Editorial Review for Macelleria – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Macelleria inhabits a space that was once a meat warehouse. Dangling meat hooks, carving tables and a giant ghost-white bust of a cow implanted into a wall give the potent impression of a butcher shop. The menu is a smorgasbord of rustic cuisine: dark-toned chestnut ravioli, venison with black-cherry poivrade, a salami platter with prosciutto, speck and finocchiona.

Took my boyfriend to dinner with 8 of our friends last night. Wanted to sit outside but at 9pm that definitely wasn't happening. Order a round of cocktails at the bar. My bf's "dirty" vodka martini was best I've ever tasted, my henessey side, however, was heavy on lemon, light on the henny. No biggie tho. Everyone amazingly showed up on time and when I reported this to our hostess, she was a little caught off guard. Rebounding quickly she offered us a table in the main dining room adjacent to the bar. We all knew immediately it wasn't going to work. There were only 8 real place settings around a rectangle and the loud din made it nearly impossible to hear. High ceilings and wooden floors make for super high reverb. Once we informed her of the table no go, she offiered us a table in the downstairs wine cellar. It was perfect. A round table in the corner. It was comfortably cooler than upstairs and significantly quieter. Jackpot. The food was as good as i've read in the reviews. The carbonara, mushrooms, grilled calamari, T-bone and the special filet were all homeruns. We had three bottles of excellent chianti classico and cali zinfandel. The bill, amazingly enough, was less than $80 a person!! We celebrated in high style in a private room at a great restaurant on a Monday, without having to pay out the wazoo for it. Bonus plan.
Pros: Wine Cellar, T-Bone, Mushrooms, Carbonara
Cons: Loud bar area

I know that this is a steakhouse, but I can't say enough good things about the pasta. I recently had the Pappardelle al cinghiale with wild boar sauce and it was so amazing. The pasta is hand-made and you can tell..the sauce had nice big chunks of meat that were velvet-y and so flavorful. My dining companion had the Straw & hay tagliolini with peas & prosciutto and that was an heaven in a bowl. Again, hand-made pasta, delicious, salty prosciutto and a light cream sauce. For dessert, we had the cheesecake and it delicious, too, although a bit anticlimactic. The service was great and the atmosphere is perfect for a date.
Pros: delicious pastas, steaks, great wine choices
Cons: too pricey to eat everyday
