Macellaio RC South Kensington

Went to this restaurant for my bday dinner and was disappointed. After seeing videos about how Macellaio works/operates, I was very looking forward the whole thing of meat being brought to table before preparing or maybe being offered to go to counter and pick a cut. None of this happened. Disappointing, moreover if just a few minutes later other table was served as I saw it on video. I am not a chef and I was not exactly sure what I am ordering. If I saw the cut I would not order it. The rib eye steak was very very greasy. At least whole half of my cut was grisly and I had to leave it. We had bone marrow for starter which was quite nice. And my favourite beef tartar was very disappointing too. This is starter I order regularly and tartar in Macellaio was cut very thick and was completely missing traditional seasonings and it was served with only 2 tiny crackers. They would never be enough for the portion. We had to order extra bread. Who would want to eat raw meat on its own? On the other hand I must say that staff was absolutely amazing. Service was very good! They as well sang Happy birthday for me and I got very lively brownie. Thank you very much for this.

One of the best steaks I ever ate. Service was perfect, always there one time and friendly. Feels a bit like home but with the extra of having great steaks and watching a butcher exceling in his profession. Underestimated Restaurant. Looking forward to the next steak at Macellaio. Thanks.

Really nice place and definitely high-end. Staff is really nice, helpfull and friendly. Very modern decoration. Meat is good but what a price ! If good meat is priceless for you then have a go.
