Macellaio RC South Kensington paints quite the picture. A picture of harmony between farmers, growers, butchers and restaurants. Every steak served at Macellaio RC South Kensington – and indeed the other three Macellaio RC Italian restaurants across London – comes from the Fassona cattle breed in mountain valleys north of Genoa; every cut of meat is hung for the right amount of time and even the pissa (not pizza) dough is allowed to rise for 90 hours. All of this combines with fantastic service and a gorgeous setting to provide one of the truest Italian trattoria experiences within miles of Old Brompton Road. Macellaio RC South Kensington is just divine.

The menu at this South Kensington Italian restaurant is all about quality over quantity, which we just love. Begin, perhaps, with a starter of bone marrow or the carpaccio served simply with extra virgin oil, sea salt and black pepper. Consider a cheese or charcuterie board after that, followed by a main from the grill – maybe rabbit with white wine and garlic or rump steak with gorgonzola and walnuts? – or an indulgent pasta dish. You’ll find Macellaio RC South Kensington between South Kensington and Gloucester Road Underground stations, not far from all sorts of attractions that make this part of London so famous.
