After an awesome steak dinner we decided to venture down the street and check out Messina who are…read moreknown for their gelato and cakes in Sydney. That move turned out to be really really sweet. I ordered two scoops dulce de leche and hazelnut chocolate and both were delicious and at par with the quality of gelato you get to experience in Belgium and Italy. The food game in Sydney is awesome hence you are always confident no matter which place you end up in you are going to get the the highest quality of food along with service. This nice little corner gelato place had excellent options and even though I didn't try their cakes I am pretty sure those were really good too. 5 stars all the way. Parramatta the area has some really nice restaurants and if you venture out here give Messina a try.

I spent 2.5 weeks in Sydney visiting family and the gelato from Messina was one of the top 3 things…read moreI ate (the others were Luna Lu and homemade pavlova). First things first: the staff was incredible. We went to order two 1.5L tubs of ice cream (max of 5 flavors each) and we tried A LOT of flavors before deciding. I'm talking give or take 20 flavor samples-- and the star m staff never batted an eye. They were courteous and generous and put up with one of our group explicitly asking for a sample large enough for the three of us to share. Now the actual gelato: we got mango, raspberry, coconut lychee, pistachio, macadamia nut crunch, pear and rhubarb. The mango and macadamia were the stars for our group by far, though honorable mentions to the pistachio and pear+rhubarb. I personally thought all of them other than the mango were excellent, with the macadamia being my favorite. It was nutty and sweet with a cookie like crunch in there somewhere. Amazing. I spent my entire last week trying to get back here for more gelato and never was able to. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to get some Messina if you're in Sydney.

Yogolicious is the delicious, healthy alternative to all your relentless ice cream cravings sure to come your way this hot summer. Located on level 2 Parramatta Westfield, Yogolicious offers delicious yoghurt servings topped with your favourite ice cream toppings. For only $4.50 a small sized serving entices customers with the choice between original or mango flavoured yoghurt and two of their favourite toppings. Among the healthier toppings are muesli and fresh fruit, but if you're feeling a little more on the wild side or just needing a quick sugar fix, indulge in chocolate shavings, Oreo choc chips and fruit loops. And not to sound all advertise-y on you, but the yoghurt is 99.9% fat free so if this isn't selling itself, the taste definitely will. The only problem? There's only one..so far. Fingers crossed.

LUCKILY with the recent renovations of Miranda Westfield there is now a Messina branch in the heart of the Sutherland Shire.

The only negative part of a Messina experience is the inevitable queue that comes with the Messina name, however staff here are friendly and fast, so the line flies by!

Located at the entrance of Westfield, Gelatissimo offers a tantalising variety of gelato, sundae's, rich chocolates, coffee and biscotti. For those who have special dietary requirements, Gelatissimo also offer a range of gluten and dairy free products. I don't usually bother with the coffee and biscotti, so I can't say much for the quality of these items, but after sampling about half the flavours on offer, I can safely say that Gelatissimo's gelato is delicious. From your traditional Chocolate and Lemon, to the more sophisticated Caramalised Fig and Honey Toffee Malt (my favourite), Gelatissimo's vast range of flavours will please even the most fussy eater. Customer service is average and disinterested, but when you're scooping ice cream all day, I guess there isn't too much to get excited about. My only other complaint is Gelatissimo's prices, which are pretty steep. Three scoops of gelato will cost you about the same as a meal from a fast food joint, if not more, depending on what size you choose. Gelatissimo has great gelato at premium prices. So the next time you need to cool down, check it out and grab a cone (or tub).
