I will follow Messina, follow him wherever he may go!! Sydney, Melbourne... I'm there!…read more Is a review even necessary? The Messina name precedes its reputation. This household name conjures thoughts of creamy, silky, chunky swirls n mixes of textured, sweet sweet goodness. Flavours to please every palate whether you're more into the fruity or a chocoholic! Always consider the specials menu first before you go for the standard.. They're special cause they're special! Otherwise my staples are the salted caramel & the traditional simple yet oh so so soooo satisfying banana split. Mmmm mmmmm!!

Always have a look at their specials board as they have interesting flavours that aren't always on offer- had the piña colada last time and it was mind blowing! I love simple flavours like lemon sorbets which they do really well, but their mixed flavours are awesome too. It can get super busy some nights so be prepared to wait a little and they only take cash!

It's finally happened. Melbourne gets another Gelato Messina. Anyone that has ever been to the…read moreFitzroy store knows this couldn't have come soon enough! Same format here - rows and rows of unique and delicious freshly made gelato in both ice-cream and sorbet varieties. Staff will let you try whatever flavour you like which may ease the choice anxiety, or make it worse! It's cash only, so come prepared. Recent price changes have a Tiny (baby scoop) at $4 and Single Scoop $4.80. I typically avoid the Fitzroy store due to the crushing crowds and didn't really get caught up in the hype of it all until last month. I wound up addicted to Messina after a short stint in Bondi. Here I learnt the trick to the optimum Gelato Messina experience. Always go for the specials board. Rotating regularly, the specials board always has the most out there combinations that will rock your world. In Sydney I had ones like the Momofuku 'crack pie' with hunks of caramelly biscuit in cereal milk gelato, or cream cheese gelato packed full of red velvet cake. Today at the new Richmond store, I had the "You Make My Day', which featured Toasted Milk Gelato with Oreo cookies and Dulce de Leche. It only just beat out the Coconut special filled with passionfruit curd & pineapple cake...which I kinda want to go back for before it goes away! I can't imagine the Richmond store being any less popular than Fitzroy, but at least many of us won't need to cross town anymore!

This place seems to have a very good reputation and it was recommended to us by a local friend. I really enjoyed the pistachio. It tasted like it was roasted. My husband asked for strachiatella. It turned out they just call it "chocolate chip". I found it was just a tad too sweet. He thought it was very good. $5.80 for a single flavour, $6.80 for two, and $8.80 for 3. It was a tad on the expensive side, but I'm Canadian and this is Australia. It's pretty normal pricing here. I would definitely come back and try other flavours.

Luckily nuts and mini chocolate chips served as a fine substitute.

(Gee, that was a mouthful) Situated in quiet Yarra lane which is just off Darling Street, the new self-serve concept has yet to pick up but we're sure it will soon enough. How it works is you are the master of your own yoghurt cup experience. It's a clever system, I think because you decide how much yoghurt you want (perfect for small or very large eaters) and then you choose your toppings and everything is calculated by weight. This means, if you're in a huge yoghurt mood and you fill your bowl with yoghurt and toppings, you pay the price. Likewise, if you're just in the mood for a quick slither of a taste, you pay for the small portion. It's the perfect equation and one where you can never again blame the service staff for under or over portioning. My advice however is to try the flavours you're interested in before your swirl your cup under the yoghurt machine. Once you're set on your choice (you can choose as many flavours as you like), then you start the DIY part. We've been here on two occasions now and it's always empty because the apartments nearby are still quite vacant but we're sure once word gets round, this place will pack up so get in before everybody else.

Yelp Review 2023 #292:…read more I first had gelato from Gelato Messina while visiting Melbourne. We had a Gelato Messina in Vegas for a hot minute then, it went out of business for some odd reason (they were always busy). They have classic flavors: chocolate, gianduja, hazelnut, cookies and cream, coffee, Hokey Pokey, dulce de leche, chocolate mint, bounty, pistachio, rum raisin, boysenberry, salted caramel, vanilla, and tiramisu. Their sorbets are vegan: mango, strawberry, coconut and mango, passionfruit, coconut Pandan, raspberry, lemon, blood orange, and chocolate. My favorites: gianduja, hazelnut, and pistachio. They have specials that change every week. The specials are quite interesting. The flavors could have potato chips, pretzels, Nutella, nuts, fruit, marshmallows, some sort of cookie, etc. You can get 1 scoop or however many scoops you want. They have cups or cones. You can get your gelato in cake form. My favorite is the mushroom one. What I've noticed is the layout of the store is pretty much standard no matter what location you go to. You can get merchandise like shirts, mugs, aprons, and stuff.
