True carnivores will find themselves mesmerized by the Classics La Macelleria menu featuring premium Angus cuts like Skirt Steak (Entraña), Bife Ancho, Bife Chorizo, and the iconic Assado de Tira. Each cut is expertly grilled to retain the natural juiciness and smoky depth, served alongside a thoughtful selection of sauces such as funghi, quatro queijos, gorgonzola, or roti—each enhancing the meat’s inherent richness.

No meal at La Macelleria is complete without its perfectly paired sides. The Arroz Biro Biro is a standout, layered with crisp bacon, eggs, and an irresistibly crunchy shoe-string potato topping that adds delightful texture contrasts. For a lighter option, the Arroz com Brócolis brings subtle freshness, while the Polenta Frita is a golden, crispy revelation—comfort food elevated to an art form.
