Rosebery's becoming quite the Sydney foodie hub. With Koskela opening their own kitchen and Sydney's first distillery in 160 years bringing the crowds to in the inner south suburb, Rosebery has just landed itself one sweet, sweet addition to the neighbourhood: the ever newsworthy, unfailingly novelty and perpetually popular Gelato Messina.

Sitting on Mentmore Avenue, Messina's Rosebery venture is cranking out the gelato and cakes Sydney knows, loves and Instagrams well. Rosebery's gelato hub joins Sydney's flagship Darlinghurst and subsequent Surry Hills, Bondi, Parramatta, Miranda and The Star casino spinoffs, alongside Fitzroy's Melbourne venture, Coolangatta's beachside joint and Darlinghurst's extra mindblowing Messina Dessert Bar. They're also opening in the former Rozelle tram depot in Forest Lodge.

This isn't the only delicious tenant for the Rosebery area, of course. Koskela Kitchen has just opened where Kitchen by Mike used to simmer, and Black Star Pastry are watching their baked goods walk out the door on Dunning Avenue. Looks like Sydney's inner south has an insatiable taste for local culinary delights — buy up on real estate now.
