Get ready, Geelong!

The news has rippled through foodie circles since it was announced that the global gelato dynasty is planting its flag in the three-storey development on the corner of Moorabool and Little Malop.

While many gelato shops come and go, this marks one of Messina’s biggest moves outside the major metro hubs, meaning locals and visitors won’t have to trek to Melbourne to satisfy their Messina sized cravings.

The new venue is part of a broader foodie and entertainment revitalisation of central Geelong and with up to 40 classic and rotating flavours, from pistachio and tiramisu to wildly inventive weekly specials, Messina is set to be the place to hang out on the weekend.

For Geelong residents and visitors, Messina’s arrival aligns with the city’s growing reputation as a destination for premium food and fun experiences.

Keep your eyes peeled for the official opening date and maybe start deciding which flavour you’ll try first.
