Pellicci.. My favourite confort food and breakfast place whenever i'm in London. My first time at Pellicci was in 1968, a 17 year old in london waiting to join my second ship (Merchant Navy) and loved it ever since.. Good old Nevio still the same greeting patrons with his very own smile and carachter.. The Cannelloni.. Reminds me of Mamma maria Bless her soul.. Thks for bringing me memories Darren as i haven' t been to london for some time now
Thank you so much. It brought back precious memories of lunchtimes when I was a kid at school in Bethnal Green. I couldn't afford much but what I had was always delicious.
HI Darren Another excellent video I have seen other people using that place and have made the same great comments about the food there. From what you had looked really tasty to.
You didn’t need words, looked absolutely wonderful food and could tell by your face. Italian food is my favourite and again you could tell it was made with love by Pellicci’s . Legend is a fantastic film by the way.
Easily the best review on this legendary Cafe, its usually about the fry up there. Thanks DJ that was off the charts. Will deffo try out when down in London! Cheers keep em coming DJ. Quality.
I'm thrilled you made this video. Seen this place pop up many times on RUclips but was hoping you'd review it. The meal looked delicious and now I want to visit that place. Thank you for sharing sweet xx😊
Love their breakfasts and visit whenever we’re in London - looks like a lunch date is needed - loved seeing the familiar faces - felt like we were there with you 👍
Looks superb. Reminds me of a scene from Hi Di Hi all those years ago when Ruth Madoc announces on the tannoy that it’s Italian night in the camp canteen tonight - spaghetti bolognese and chips! 😂. New to your channel but love it. Well done
I'm not a lover of Italian food bar a good plate of Spaghetti or Spag Bol, but I'll always watch your reviews because of your presentation, relaxed, non derogatory and honest. Thanks DJ.
What a fabulous place to go eat a proper family business you can hear the owner interacting with his customers fantastic not many places like that left sadly fabulous channel Darren
That looks so delicious and a proper winter warmer. To the person who mentioned freebies, so what? Must be jealous and what difference does it make? It’s nobody’s business. Keep eating and enjoying Darren, it’s so good you went there as it seems ages since you last did a vlog from there.
Great shout mate 😉 this is one of my old haunts when growing up and living in the east end but iv never eaten Italian their only fry ups so great shout. Propa gaff from donkeys ago 😉
Hi Darren that looks like proper Italian comfort food , i really need to get myself down to the big smoke at some point and try all these amazing places , ur a lucky fella god bless , great content
Cannelloni and chips!! Carb heaven DJ! Love love love! It looked utterly delicious and plenty of bolognese sauce to dip ya chips in! Really good comfort food too! Great vid DJ! Til the next one! 🍟🍜🍽️💜
Darren I absolutely love your videos - your presentation is great, the food looked absolutely fantastic the only trouble I’ve had with all the videos I’ve seen so far I end up feeling hungry. It’s a shame I don’t live in London anymore. BTW the bike is lovely. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great cafe great staff and so much fun we went Easter sat 20 of us waiting outside ordered the food and she came out to take our order no paper just memory 😮😮
At last, a food reviewer that does not have a breakfast there. So much more to places like this thN breakfadt. Food looked delish. Good review Darren thanks.
Loved this video mate and your food looked out of this world. Its interesting you came here as i follow a couple pf other food reviewers as well as yourself. One of them being a fellow Londoner like you called Gary Eats. Not sure if you've heard of him or not but he goes to this Pellici's and it's actually his favourite cafe/restaurant out of all that he's been too. He loves their Spaghetti Bolognese and has said exactly the same as you about the quality of food and how welcoming and friendly the staff are here. Like you he's very honest so it just goes to show what an amazing place Pellici's is. Be great if the 2 of of you did a video together buddy as you both love top quality food no matter what the price is and are very similar minded. Thanks again mate and looking forward to catching up with more vlogs over next couple of days👍
That food looks amazing! I have been for breakfast which was an amazing experience and one of the best breakfasts I have had. I was back in London last month and really wanted to have the Lasagne, but a mix up with the City boat tour meant I missed the closing time (on the boat for 90 minutes instead of 30!) - Next time!
Looks great. The place is always manically busy when I try to visit though. I might have to try off-peak hours. I ended up at the Cafe 338 next door last time and it was pretty decent to be fair.
Darren it seems the world, his wife and her dog have all turned up and filmed at Pellicci.And yes mainly for a breakfast. Your cross cuisines Cannelloni & Real Chip's ❤ Spot on😊 Excellent video, maybe come back again and show another winning dish❤ I'll never tire of seeing quality food. Cheers Allan&Family
Until I saw a video on this place I had never considered adding pesto into bolognese when I’m eating it, now I do it whenever I can, absolute revelation! 😂
London and the City used to be full of Italian run sandwich shops, coffee bars and restaurants. Sadly many have disappeared to be replaced by eastern European establishments of inferior quality. Looks a great welcoming place.
DJ never been to El Pellicci's but The Regency use to be my local and imho its fantastic. Now the Kennington Cafe is my local, good but not in the same class.
You know at first I thought, chips ... okay very italian. But when they brought out your main meal I thought to myself who wouldn't want to dip a chip in that! Good choice DJ ❤as always mate
They need to put a folded paper serviette under the dish to stop it moving about so much! It looks great though. Being Italian - they know what they are doing with regards to that type of cuisine.
Another enjoyable video Darren, I have been coming here since a small kid in the 80's and such top quality food! + my folks first eat in here in the early 70's-though they always walked past it for years beforehand! And not just one of the best cafes in London but in UK! BTW-your account been hacked-on your last video got a reply about messaging you on Telegram.
Fantastic! I think you’re on a really great roll DJ. You’ve always been great on both channels but I think over three last few weeks in particular this has moved to another level. Hoping that you can crack the RUclips ‘code’ to get the massive audience you deserve
There’s a place in Sutton “South London” called “fillings”that does the most wonderful “chicken biryani”where the meat is still on the bones that keeps its texture.Give it a go and keep up with the great content 👍 0:25
That looked good mate. Love the way the Italians DNA makes them the good hosts, chefs and all round affable people they are👍🏼. Should have took Daisy mate he’d have been all over you👍🏼😂😂😂.
@DJ's, I went there yesterday, for the first time!!! I was sat on the next table over from you! I'm Italian by descent and am 71 in a few weeks: have had plenty of FEB's so decided to go Italian as well, like you. The FEB's looked super it has to be said, saving that for next time. I had the chicken escalope with broccoli cheese and chips, was piping hot, have to say I was a little underwhelmed by it tbh BUT I also asked them to do a toasted ciabatta with fried tomatoes and a helping of the bolognese sauce for me. OFF THE FRIKKING CHARTS, mate, otfc - the bolognese was legendary. Had a good laugh with the staff, who were superb, and groups of customers, who were all extremely pleasant and the vibe inside was great. RECOMMENDED.
This reminds me of Arthur’s back in the day on Kingsland Rd. Now Arthur could read you the menu off the top of his head like a hip hop rapper 😉 and you couldn’t order chips with your fry up either only served chips after 11:30 😂😂 another proper east end cafe..
Darren that looked so delicious with a capital D.

Can you remember the Terminus cafe in Shoreditch near Arnold Circus owned by Tina?
Thank you Darren for another amazing revisit. Love the opening Sicilian (Godfather) tune. No stray Krays there just pure Corleone magic
HI Darren Another excellent video I have seen other people using that place and have made the same great comments about the food there.
From what you had looked really tasty to.
Great to feature their Italian/lunch dishes, Darren. The cannelloni and chips looked tasty. 👍

Hi m8. Use the stand outside there when I was a kid to get my Sarsaparilla drink. I lived near Victoria Park. The good old days DJ. Enjoy buddy

Oh my days!! That looks amazing!! I've been poorly all day but I could really demolish a portion of that!!😮
Get well soon

Just checked the prices what incredible value fantastic
ITS DEFO ONE OF THE BEST FOR ALL ROUND FOOD ! FANTASTIC 👊🏴

Your cross cuisines Cannelloni & Real Chip's ❤ Spot on😊 Excellent video, maybe come back again and show another winning dish❤ I'll never tire of seeing quality food. Cheers Allan&Family
I like the spinning bowl!
😂😂
Love Italian food,that cannelloni looked amazing.😋😛☺️
Until I saw a video on this place I had never considered adding pesto into bolognese when I’m eating it, now I do it whenever I can, absolute revelation! 😂
Cracking video dazza no mention on wonnie and wedgie kway then you dropped it in last minute !
That looked great , proper Italian food. Looked very nice . Home made fries looked good as well. Nice one Darren.🙏🏼👏🤩⭐️💙😜
Chips, not fries
4:30 "Look at those.. tubes" was well timed DJ haha... 🧐👀
That looked great although I don't think I would order chips with it. OTC!
Great food and no background music... just the punters chatting. Great video.. and as always, keeping it real.
London and the City used to be full of Italian run sandwich shops, coffee bars and restaurants. Sadly many have disappeared to be replaced by eastern European establishments of inferior quality.
Looks a great welcoming place.
made me recall that line “Stepping out to Angelucci’s for my coffee beans..” from Wild West End , Dire Straits
Thanks DJ really enjoyed that
Glad you enjoyed it
DJ never been to El Pellicci's but The Regency use to be my local and imho its fantastic. Now the Kennington Cafe is my local, good but not in the same class.
That looks lovely 😊 but that bowl was making my anxiety go through the roof !! 😂😂😂 it wouldn’t keep still!! 😂 much love as always beaute ❤❤❤❤
You know at first I thought, chips ... okay very italian. But when they brought out your main meal I thought to myself who wouldn't want to dip a chip in that! Good choice DJ ❤as always mate
When are you getting down to my restaurant for a review. Tarantino in Brentwood come one lunch time in the week when it’s quiet, I will look after you
Ping me an email - darrenjohnOTC@gmail.com
They need to put a folded paper serviette under the dish to stop it moving about so much!
It looks great though. Being Italian - they know what they are doing with regards to that type of cuisine.
I totally agree!
Looks good
Another enjoyable video Darren, I have been coming here since a small kid in the 80's and such top quality food!
+ my folks first eat in here in the early 70's-though they always walked past it for years beforehand!
And not just one of the best cafes in London but in UK!
BTW-your account been hacked-on your last video got a reply about messaging you on Telegram.

O my god that is a big thumbs up 👌💯👍
Every time you’re blowing it I am too lol looks lush Darren keep up the good work 💪🏼

Great reveiw Darren Pellici is a real gem with so much history behind it. How much did it cost? Keep up the good work really enjoying the channel! 👏
That looked incredible. I grew up eating Italian food..so I know.
Just made fly.on the wall documomenty on e pellicci with outstanding food 🍲 dj wife said has have 10 🎉😊
When you said you could taste cumin, did you mean fennel? I have just never heard of cumin in ragu before.
No
@@DJsFoodTravels Succinct. Okay. Cumin. Who knew.
Imagined it to look different.
But as long as it tasted the part bellisimo. ❤❤ bono bono 😋🍷🍴👌
E Pellicci is legendary. Their breakfasts are great and so is the lasagne and ham egg & chips. Go for the atmosphere. Thanks for reviewing here DJ.
So good!
Good man Darren
That looked great DJ but you should have gotten yourself a garlic bread to dip mate.
£16.40 for their full breakfast. Jeez Louise, London prices!
Great review Darren mostly Breakfasts reviewed nice to see you having traditional Italian Pasta with Chips
Off the Charts ❤
If I had a tenner for every time you said Italian in this video I would have been able to buy a weeks shopping !
That looked good mate. Love the way the Italians DNA makes them the good hosts, chefs and all round affable people they are👍🏼. Should have took Daisy mate he’d have been all over you👍🏼😂😂😂.
Taken her before - unfortunately really difficult to park
Fabulous!!
Proper proper food❤️😁😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dad would treat us, occasional Sat give Mum a cooking rest.
Do they do sunday roasts there mate ?
What did the unattached pasta say to the pizza? I'm feeling cannelloni tonight !
Looked so good
OMG DJ,that’s bloody hot but looks absolutely delicious.
Enjoy buddy 😃👍
Amd the price was?
I showed you
@@DJsFoodTravels
You didn't show the price at all!
