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.

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 :(
