About Gelato Messina Richmond

Swan Street dessert fiends know the drill when late cravings strike—head straight for the 40-flavour roster churning genuine gelato artigianale. Night owls watch the counter for the five rotating weekly specials that routinely clear out tubs before the weekend wraps. Staff keep the energetic queue moving briskly, offering generous tasters without any fuss or judgment. Order the roasted Pistachio Praline packed with whole nuts, claim a waffle cone, and take it for a walk down the pavement.

  • Rotating Weekly Specials: Five inventive flavours rotate through the board each week alongside roughly 40 permanent classics.
  • Late-Night Service: Doors stay open well past dinner to take care of post-service sweet cravings and midnight sugar runs.
  • Unjudged Flavour Tasters: Staff happily dish out spoon samples across the counter so guests can test flavours before committing.
  • House Specialties: Pistachio Praline packed with roasted nuts and multi-layered house gelato cakes anchor the cabinet.

  • Reliable Late-Night Trading Hours

    Extended trading hours ensure Swan Street visitors can reliably satisfy late-evening cravings well after standard dessert spots close.

    I also love that it opens really late at night.

  • Dulce de Leche

    We tried the weekly special, Molto Bueno, along with the classic Dulce de Leche from the regular menu. Both were absolutely delicious. The ice creams were incredibly creamy and rich in flavour.
