Gelato Messina | Fitzroy

The verdict

Rejoice Melburnians! No longer enjoyed by Sydneysiders alone, Gelato Messina has finally brought its gelato joy down south, setting up shop on Smith Street in Fitzroy. Considered the crème de la crème of icy treats (voted Australia's best gelato by the Good Food Guide), Gelato Messina features 40 drool-worthy, truly indulgent flavours such as poached figs in marsala, salted caramel with white choc chips (the number one seller) and apple pie, with new flavours concocted by taste masterminds weekly. Special occasion? Forget the Freddo ice cream cake and place an order at Gelato Messina – their creations are seriously out of this world. We're totally smitten.
