Along the Old Brompton Road is Macellaio. Looking through the shop window it looks like a butcher shop. A great glassed case full of joints of meat and with a couple of butchery-looking blokes ready to personally prepare your meat for cooking. Macellaio is a meat lovers paradise with 28 day hung meat the order of the day.
If you want to go to Macellaio you had better book a table though, this place was rammed. We also ordered the Oxtail with Vaccinara Sauce. For me I found the oxtail a bit difficult to take off the bone but the underlying mash and butter bean puree was delicious. This is what our visit was all about, the steak, I am a committed carnivore so no pressure! I chose to go with the Fassona rump steak served with gorgonzola and a selection of side dishes.
My steak was cooked a perfect medium rare as requested and sprinkled with rock salt — delicious! Again a superb medium rare. The portions are very good here too, it should be noted that with most of the meats you are able to choose which size you would like. The sides we chose were the mixed vegetables and the mashed potatoes. Both enough for us to share between us. An uncomplicated selection of desserts, I plumped for the Tiramisu of course.
There was not an overwhelming taste of coffee or liquer as is usual in other restaurants I have tried. This was light and creamy without being too sweet. The second dessert was the Latte Dolce Fritto.
If you are familiar with churros, these are sorta, not really, the same kind of thing taste wise — deep-fried and filled with Nutella. By the time we had each finished 3 courses along with a respectable bottle of house wine we were pretty full.
Overall a great night out with some delicious food and great company. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email.
