MACELLAIO RC UNION STREET: the restaurant that is a theatre with its stage where all the sections are visible for the guests to enjoy what happens behind the walls.
Alongside with our already known Fassona beef, we have added the Bakery. We do PISSA not Pizza, which was invented before it following old Liguria traditions. Actually, pizza was first cooked in Italy for Andrea Doria, an important Admiral of Genoa’s Republic, before the discovery of America.
At the beginning pissa was only seasoned with anchovies, olives and onion and matured for an average of 60 to 90, using strong flour that helps the dough to rise slowly at fridge temperature with a small quantity of natural yeast. This results in a tastier pissa.
Moreover, we do Focaccia di Recco: a very thin layer of dough made just with flour, Liguria olive oil and with Stracchino cheese in the middle.
Come and lose yourself in this culinary journey full of flavours, history and passion.

Food was nice, expensive. Main problem was had to choose off the valentines menu so we picked a share dish and when it came it was just a big board of steak with no sides. Pretty weird

Now this restaurant is not cheap but the food was great and cooked to perfection. We would certainly visit again but I think it’s more of a special occasion destination for me. I was there with my younger boyfriend and the waitress made us smile asking if we were father and son.

Having been to Macellaio Union St previously as I live near by this occasion was hugely disappointing . Whilst the service was good and attentive (our two servers were excellent and knowledgeable ) albeit it was bizarre that myself and my guest got asked to move from our table after being seated as they wanted to merge tables for a bigger party and then proceeded not to do that and simply seat other couples maybe it was a sign of what was to come in terms of customer care. Starters were excellent I have to say with both the battuta and focaccia. However the order of the cut of the Costata done medium rare which should be second nature to the kitchen came back rare. For me given the extra fat and need for this to be tendered spoils the cut - and the waitress had also advised on the same and waxed lyrical about how this would be cooked. So when we asked for this to be addressed by just a touch what came back was a medium to well done steak which was tough and dry. My guest , a student, ate it as didn’t want to complain, in my case it was inedible. I won’t be going back when a kitchen can’t get a staple correct and treats a simple correction with complete disdain ….. paying £70-80 for a steak deserves better level of service when it defines your brand

Il Macellaio in Union street is something you have to try once in life (at least that is). The food was amazing, the steak sublime. The staff was very polite and always there to make sure everything was ok. The ambience was perfect too, despite the cold of a late April night our night wasn’t ruined because they’re very well equipped with outdoor heating and blankets. The price is not low, but it’s absolutely worth it, the food is high quality! It’s been a perfect date night. Highly recommend.

Food and drinks were incredible, the staff were polite and professional, the atmosphere was very relaxed. The location is really beautiful. The Misto Imperiale was delicious, the Focaccia al formaggio was a surprise and the Lardo Bruschetta is always a guarantee !! The Costata and Fassona Gillet were juicy and perfectly cooked. I am not a dessert fan butyou should try the Bianco Al Basilico.
