we were not disappointed. Fast friendly service and delicious, high quality gelato with fun, complex specials are in store for you. If they have the Eton Mess & Yeah Mon specials, Go for it!!
Had Chocolate Fondant in Darlinghust over ten years ago and it was incredible to the point I quit having ice cream because it was not the same taste or texture as gelato.
Apart from following the global trend of having to put some sort of dough in every second ice cream this place does offer a more than decent choice of high quality ice creams. Seriously though, really not a fan of having crumble/biscuit/cake/cookie/biscotti/oreo/sponge in everything - just leave it at one or two cookie dough varieties... nice weekly specials or rather flavours, always check the blackboard!
My end of week treat is an ice cream from here. Possibly the best ice-cream in the world. Love the brand and friendly service.
