Authentic Italian Steakhouse
About Macellaio
Macellaio RC is a growing family of three Italian restaurants in London.
Our restaurants are most famous for its fine steaks. In fact, Macellaio means "butcher" and we like to call our steakhouses "butchery with tables". We work exclusively with two carefully selected breeds: Marango, our premium Italian beef, and Lake District carefully selected breeds from UK.
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.
About the founder
Roberto Costa still likes to call himself a waiter. As a Genoese with great passion and a visionary spirit, he conquered the Londoners with his first winning format, Macellaio RC, whose constant distinctive note is the choice of high quality products, lightly transformed, and the aesthetic search for a great experience in the restaurants of the group.
Our Specialty Steaks
Marango is our signature Italian beef: a refined crossbreed of Black Angus and Maremmana cattle. This unique lineage combines elegant marbling and tenderness with depth, structure, and pronounced mineral notes. Naturally raised with a strong focus on welfare and sustainability, Marango beef is distinguished by its darker colour, rich fat content, and a complex, savoury flavour profile with subtle sweetness.
Marango (ITA)
Sourced from traditional Shorthorn cattle raised on the open pastures of the Lake District National Park, this grass-fed British beef is dry-aged to enhance flavour and texture. High natural fat levels deliver a bold, robust character and a juicy, satisfying bite. Best enjoyed medium-rare, it reflects the purity of its environment and the heritage of British beef farming.
Lake District Farmers (UK)
Our halal beef is sourced exclusively from Marango, a premium Italian crossbreed selected for its superior genetics, natural marbling, and depth of flavour. Carefully raised with a strong focus on animal welfare and halal-compliant practices, Marango delivers exceptional tenderness, rich intramuscular fat, and a refined, savoury profile.
Halal Beef (ITA)
Tomahawk steak is a unique version of the classic ribeye beef steak retaining at least five inches of rib bone. French trimming culinary technique ends up in a steak shape that resembles a tomahawk axe handle. This type of steak is also known for its flavorful and well-marbled meat from the ribeye cut.
