In a small town, it's nice to have somewhere to go for a drink or coffee with friends and family…read more This place, although small inside (a few tables) has generous seating outside right in the center of the nightlife. They open early in the morning for the before work crowd and stay open late at night until they see the crowds dissipate from the streets. The gelato here is artisanal and quite frankly the best Italian gelato I've ever eaten (and trust me, I've eaten gelato all over Italy) they don't have a huge selection- maybe 8-10 flavors, but each flavor is made with fresh ingredients and natural- no powders and fake flavors here. The prices are reasonable- good value.

What do I do after every meal when I have the chance? Well, If I'm in Italy, I try and eat gelato…read more After enjoying some lunch down the street some of the people I was with wanted to stop and get some coffee and that took us to Pestige Bar Pasticceria. This place is a pretty large cafe filled with coffe, sweet treats, sandwiches, and of course plenty of different flavours of gelato. I ended up being simple (well, this time) and ended up getting 2 different types of chocolate inside of a waffle cone with a nice piece of wafer on top. What makes this gelato different from some of the other places? Well, Prestige actually puts marshmallow inside of the cone and on the top of it to give this gelato a little bit of an edge. The gelato itself was very good (not the best I've had in Italy, but still good) and it was even better when you got to the marshmallow part of the cone. This is a nice little cafe that's definitely worth hitting up if you want some gelato or a coffee. I can't comment on the other treats but they sure did look good. If I ever end up back in Messina, I'll be coming back to give them a try.
