Book NowAbout Gelato Messina Highgate
That line snaking down Beaufort Street on balmy nights moves fast and delivers: dense gelato anchored by an expansive core cabinet and experimental weekly drops. Staff offer generous tastes right off the spatola before you commit, with regulars pointing straight to the pistachio praline and tart passionfruit-mango sorbet. For guests navigating allergies, the crew cheerfully pulls untouched tubs from the back cold room to prevent cross-contamination. Generous scoops at honest prices, best eaten immediately out on the sidewalk benches.

- Dedicated Allergen Protocols: Staff pull untouched tubs and fresh scoops from the back storage to safely accommodate allergies and coeliac dining.
