PIN E.Pellicci

Historical Greasy Spoon

This is a lovely, authentic East End restaurant founded in 1900. When the owner of the cafe decided to leave, Mr. Pellicci bought it from him and with some help from his wife, Elide, the couple managed to run the business successfully whilst bringing up seven children simultaneously.

E. Pellicci cafe & restaurant has been awarded Grade II listed status by English Heritage. After Mr. Pellicci’s death in 1931, Mrs. Elide Pellicci continued to run the cafe and her initials were used for the name of the cafe - E. Pellicci. They are still noted in chrome along with her portrait inside the café. Mr. Nevio Pellicci Snr, who was born upstairs, ran the business after Mrs. Elide Pellicci until he passed away in 2008. Mr. Nevio’s wife, Maria,now heads the business today. She has been cooking since 1966 and her charm with the customers makes her a perfect successor.
