Vasco and Piero opened the restaurant in 1971. Vasco and Piero created the restaurant out of a passion for good, uncomplicated Italian food. The making of fresh pasta on the premises has always been a priority. From the outset, the menu changed twice a day, a tradition which still continues.Vasco was born in Umbria and as a result of this many foods are sourced direct from farmers in this region. Particular favourites are truffles, wild mushrooms, seasoned cheeses and cured meats such as lombetto and capocollo. We only use the best quality extra virgin olive oil mainly from Umbria, Central Italy.Many of our hams & salames such as Lombetto (a cured loin of pork) are imported from local Umbrian farms.When in season, we import black & white truffles from hunters around the hills of Umbria.Our balsamic vinegar is from Modena. We use Maldon sea salt with pure flaky crystals.

    Extremely satisfied with our dinner at Macellaio Soho. Even better than the first time I went. The waiters are very knowledgeable. The food is great. You can tell from the moment you step into the restaurant that this is the place for excellent steaks and they do deliver. Much, much, much recommended. Will go back again very soon.

    Myself and my girlfriend were delayed 30 minutes arriving due to traffic but the staff were very understanding and kept our table even during a busy Friday evening service. The starters were amazing, we got the wild mushrooms, truffle and smoked mozzarella arancini as well as the bruschetta. I would highly recommend the arancini! For mains we both got pizza, which was very filling and tasted lovely but in retrospect I wish I had tried the carbonara. We got two glasses of the Pinot Grigio which was very smooth but quite steep when buying by the single glass opposed to by the bottle, although, it was worth it. All in all, the service was outstanding and the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant made it the perfect place for a date night in central London, I will definitely be back!
