Macellaio RC is a growing family of three Italian restaurants in London. Our restaurants are most famous for its fine steak. In fact, Macellaio means "butcher" and we like to call our steakhouses the butchery with tables. The steak we serve is exclusively from the Fassona beef breed, sourced from special mountain valleys in the north of Genoa. We take pride in sourcing incredible authentic Italian ingredients, food with utmost respect, preparing it with love, and expertly cooking each dish bringing to life a delightful trattoria dining experience. Immerse yourself in an unparalleled dining experience where your steak is masterfully butchered and presented to you before being cooked, and where our chefs craft artisan breads, focaccia and pizza in-house.

Sat at a table at the back between the computer and a fire door. They kindly moved us to a better table. Options for tables limited by layout of restaurant which is not great. Then waited ten minutes before asking if we could order a drink. The maitre was happy enough but the staff while eager were not use to the work. Another delay again before we asked if we could order. They do good enough steak but apparently can’t make any chips due to the fryer being broken. These were substituted by 3/10 quality roast potatoes. Not crispy/crunchy pale. Green salad was good. Had a Hereford t bone steak to share. We asked for rare. It was more medium. Very nice steak but half the fillet was missing.! The butchery could have been better with a few chewy gristly bits. Steak flavour was good. Nice bottle of wine but service need to know how to present it. Staff really nice and polite but clearly not had much training. Overall a bit average.

Excellent high quality meat focussed menu with a surprisingly good range of delicious vegetable side dishes. Extensive wine list at all prices. It was very noisy due to a Christmas party table but when we asked to move table they were very accommodating. Best of all they are one of the very few places in that area willing to take a 10pm post theatre booking.

Lovely food. Beautiful starters and steak. Wine was nice and service is really good too. Only downside is it wasn’t a busy atmospheric place but this didn’t affect the quality of the food.
