I usually order Messina most weekends with a mix of new and old flavours. I am currently bulking so its more like 2-3 times haha. The closest store is Circular Quay and ever since moving near it I've been cheeky asking for special things in...my comments on my uber eats. They always come through with the goods and often put little smiley faces on my receipts. Having such epic customer service at a local makes such a huge difference. If I could give them 6 stars I would. I highly recommend Circular Quay as the top dog store for Messina with the best staff.More

Great menu, really helpful friendly servers, affordable and great tasting! Pistachio Praline & Boysenberry our favorites!

We frequently visit Messina at The Tramsheds, Star City & Miranda and always get honest serves. Visited Circular Quay store last Friday evening and whilst gelato flavours were up to scratch, the serves were ridiculously small. We all asked for 2 scoops of gelato (as...we always do) and you could honestly see a quarter of the bottom of the plastic gelato cup and the 2 scoops (one on top of each other) did not even reach the top rim of the cup. We were all served half scoops and the staff member who served us must of seen the shocked look on all our faces holding up these tiny serves & then asked if "we wanted more gelato". Why serve half portions and then be concerned that you ripped us off???? Back to the other Messina stores!More

This gelato shop is right buy the Circular Quay ferry stops so it has a lot of competition. The line was long but fast-moving thanks to friendly and efficient staff. Prices were reasonable. However, the big draw for Messina is their unique flavors. While they...were unique the taste was honestly just meh.More

What great ice cream, we both had the chocolate waffle with 3 scoops. Amazing. Will definately be there again before we leave Sydney

My son and I came here for a treat before our walk around The Rocks. He got a cup with peppermint choc chip and I got a waffle cone with the special of the day called The Big Mac. My son loves his and mine...was absolutely delicious. This place was recommended and glad I listened!More

Always nice to stop by here and try one of the new flavours of gelato! My wife doesn't like it, but she doesn't has to know I'm here more often than she thinks.

So many excellent gelato places in Sydney and I think I’ve tried nearly all of them. For the first time I tried one of Gelato Messina’s selection. I was surprised that their Pistachio Praline was vanilla in colour not the usual pistachio colour. But I...went ahead and bought a scoop. No hint of pistachio, unless the sugary praline dumbs it down. Nice but not nice enoughMore

I absolutely love the constantly changing flavours - there is always something new and delicious here!

They have a huge range of gelato - tradition and not so traditional flavours. Smiling friendly staff.

It was a difficult process to get the right photo because there was so many great ones! But, finally I found the perfect one to present! It looks like there is a lot going on there, but of course the main looker here is the...boysenberry cheesecake from @gelatomessina I have had these many times before, but, this is the first time that I try and "taste" it rather than eat it. When you first look at it, the texture is so perfect and somewhat imperfect, smooth and rough, and that it is very very sweet. I love it when they give this type of look as it allows the person eating it/reviewing it a lot to think about. When I first bite into it, my mouth just melted, and started drooling a little bit, because, in most parts, it was quite smooth the cheesecake, and a few bits of roughness from the cream and curd on top, and it was very very sweet! The sweetness was balanced with the cheese and tiny bit of bitterness! It really changed my thinking from the start because now I think I can eat the whole thing in one or two sittings myself! Thank you @gelatomessinaMore

Messina's not my top pick for gelato but it's good and ubiquitous and it's the only non-tourist trap ice cream around Circular Quay. They're probably the best around there anyway but they also charge the same as at their other branches. The Gelatissimo at the...train station has jacked their prices up 15% while the awful Baskin Robbins and even worse independent gelato shop off towards the opera house charge about 40% more than Messina!More
