Welcome to MACELLAIO RC SOUTH KENSINGTON, kingdom of the Italian Fassona beef and the first butchery-restaurant opened in London.

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.

Very delicious food. I recommend the 1.2kg’s Tomohawk Steak. It feed our entire family. Great sides (we got the broccoli). Focaccia bread was amazing as well. Good service and good ambiance.

We are regulars here. The manager Gelu (who took over from Luca) was very attentive. His recommendations were great and we really enjoyed everything about the experience. We frequently go to Macellaio when we are craving a little red meat and I think they have the best steaks in London. Surprisingly, the pasta is very good too. They also have an excellent selection of red wine. We went for some of their cocktails like the Boulevardier. For wine we had the moderatly priced Salice but they offer high end Italian fine wines that are a good value for what they are.

Food was good. But was only informed at the door that time at the table was limited to 2 hours and not at the time of booking.

I have been leaving in London since 2014 and I’ve come to this place several times in the past. It was 2 year that I didn’t come and I must sadly say the experience was extremely disappointing. The waitress was utterly incompetent, didn’t look at the tables to see nor anticipate customer needs. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, the starters arrived after 20 minutes and the wine was still Not there, after several attempts to be noticed , I have finally managed to get her attention And ask for the wine and she said : Oh both wine are out of stock. So why didn’t you come to letting Us know and choose another wine ?!!!! When the main arrived we asked for an additional bottle of sparkling water, Olive oil, salt and Pepper. 10 minutes for the salt and Pepper so our Fiorentina steak was cold when we eaten it and the bottle of water arrived and of dinner we were ready to ask For the bill. We Provided a feed back and they still charged us the service charge paying bill of £200.00 Unbelievable ! Never ever again. Such a shame :(
