Macellaio RC Exmouth Market is an Italian steakhouse in Clerkenwell built around the idea of a butcher’s theatre. Beef is central to the restaurant’s identity, with the selection drawing on the Fassona cattle breed associated with northern Italy.
The grill offers cuts such as striploin, fillet, Fiorentina and tomahawk. Italian cured meats, Apulian burrata, vitello tonnato and octopus bruschetta provide contrasting starters before the larger grilled dishes arrive.
Pasta choices include maccheroni with slowly cooked beef ragù, gnocchi with pesto and ravioli filled with beef. Other mains range from a substantial ribeye Milanese to burgers prepared with dry aged Fassona beef or sliced striploin.
Traditional desserts include handmade tiramisu, chocolate cake and house churned fior di latte ice cream. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner throughout the week and also hosts experiences devoted to butchery and tiramisu preparation.
