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.

Fast, efficient yet friendly service. Food excellent - had a perfect prawn pad thai. Only slight gripe was how quick we were turfed out but to be fair it was a busy lunch time so most people are on a tight schedule at lunch. Plus some of our party were late which delayed our ordering. We didn't hold it against them - lovely team. I'll be back for sure!
