Gelato Messina - Parramatta

Recently, I went to a restaurant to pick up an online order that my niece had placed. When I arrived at the designated pick up time, there was a long line and a few delivery drivers waiting outside. I approached the woman at the counter and informed her about the online order. She asked me to wait in line, even though I explained that it was for pick up. After finally reaching the counter, the man working there asked me to wait while he prepared an order for a delivery driver. Frustrated, I insisted that it was an online order and asked for it. The woman who initially told me to wait then handed it to me from the fridge. I expressed my annoyance and mentioned the lack of logic in making me wait for a simple transaction. The woman justified their actions by citing company policy. This experience left a bitter taste in my mouth and I found the individuals working there to be unprofessional and lacking common sense. It's disappointing when employees do not use their brains or are not properly trained. This negative encounter will stick with me for a while.

Gelato, ice cream, and frozen yogurt are all thriving industries today. However, no matter where I go or what I try, I always return to Mesina for their consistently delicious gelato. I am a fan of the flavors, taste, and creamy texture.

You can't go wrong with a cup of Pistachio gelato from Gelato Messina. Situated at the intersection of Church and Phillip Street, this ice cream shop is larger in size compared to its locations in Surry Hills or Newtown. The gelato is thick, soft, smooth, and silky, simply divine.

Thank goodness they transplanted a store into Parramatta. I can get my fix of the best gelato in Sydney from just down the road. The traditional favourites with the regular changing specials.

I love Messina! Was thrilled to find out that one of my favorite gelato places was finally coming to parramatta so that I could indulge more frequently closer to home. Years after it's been open, I frequent Messina every other week and will continue to do so just because of how great the gelato is. There's always new flavors, which keeps its exciting to revisit every time. With the new Messina app, I've been coming even more because I can now pay through the app which makes life ten times easier because I never have cash on me.
