    The original Messina in Sydney. Great gelato for sure although some Flavours are too sweet for me. Queue will be long but moves fast so don't turn back because of that. My fave is the pannacotta!

    The culinary architects at Gelato Messina create ice cream masterpieces, such as poached figs in marsala, pear and rhubarb, coconut and lychee, and dulce de leche (South American caramel). Read more

    Loved this little place. Thought the people sitting along the wall when we came in a little strange. But sat there with my friends and met a colourful local who gave us a demo of her dancing moves.

    Best gelato in Kings Cross.. actually best gelato in Sydney. Try all the yoghurt flavours and always ask for them in a cone. You won't regret it. There's no time for diets in here.

    The queue was insane and not much seating. Somehow we managed with to grab a seat with a double pram and 2 kids to try the best gelato in Sydney. It was pretty special!

    The Little Bloke (peanut butter gelato with malted milk biscuits coated in nutella), Salted Caramel with White Choc & Milk Chocolate with Roasted Almonds are phenomenal and currently my favourites.

    Even if you don't really like icecream, you'll love the gelato made with love and amazing flavours. Chocolate sorbet is like a dark choc gelato and coconut pandan is sublime - great for Asian dessert

    Pop's and Campari + Orange Marmalada were the best ice creams I have ever eaten! But be careful they melt very quickly...

    The most creative and delicious gelato you will have ever tried. Oh yes, it may even rival anything you've had in Italy. Check out the crazy flavours at the far end of the counter!

    Obsessed by Caramelised White Chocolate with Sea Salt (so savoury) but Yoghurt Caramel & Salted Caramel perennial favourites. Amazing product. Never fails to delight dinner party guests!

    The flavors are pretty unusual, and very intense. Best hazelnut I've had so far, cherry flavor very tasty. They open late so worth a stop if you're going out in the King's Cross area.

    Well worth stopping into the gelato patisserie! Around $10 for the best ice-cream cakes you will ever experience.

    Pandan and coconut was delicious, the dark chocolate gelato was decent too. They don't give dry ice for travelers :(

    Quite possibly the best gelato on earth. Tiramisu tastes just like tiramisu, salted caramel with white chip = heaven.

    Best gelato in Sydney. 2 scoops for $5 is unbelievable. Salted Caramel and White Chocolate is to die for.

    Keep your eye out for the amazing Lime Cheesecake flavoured gelato. Spotting it is rarer than a whale-sighting, but unlike whale, people won't think you're a monster for eating it.

    Order a tub at a quiet time and you can ask them to stick it in the freezer until your day is over.
