Macellaio Fitzrovia

I love the food in London, and this was maybe one of my best meals ever!  Didn’t do any research, but I spent the day working at the nearby law school and only had a quick lunch break.  This was nearby, and looked cute from the outside and it was even cuter on the inside!  The lunch specials were generous portions and the pasta was amazing! So authentic, I could really go for their pesto right now!!

The highlight of the meal was definitely the lard on toast, its almost like prosciutto but so luxurious and fatty and just melts in your mouth without being sickly, paired with honey and some nuts it’s just a wonderful starter. The steak however was slightly disappointing, the cooking of the steak seems over around the outside and under in the inside but regardless it was generally tender. But the flavour is a bit bland and I didn’t like the excess olive oil drizzled over it. The Mac and cheese was also great. I’d say it’s a bit on the pricey side for the quality of the steak.

Good environment and simple yet unique style. Food was good, really liked the enthusiasm of the waiter who served us. We were also brought a small starter (bread and cured meat slices) free of charge, really appreciated it. Would definitely go there again

I had an amazing dinner! Italian platter of mixed salumi and ham with home made bread. Ravioli filled with mince meat and as I like spicy requested the chef to add some chili to my plate. To end I had a beef tenderloin. Everything was delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

First 100% recommendation.

Tried it on a business trip. I was positive surprised by the quality of the food. The beef tongue was very tender and prepared very delicious. The pizza didn't stand behind the started in any regard. Very tasty - keep up the quality.

Tip for the future:
Warm your pizza plates.

Why not five stars:
Stuff was extremely friendly but also kind of unorganized and a sometimes not focused. The restaurant was not crowded when I was there but the waiter had to confirm my order 2 min after taking it. They didn't know when I was ordering that the wine I selected was out of stock. Tiny things but still not too much to expect from a service with such excellent food.
