Luxuria Lifestyle recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Macellaio RC, a restaurant renowned for its dedication to Italian steakhouse excellence. The evening was a celebration of incredible flavours, steak cooked to perfection and impeccable hospitality.

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were immersed in a space that exuded character through industrial and chic interiors with exposed brick, butcher block counters, and interesting displays of dry-aged meat. The ambience was both lively and intimate, setting the perfect vibe for a memorable evening.

Service throughout the evening was first class, with our waiter Deepak providing attentive and knowledgeable care. We started the evening with a detailed chat about the different cuts of beef from all around the world. His recommendations and friendly personality added a personal touch that enhanced the overall experience.

The evening began with a selection of specially selected starters. The charcuterie board was a generous spread of expertly cured meats, each slice offering a distinct depth of flavour. Lard toast, a rustic Italian delicacy, was rich and tasty, while the Italian-style steak tartare was finely chopped and perfectly seasoned, allowing the quality of the beef to shine. The steak carpaccio, thinly sliced and drizzled with olive oil and parmesan, was a melt-in-the-mouth highlight.

The main event was, of course, the steaks. The T-bone, a classic cut combining the tenderness of fillet with the rich flavour of sirloin, was grilled to perfection. The Tomahawk, with its impressive bone-in presentation, offered a bold, juicy bite and a smoky char that steak that we had only ever dreamed of. The two Revolver steaks, a signature cut at Macellaio RC, were thick, marbled, and aged to intensify their hearty, beefy flavour. Each steak was cooked over an open flame, allowing the natural juices and textures to shine through.

To accompany the mains, a selection of sides further enhances this dining experience. The broccoli was lightly charred and seasoned, offering a fresh contrast to the richness of the meat. Classic fries and delicious truffle fries were simply luxurious, adding another level to our meal, while the tomato salad provided a refreshing burst of sweetness, definitely one to try!

Drinks flowed generously throughout the evening. A crisp rosé wine and a rum punch paired beautifully with the starters, while a selection of beers complemented the hearty mains.

Dessert was an amazing finale. The flourless chocolate cake was rich and luxurious, the tiramisu was creamy and perfectly layered with espresso-soaked sponge, and the apple tart delivered a comforting sweetness with a buttery, flaky crust.

In every aspect, from the artistic and dramatic presentation of the steaks to the warmth of the service, Macellaio RC delivered an unforgettable dining experience. Luxuria Lifestyle wholeheartedly recommends it to anyone seeking an authentic Italian steakhouse that celebrates both tradition and innovation.
