Messina’s Sweet Obsession Arrives in Hong Kong.

Born from founders Nick and Danny’s Sicilian roots, Messina takes its name from their parents’ hometown in Sicily, Italy. Alongside Head Chef Donato Toce, the team has spent years perfecting over 35 classic gelato flavours, each made from scratch using only the finest ingredients.

With its newest store opening in Hong Kong, fans can expect the full cabinet of 40 flavours — 30 timeless favourites, 5 Hong Kong exclusives, and 5 rotating specials. Local-inspired creations like Hong Kong French Toast and Black Sesame Tong Yuen sit proudly next to artisanal Italian classics, all churned daily from the creamiest milk for a rich, velvety scoop.

Messina’s passion extends beyond gelato. Honey is sourced raw and cold-pressed from 100 beehives in Victoria, Australia. Chocolate is crafted entirely in-house using a custom Italian machine, while nuts are imported from Italy for unmatched flavour. Even dulce de leche is made on-site, born from a journey to Argentina and the installation of a traditional ‘Paila’ cooker.

The philosophy is simple: if it’s not made from scratch, it’s not Messina. From cookies to coulis, jams to brownies, every mix-in is created in-house. This devotion to craft turns every scoop into more than just dessert — it’s a taste of pure, handmade perfection.
