"A daytime Italian cafe in Bethnal Green that’s been open since 1900, E. Pellicci runs on strong cuppas, winking innuendos, and various formats of fried bread. It’s a high-energy caff where you can indulge in the biggest (and possibly best) fry-up of your life at circa 8am or a truly monstrous pool of lasagne come afternoon. It’s big portions with a side of personality, and one of our favourite spots for a good old-fashioned escalope sandwich." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
