Gelato Messina
-Offering 40 handmade flavours, with 5 rotating weekly specials, Gelato Messina creates everything from scratch using traditional and authentic Italian methods. The team is verging on obsessive about the creative process and customer experience, equally as focused on the quality of the gelato as on the origin of the ingredients. They are so committed to quality that they even have their own dairy farm, supplying super creamy Jersey milk. Gelato Messina doesn’t just buy the best chocolate available; they actually make it themselves using the highest quality single-origin Ecuadorian cacao they can find.
Tom Mitchell (Chef)
