E Pellicci 🇮🇹

A proper family-run Italian café that's been fuelling Bethnal Green since 1900. No fuss, no pretence, just brilliant pasta and espresso.

You're walking into a piece of London history here. E Pellicci sits on Bethnal Green Road like a time capsule, all art deco tiles and vintage charm, the kind of place where the same families have been ordering the same breakfast for decades. The counter's always buzzing with builders grabbing espresso, locals queuing for panini, and the odd tourist who's actually done their homework. It's proper old-school Italian—think homemade pasta, decent coffee, and staff who know your order before you ask. The sort of spot where you don't linger over Instagram-friendly plating; you eat, you chat, you leave satisfied and slightly sticky from fig jam.
