Gelato Messina has been a big inspiration to me as a Gelato-maker because they have the best English professional gelato book.
Anyway I was psyched to find one right next to my hotel in Sydney! Had to eat there 4 times in 2 days — Italian style (gelato twice a day).
It’s a little corner spot at the entrance to a food mall at Circular Quay.
Crowded most of the day.
Various specials.
Juicy looking over piled cabinets.
Milk based.
Sorbet.

And even more.
Here is a strawberry sorbetto. Not quite as good as mine (with the strawberries from Avignon), but very very good.

Overall, some fabulous gelato. Very interesting flavors and a bunch of nice Christmas flavors. Not quite as intense as mine. I even tried two flavors that I have made from their recipes and they are slightly less intense. I probably use more expensive ingredients because at home I use the best possible regardless.
Great place!
