Why it's worth checking out
Gelato Messina sits on Eyre Street in Kingston, one of Canberra's most popular inner-south dining precincts. Part of one of the country's most celebrated gelato names, it brings Messina's renowned, inventive gelato to Kingston — a perfectly placed treat in a buzzing dining-and-drinking area.
The appeal is straightforward but irresistible: outstanding gelato from a name that's become synonymous with the best in the business, in a great spot for a treat after a meal or a wander around Kingston. Whether you're after a classic flavour or one of Messina's famous creative specials, it's a reliably brilliant stop.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly living up to the brand's stellar reputation. Flavours rotate — the specials change often — and opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular Messina spot gets busy on warm evenings and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip, though for a casual scoop you can usually just drop in and see what's on offer that day in Kingston.
