- E. Pellicci in Bethnal Green Road in East London has been serving a legendary English Breakfast since 1900. The Pellicci family has passed down the shop over generations. Today, Nevio Pellicci runs the café with his sister Anna, their cousin Tony, and their Mamma Maria, who has been taking care of the kitchen since 1961.

London’s Most Authentic Cockney English Breakfast At E. Pellicci | Legendary Eats
Places like these are national treasures. Any family restaurant that lasted over 100 years should be considered one.
Lmao no. All these restaurants promote white racism and must be cancelled or closed down. If you eat at one of these restaurants than youre a racist.
@@mr.10dollars72 i rather being racist than a hater
@@mr.10dollars72 you mean like McDonalds, KFC and Burger King? Racism only exists in the MSM and people who are stupid....which are you?
@@mr.10dollars72 The most stupid thing i've seen coming from a person
The only racist person is calling anyone racist.
I love that Mamma Maria speaks fluent Italian with a London accent.
I speak fluent Greek with a London accent. It has my relatives in stitches of laughter........ The bastards! 🤣🤣🤣
That's an Italian accent.
Lies again? Entertaining Babies USD SGD
Its the hard truth about how emigrants don’t budge a single bit and can accomplish to not know a single word of the countries they have gone to language in over 60 years of emigration
You think she talks Italian with English accent 💀💀💀💀💀
What I couldn't understand is, the place has been open since 1900, so logically, her family has been in the country since before she was born, but she still speaks Italian like an Italian...interesting.
As a Londoner, nothing quite beats a full English at family owned greasy spoon after a night of drinking! 😋
Good for you, nobody gives a bakers f’k mate
Thai food is better
Except a Scottish breakfast and who tf eats Thai food after drinking
@@ballpythonlover10 as a thai person even I don’t know
A greasy spoon mate, save yourself of the cringe
I went to Pellicci's for the first time this week. I can honestly say that it's the best breakfast I have ever had. It is now my go-to place for breakfast.
Brilliant! So happy to know they have survived all the lockdowns etc. I’m adding to my list of places to eat when I can travel to London next year.
@@nudibranch1379 take me with you please 😇
@@Abbyliciious24 lol with pleasure😀
To be honest, the food looks horrible, but the people seem nice!
@@a7n7t7o7n7y yeah looks shite but fair play just a greasy spoon really
E-Pellicci the Italian family serving Authentic English Breakfast is an unexpected combination.
Not really loads Portuguese Spanish Albanian and Turks etc own cafes like this
Not in London it isn't. Italian's owning "greasy spoons" is quite normal.
Plenty of Italians own cafes and chippy s up in Scotland too
not really, its London, its a multi cultural shithole
...since 1900!
It's so interesting when you hear a mixed accent like British and Italian.
It took me a moment to realize the subtitles came up because she was speaking Italian
At 5:30 this man made a bad joke its messed up bcz ppl are eating around him and hes on tv as well why would he say something like that..
@Sam Stone you can hear the British accent in a lot of Italian words she says
It's a cockney accent, there's no such thing as a "British accent"
@@moossakoomar208 then you've never been to London
The fact that the restaurant remains family run since 1900 just makes its story really beautiful. I must remember to visit this place the next time I'm in London
I watched 2 minutes of this, paused it, watched “legend” and was pleased to see this place in the movie!
Legend is a great movie!
I love how she swaps from an East London accent to speaking Italian in an Italian accent so quickly.
And I adore listening to Claudia speak.
@@info_bot lmao
But her English has an Italian accent... and her Italian has a slight English accent.
Check the pronunciation of 'bacon'... lol
@@info_bot Italians had it tough back in the days, in USA they weren't even classified as "white" in the past, and they had to do very unpleasant jobs such as miners or factory workers in countries like Germany, UK, Sweden, Australia and Belgium, and during those years they were called wops, wogs and greasers and no one used to trust them because of prejudices, now the situation has changed and they are given the respect they deserve; Italians are now appreciated but remember that years ago we were treated even worse than new immigrants, without the new anti-racism policies we have now.
@@info_bot you would not cook pork lmao what are you on about
@@info_bot what a stupid comment that is
that warmed my heart when he just started naming all the costumers in the restaurant at the time, these people genuinely love what they do
Costumer
Costumer
Mr Benn was a costumer.
Black Country Boy here from North Carolina. Raised on pork, but an authentic English Breakfast gives me chills of pleasure…especially tomatoes!!!!!!!
i love the fact that the people who cooks the best english breakfast is italian
I would say it's far from the best, but being a family run business and a great atmosphere is what the charm is. Not the food. Spanish, Italians, Greeks, turks, Indians, french etc have cafes cooking English breakfast all over Britain.
I came down to the comments just to find this….l knew a non English person somewhere down here wouldn’t be able to resist making an obvious Anti-English comment just to be an asshole (l hope you feel better now). Also nobody used the word “best” they said “Authentic” big difference.
This is how you should treat your costumer, like a family not like a king
English breakfast and coffee with warm people around is a great way to start a day
I want to be treated like a king though.
Or a dictator, haha.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 one benefit to be a family is... You can eat without paying, like when visiting grandma.. it's all free food 😁
But as a King, you have to pay it 😁
Nerd in Disguise Coffee with a full English ??
Wash your mouth out 😂😂
Dan23 7 more like a nice strong cup of tea!
David Flower Yes mate definitely
A mother is cooking the food no wonder it's been going on for so long.
Love it
shes been here 60 years and still can't speak english. thats london for you!!
I visited Eggborough back in 2007 and I've got to hand it to you: boy that english breakfast is something else I tell you, extremely filling, delicious and surprisingly cheap, what can I say...: God bless Great Britain and their King.
My friend took me here in 2019 when I visited from New Zealand! Very fond memories - food was wonderful, and the staff were hilarious and lovely
“Everybody is sitting next to people they don’t know.”
I went immediately and looked at the date this was posted.
ok?
@@youdumbbetch9884 the coronavirus jokes are getting old
@@youdumbbetch9884 ok.
I did the same thing Taylor, When i heard that statement a pang of sadness went through me, the Corona lockdowns are destroying our community spirit. The cure is worse than the disease.
It won’t happen again for a very very very very very long time.
I love when the owner speaks English you can hear her cockney accent!! Then speaks in Italian and the same!! Gratzi
I'm from Bow 10 mins down the road near the Roman rd market and I've walked past this cafe hundreds of times, but never been in. There's a few pie and mash places on the Roman road too. It's eateries like on this video and the pie and mash places that are the soul and beating heart of cockney and east end London culture
One of my favourite places in London. The atmosphere is so indescribably warm and comforting. No matter how brisk the trade you never feel like you're unwelcome or making life harder for them.
I'm planning to visit my Aunt in London next year, hopefully when International travel returns to normal. Will put this on my list.
I wanna go!
The English breakfast looks like homemade food and this place feels like home. Love this place 💕
Makes me hungry!
Foodie Lah! Imagine paying money to eat out just for it to feel like eating at home
Its all dandy if you don’t know all their cheap highly processed breakfast comes from Bookers. But who cares, right?
innitgeeza well you ain’t going to the right spoon then
@@avigdonable bruh
Can't believe he did a that's what she / his wife said joke in the middle of the shoot !! 🤣😂🤣😂

@E A would you find grown middle aged woman making middle school your mom refferences attractive? The dude was probably nervous on camera but hopefully he doesnt need to force a penis joke every time he hears the word "big" or "small"
unbiased reality no no Nevio is like that ahaha ❣️❣️
unbiased reality in answer to your question, yes absolutely.
That was cringe worthy.
I can feel the love and passion they put in the food while im looking at this screen! I have to try this place one day and hug that old lady for the food 🔥
Any business that puts a smile and serves their community for a 100 years and continuing are legends!
4:45 "Even some celebrities have made their way here....like London's most notorious gangster."

@NARIN FOOD VLOGGER What's up? Show some love to my channel :)
Peaky Blinders probably
Hole in Dans Sock sounds like we got an American, can sniff you yanks out everywhere...
Funny how people glamorize white people crime isn't it?
My family often went here on the Bethnal Green Road, and we lived in Bow so it was about a 10-15 minute drive. I live in the USA now and so this unique cafe remains a great memory despite a 4,000 mile distance. The food was top draw, the ambience and warmth of the restaurant was even better.
👍
Yoo I’ve lived in bow pretty much my entire life! Yh Bethnal ain’t far at all. I was kinda surprised to see someone else mentioning bow especially on CZcams haha. Big up!
@@TecchyTutorials shout out roman road
Great to see a traditional English cafe serving the great English breakfast. It made me very hungry!
I wish I had a place like this around me, it looks like such a homely, warm place to be.
OMG, This place is the BEST! I went here last year... omg I wanna go back. Everyone, especially Nevio, was just as friendly as they were in the video too... It felt very homey.
When I visited this caf with my brother who lives around the corner, I was hesitant. The lady Anna is such a charmer and giving the old English service! She makes a good cuppa too!
the best experience at E Pellici is with the extremely welcoming friendly crew there trying to feed you with good food. Absolutely lovely. Love from Hong Kong ❤
Fun fact: They filmed the cafe scene for the film legend here which is really cool seeing as the krays use to go in there!.. they do the best coffee in the area but I go in mainly for the banter, these guys never fail to make me smile...
Knew I'd seen it in something!
Fun fact: Andrew I am your father... 😁
It says in the video that they used to go there
Big Charlie can I have another egg please?
Looking for this comment
This place is even featured in SortedFood channel about the best English Breakfast in London. It’s packed and rammed everyday and seems very homey. Would love to go there someday
I believe you will get there someday!
I’m so glad you mentioned Sorted! That’s how I found out about these guys
Rockstar Eater thank you so much!
AimyS91 no problem! :)
Wow those pork sausage looks good in the video.
I went here a few weeks ago and it was life changing!!!!! Absolutely amazing cafe and amazing staff!!!
Much respect to the family running this restaurant.
Nev and the family are amazing...treasures of Bethnal Green
Amazing vibe and warmth and energy. If I'm ever in London, I will go there. But, it's a long way from home. The breakfast looks like it would fill you up for the whole day!
Such places make the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.
I'm blown away. These type of places are just normal for us even outside of London.
Nice
I just finished eating and that breakfast still looks amazing.
Hard work, passion and legacy. Great. 👏🏾
I was at this amazing establishment yesterday and had the full works, let me tell you it was out of this world, best breakfast ever! They're also such nice people, I was actually quite sad to leave. Can't wait to make the journey there again!
Couldn’t help but simply smile at this story. A London institution, and I’ll be coming to visit for sure! Just goes to show that Italians make the best breakfast!!
They make the best food full stop. I love Italian cooking.
Had the Full English Breakfast on my visit to London in 2018 and Mamma María gave me a slice of bread pudding on my way out, bellisimo.
Americans starts making pizza pasta
Italians :- Authentic English breakfast
Underrated comment 🤣🤣
Very proud of them as an Italian..lovely place ..nice to see that It hasnt changed..will like to visit one day👏👑🇮🇹 as for black pudding in south Italy in the old days they would make something simalar.
Anche qui al nord una volta facevano una salsiccia chiamata " moretta " fatta appunto anche con sangue di maiale. Mi pare però che ne sia stata vietata la produzione per motivi igienici
OMG, I want to visit England again just to go there. That breakfast looks amazing!
I’ve seen this place sooo many times and never knew it was a cafe 🤦🏽♀️ I was outside this place during lockdown and there were still a line of people waiting for food they were selling from a hut hole. I will have to try it after seeing this 😄
Same. I used to live down Bethnal too😂
Amazing, Italian guys shows how to cook a real breakfast !
everything is authentic, original and proper excpet this accent..but the conversation in Italian is simply beautiful..
Good to know that if I ever went to England, breakfast would be a meal I would have absolutely no problem with. Everything about the dish appeals to me.
"look at all this delicious food on this plate!"
*End of video:* _plate is still full of food_
My plate would already be empty, cause I am a rockstar eater!
An English breakfast made by people who don't even want to speak English.
@@nerychristian who've been cooking English breakfasts since 1900. Take your xenophobia elsewhere.
C4-Tokes They (she and her crew) probably ate it all after shooting the video.
@@nerychristian shut up enoch
Incredible! I got so hungry watching this brilliant episode of real Full English Breakfast. I will be making a visit to them after COVID.
Great little film. Lovely to see places like that still thriving.
On my ‘to do’ list for places to visit. On my next day off from work I will definitely visit for that wonderful full English 🍳☕️
Pellicci's and you will meet good genuine People, and enjoy the best food in London.
en encanto la sra italiana , toda la vida en la cocina, un ejemplo de mujer , seguro ella es la que manda en la casa, tambien que bonito la familia italiana muy unida como en mexico, un abrazo a todos
I am coming to visit this place soon. wow since 1900 impressive
When I lived in London 1999-2001 I found out about the place and dropped by on a Saturday morning. Very tasty meal as I recall, and I sat next to some folks, and we chatted about it and the history, and decided to head out for some fun, wound up in several bars and a house party or two, went quite late. Looking forward to going back there on my next trip to the UK.
Used to go here all the time as I’m from Bethnal Green miss this place now I live in Cornwall. Best breakfast anywhere
And I'm sure ur doing ur best to blend in to ur new surroundings,Which means meeting the locals and using local businesses..Now I no longer live in the UK,but I was born in Stepney and lived beside Victoria Pk for 10 yrs..And my oldest sister has lived in Bethnal green(near Columbia Rd for 30 odd yrs)
But over the yrs u saw a change with many of it's new imports arriving from all over the country(London has always attracted people from everywhere)But unfortunately,for the most part all they do is sample what these area's have to offer(like Pelliici's Cafe -one of many decent Cafe's to be seen at one time)But at best they have no inclination to get to know the locals(if there are any to be found) or at worst really couldn't give a monkeys f##k for them.
Oooh Cornwall is an amazing place used to go there every year honestly the community is great and the costs are also good so many beaches and food places 10/10 whish I could still go there but I'll have to wait another 4-6 years to go there again and it won't be the same as before unfortunately
Love this piece. I've seen Legend and very much admired Tom Hardy's portrayal of the Krays. Little did I know that the restaurant I'd seen in the film was the actual one where they went for breakfast. I really appreciate a family owned business that's been around for as long as this. May it continue for many more years.
Was this cafe in the Tom Hardy film?
@@cakepudding3220 Yes, it was.
Good luck to them. Such places are indeed jewels in the crown of any neighbourhood.
English breakfast is a king and Pellici is a kingdom!
Looking forward to coming back to London next year, and definitely heading to E Pellici again for the English Brekky!
Oh very good job and look so delicious
This place is home away from home..Love it..Never been there
Next visit to London by God's Will. Be Blessed E - Pellicci family..
🥰🙏🌹❤️🥰😋😋😋😋😋
Perfectly cooked. And looked consistent. I'm impressed.
"And it's nice to see somewhere that doesn't change. You know, everywhere around here has changed so much over the last 25 years. You know, this is the same it's been for 100 years." Much to think about.
Went there on the other day, so happy it's back after lockdown! I was so full, I could barely walk, perfect
Love the community spirit in there. That's what's missing from society these days
I've been to this place , fantastic customer services amazing food.
Feels like having a bit of breakfast at me Nan's. I'm born and raised in Texas not sure where this accent came from. Seriously my nest London trip, I would most definitely find E. Pellicci and have breakfast. Over 100 years, amazing!
Two countries in the world I wish to visit, England (Well, the UK actually) and Italy. When I go to London, I'll be sure to remember this restaurant. Breakfast can be served anytime of the day, in my opinion. It feeds not only the body but the soul too. Thank you Food Insider for these in-depth videos of "Mom and Pop" diners. They are very pleasant to watch. Hint: A little more of the food would be perfect..to balance the wonderful stories of these hard working restaurant owners.
Full English used to be what I asked for lunch or dinner growing up. Preferred cereal for my brekky!
If you go to Italy and end up in Bracciano (it's a little town outside Rome that I grew up in after leaving England as a child) - on the top of Via Claudia is a fantastic pizzeria. Right across from the gelateria at the junction. Can't miss it.
I ate here a few weeks ago and it was one of the high points of my visit to London. Nevio is brimming with goodwill and bonhomie. I sat at the exact same table right next to the door to the loo.
Despite its nefarious history, the Whitechapel area is one of the more pleasant neighborhoods; it was certainly one of the cleanest as well.
PS-E. Pellici is "cash only" so be forewarned.
I used to work in Spitalfields and I would go to Pellicci's for lunch. Great place, lovely food, and amusing chats with Nevio.
It's every London Kitchen with a heart beat, a clue, and the basics
Como me gustaría probar este desayuno. Looks delicious!
0:05
Waitress: Do you want a little or a lot of salt?
Customer: I'd like an ocean of salt.
That was (hopefully) cheese..
5e1enium we don’t have cheese on our English breaky
@@kylie9687 I know mate, but that cannot be salt, surely?!
5e1enium absolutely not. Maybe a sprinkle but not the way this woman did it.
But then I used to have a lot of vinegar and a pinch of salt on my English breaky
Edit:: I hope it’s not salt. Otherwise that man is not going to be enjoying his food.
Couldn’t it be Parmesan? Since they serve lasagna and other Italian food? At least I hope it is.
I was eating in there back in the 80’s…nice to see some things don’t change amongst it all.
That breakfast looks amazing.
The most authentic English breakfast... made by the most Italian family in England. Nice job, Insider.
No it's not, hash browns are an American ingredient, shouldn't be on the same plate as the rest
0:33 I wish my life is this happy.
Yes absolutely. We don’t really have full English breakfast‘s very often. If you did, I think you’d be quite unwell pretty quickly. It’s difficult to put precise number on it, but I have maybe between two and 12 English breakfast in a year. Often, I’ll grab it when I’m staying away at a hotel for work or something or occasionally, there is a café not far from where I live, and if I were to go there, I would pretty much certainly order a full English breakfast whatever time of day. Glad you enjoyed
Im 47yrs old. Im 98% sure i went 2 this cafe back in the early/mid 90s with my dad and his mates, my dad used 2 work in BG. Gr8 breakfast then we had and judging by this vid i really want 2 visit again. Bethnal Green isnt my local area, im from Woodford so im hardly ever over there, but im definitely gonna jump in me car one dy and head over 2 Pellicci .
Meant to be going to London in August fora concert that was cancelled last year. Definitely going to be checking this out if they survive the "current situation"... Looks almost as good as the Northern and Scottish breakfasts.
So, in East London, the best Cockney English breakfast is cooked by Italians?🤣🤣🤣
If the Krays ate there, I'd eat there
Seems so. A Londoner doesn’t necessarily need to be an English person
@@gibsonms I see your point because I live in a multicultural city, however I find it amusing that a foreign chef is the best interpreter of a Cockney English Breakfast.
@Richard Wagner they are just talking of best interpreters of a Londoner breakky, no mention of quality or nourishment.
there is such a thing as an italian english man, dunce.
Love when she says sausage, proper cockney accent. Then back to Italian 😍
May they last another hundred happy years .
God bless E.Pellicci .
💫✝️✨
Always love a full english breakfast ..... and this looks delicious !!! 🤤👍
I eat delicious food for free in LA!
Doesn't it have beans?
Makes me want to go to London just to try a breakfast 🍳
Yeah, Ive been in. Just across from Weavers Field on the BGR. Lovely food, lovely people. Highly recommended
Had breakfast here this morning, not been in ten years or so. Was just the best!!!
London is a city, sometimes, I felt just like a home to everyone. Shop owners are kind and friendly, people are always trying to help you. I feel it's not all about English breakfasts, it's more about the warm temperature inside. I still miss the city, cuz it was the most friendly city ever
You trying to get the pipe?
It's clear you were just a visitor...
@@RaiderNation327 you want my pipe?
@@ReizokoRyu the one that you're sitting on? No thanks
@@RaiderNation327 yes, it is very heavy and long. Are you sure?

👍👌👏 Best host/interviewer! Great Cafe with great people too of course.
I love the food, it make me hungry
With that amount of breakfast, I could've skipped lunch.
You little stomach guys. That breakfast would get destroyed in 15 minutes tops.
@Lucas Muller thanks man it's a right of passage for men
i would down that easily when i was 16 but at 25 now i’d probably struggle to finish all that
Even though it is healthy, I can't understand people who eat large breakfast meal or even meat in the morning.
Early morning i barely can drink a cup of tea a small cheese sandwich.
One time I ate a heavy breakfast like this video, I felt nauseous all day.
@@HelloWorld-qn3wp That amount of fat and processed meat isn't healthy lol
Wow, beautiful looking cafe..
what a top bloke nev! mucho love mate🌟💕
