Macellaio RC Battersea in Wandsworth

Real Sfogliatelle and great coffee. What more can you ask. Plenty of other Italian fair, other pastries, sandwiches etc.

We were there on a Friday night, should have been open but it wasn't! I was dissappointed. Don't state you are open unless you are.

This is one of the worst dining experiences in my last 20 years in London. Tonight. Pretentious beyond belief. House wines very very expensive and so average. £50 plus service! As to food, my wife and her friend chose a main pasta dish with crab and asparagus and both those key ingredients were left out by the chef. There are only about 20 covers in the restaurant. It wasn’t until my wife suggested I taste her dish that I called the owner over. These were about £25 each plus service. So the kitchen and those serving had no idea what rubbish they were serving. Bland watery pasta with no key ingredients. This place was recommended to us. We invited two friends. They looked up the menu in advance and thought all looked very expensive. We didn’t do that. The whole thing was so embarassing. I have never written a restaurant review before, but this place reminds me of Dick Turpin. At least he wore a mask. I think I’ll avoid Putney going forward to stop being reminded of this farce. Less than zero stars.

We really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the snarky staff and the sneaky approach to charging customers has completely put us off - they charge £2 for Parmesan cheese to have with your pasta (!) and also £2.50 for a bottle of tap water (daylight robbery.) None of this is explained to you so you leave feeling rather fleeced - much like the very despondent patron who was shouting at management for most of our meal. The food didn’t make up for it either. Entirely mediocre. Unfortunately one to miss specially with the many other options on Garrett lane.

This place has a great atmosphere, delicious pizza, friendly staff, and fair prices. I'll definitely be returning soon!
