thewhiteswanMarch 27, 2015First time here! The staff were excellent, they let us try 6 flavours before we finally decided on what we wanted. I got the Gianduia (Choc hazlenut) & The Rexinator (a special).
TE IvanušDecember 28, 2017The best dulce de leche icecream in the World! One of the best icecream places in the Eorld. Very close to those in Italy! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Lou LouDecember 28, 2017The best gelato I have ever tried period. And I am european and live next to Italy. Dulce de leche and white choc with hazelnut are the best!
Olly NewportMay 19, 2018The most insanely pistachio Pistachio gelato I've ever tasted, and I've eaten a lot of that flavour all over Italy!
- Jun HengMarch 6, 2015Best gelato in Melbourne, well that's what I think. There's usually a line because there's always so many people! So many flavours to choose from. Here's a tip: always check out the specials!
Kit&kafoodleNovember 16, 2014Love their crazy flavours jam packed with chunky cookies, fudge or other misc items. Of the normal flavours I've tried, I like coconut&pandan, and the fig varieties. Queue moves fast Dw.
V▲NESS▲August 27, 2018Wide variety of gelato, had pistachio and praline that comes with generous amount of pistachio!
- Nana BakrieMarch 9, 2014Gianduia bianca and salted caramel white chocolate together is a spiritual expeience i highly recommend 😍 dulce et leche is my biggest regret because 3 scoops and i'd be breaking floorboards
Of course great Gelato, almost always crowded. My tip: if your going for more than one flavour don't get too many overly sweet ones, get a fruit or pistachio in there too
Lynn WabbitMay 3, 2015If you like banana, and if you like peanut butter... Get the banana split! Messina is still tops in Melbourne in my books :)
- Jobe WilliamsFebruary 21, 2016Messina is always exceptional, they have great sorbet options for non-dairy or vegan diets. I love the Coconut Pandan and the Salted Coconut and Mango flavors.
- Lynn WabbitJanuary 31, 2015Fave flavour of the month for me is the Mighty GM Pie (peanut butter gelato with choco crust & custard, and banana jam). Went back there for two consecutive weekends!
Sigrid de CastellaFebruary 13, 2016Sometimes cash only, so bring plenty as it's not cheap - 2 single cones and 2 double scoop cups $24. But it's worth it. Lots of innovative flavors.
PauloJanuary 12, 2014Amazing gelato that is even better than Sydney one. Great range of flavours and well priced! Be prepared to wait in line, service is quick and friendly.
Get the "Two Stroke" special if it's available. DAMN, those candied hazelnuts son.
Brenda TangJuly 4, 2014Salted caramel and white chocolate - subtle yet beautiful. I also love how they have a tiny size ($3) for small-eaters like me!
Yondering MonkeysJanuary 4, 2016A lot of choice and a lot of interesting flavours! White chocolate - hazelnut was yummy!
Joao FerreiraApril 14, 2017Both the pistachio and the fondant were epic. I'm sure all the other flavors are equally good.
Svante JerlingDecember 29, 2014Best ice cream I have yet to have. I tried blood orange and fig-salted caramel.
Always a line, go right around to the far right counter to be served faster, and get at least one of the rotating specials.
I wish 'the number two' would come back.. Best flavour by a long shot, I feel like they're teasing me by not having it anymore!
Michael MoriAugust 13, 2014A must! Been in Sydney, and then here! Always the best! Try the tiramisu and the specials!
Lachlan McDonaldOctober 8, 2014Just about everything! Often long lines, very pushy and you won't get a seat, but amazing gelato.
bikzvithz B.October 4, 2014The best gelato in this part of the world (so says the ice cream and gelato critic) . Salted caramel pls!
Justyn KohNovember 5, 2014Do all your favourite standard flavours once then come back every now and then for the specials.
Hu-Lin TayJune 15, 2014Salted caramel with white chocolate is their most popular flavor and it's awesome! :)- The Melbourne CheapskateApril 11, 2015Very busy on a Saturday but definitely worth it. Great flavours and chilled atmosphere.
- Best gelato in the city? Probably. Get anything. It's rich and tasty.
Genkizz19 HeartrockNovember 3, 2015Go at night. You'll find the music+art+environment+ice cream are wow!
RaniJanuary 13, 2014fav: roasted pear & rubarb! and coconut w/ lychee. and the prices are reasonable!
Jumpin JettFebruary 23, 2014Little Bloke is the best!!! Peanut Butter with Nutella Fudge and Malt o Milk Biscuits... yummmm!!!!!
Alex WalkerFebruary 3, 2016On really hot days I have this ice cream for lunch. Ice cream is own of the food groups, right?
Simon McFarlaneNovember 19, 2015The JD&Smoke special was an interesting , added Tiramisu to the mix for a tasty dessert.
Mitchell MackenzieNovember 24, 2013If you love gay anthems, sexy staff, and creamy gelato you'll love it here!
KTDecember 26, 2015The crowd just flowed into the shop constantly, but I'm not sure if I get the hype. The gelato taste very sweet overall. Am not a big fan
kristine nicoleJanuary 10, 2014Pandan coconut was amazing. Brings me back to my summer holidays in Thailand and Philippines.
Helena ConiaJuly 5, 2015I love their effort to keep the flavors updated. however their classics such as the pistachio probably the worst pistachio that ive ever tasted
A.September 10, 2014Pandan and Coconut. I have pretty high standards for kaya but this blew my mind.
Praveen VijayanNovember 19, 2014Really good gelato but some flavours can be a bit rich and too sweet.
JoannaNovember 23, 2013Very good ice-cream. Terrible queueing system. Once you get inside, the queue breaks down and people get served randomly!
Zheng DeJuly 31, 2015Chocolate fondant & cherry sorbet.. Matchy match. Will back to here for 2nd time

"I still like this woolies despite a new coles being built nearby. Woolies has a great range of organic produce and a well stocked health food aisle. The fresh sushi station is good too."
