About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    They gave us the worst table despite having a reservation. The filets were small, made up of a few bits, overcooked and £42. Service was not attentive. Expensive and disappointing.

    Dear Anonymous, We're sorry to hear about your recent experience. We always aim to provide excellent service, quality food, and a welcoming atmosphere, so it's disappointing to know we did not make up to it this time, but we stand by the quality of our ingredients and pricing, which reflect the standards we uphold. That said, it's clear your experience didn’t meet our usual level. We do take comment like this seriously.Hoping that you will give us another chance in the future. Have a lovely day, Anita.

    My reservation notes of it being my partners birthday were completely ignored. to top it off, they sung happy birthday to another table! (other reviewers have noted complimentary champagne and/or brownie with a Happy Birthday song) considering how much we paid (120pp) i am appalled. Also, the manager, made multiple rounds of the restaurant speaking to every other table except from ours. We felt like outcasts!! However, the only thing that makes up for all this, was our server Maria. We appreciate her for being the only person to check up on us during our whole meal. Honestly, it was a really sad way to celebrate a special birthday.

    I saw this restaurant on an Italian TV show. It was in competition against three other italian restaurants in London, and won the prize as the best one. The food was as good as I expected, perfect service, good meat and good wine. Strongly recommended!

    Food and service was good. But they did not accept Amex which generated a bit of embarrassment on the host as she had only that card. Would be helpful to state upfront which cards are not accepted

    Totally overrated & a terrible disappointment. The price we paid was ludicrous. Setting was unpleasant to say the least & a stale smell. Will never rebook & a lesson to learn - Noirin
