At Messina HQ, our trusty pasteuriser is where every one of our flavours comes to life. Whether you're at our Marrickville, NSW store or all the way over in Highgate, WA, every single scoop has been crafted meticulously, right here in this very machine.

This machine is where we make all our dulce de leche! It's imported from Argentina and might be the only one in Australia... kinda neat!

Did you know we make every single addition that goes into our gelato right here at Gelato Messina? Yep, that includes all the brownies, cookies, fudge, praline and more are made from scratch on-site! Shadow Baking also does most of their baking here too.

Pop into the store to check out our handmade cookie dough logs or pre-order below.

You can even ask in-store to sample flavours like Tiramisu, Italian Nougat, Pistachio Praline, and Cookies & Cream—all packed with our handmade additions!

Behind every one of our incredible gelato cakes and limited-edition creations is a team of super-skilled pastry chefs working their magic by hand. From delicately hand-painting chocolate eggs to artfully drizzling glaze over the iconic Dr Evil Mushroom cake, every masterpiece is crafted with love, and a whole lot of talent.

If you’re keen to treat yourself (or someone special) to one of our gelato cakes, pop into the Marrickville store! Just head to the left when you walk in, and you’ll find our full range of gelato cakes on display–ready to purchase or pre-order for your next celebration.

Step into our world of chocolate wonder! Up the back, you’ll spot our pride and joy—our very own chocolate refiner. Yep, we make every bit of chocolate from scratch. Just in front of you, our talented chocolatiers are hard at work, handcrafting mouth-watering bars, decadent blocks, and stunning garnishes.

Feeling those chocolate cravings kicking in? We don’t blame you! Head over to our store, where you’ll find the full range of our irresistible chocolates. Choose from singles to treat yourself or indulge in packs of 2, 4, or 8 to share (or not—we won’t judge!).

They make the perfect little luxury or a thoughtful gift for the chocolate lover in your life.

In here, our creative team spends hours conceptualising, making, and testing all of the unique and interesting treats that you eat from Messina. From specials in-store to event products, it always begins in this room.

The nuts we currently buy, tondi di gentili dele lange, are from Italy and are honed as the best in the world. But this variety doesn’t grow very well in Australia and we wanted to grow our own so we could have more control over our gelato. Which lead us to buy our own hazelnut farm.
