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.
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
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.
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 thrilled you made this video. Seen this place pop up many times on RU-vid 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😊
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.
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.
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 👍
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! 🍟🍜🍽️💜
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.
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.
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
As an Italian I feel deeply offended , how they can call those Cannelloni ? How my ancestors would say , that's not even good for the dogs . Maybe once this place was Italian now it's just like any other pseudo Italian places .
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.
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 😮😮
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.
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👍
I think E Pellici is the most overrated breakfast cafe anywhere in the UK. There's noting necessarily wrong with it but the fried breakfast is nothing more than average and no different to what you can get at 1000 other players. Doesn't deserve the OTT publicity over numerous other independents.
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
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
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! 😂
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👍🏼😂😂😂.
My wife just asked me what I wanted for my dinner after that video said cannelloni with Bolognese sauce, breakfast dinner and evening meal until I get over the craze, then never cannelloni again.
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 😉
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.
Next it will be back to the Regency Cafe, again! "Who better to cook an Italian dish than Italians?" And who better to add chips to an Italian dish than an Englishman!
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!
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.
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.
I think the intro music is too heavy and serious, although dramatic. Perhaps something lighter and more modern would do the trick and not frighten the newbees away! Great vlog. The food looked yummy. That chef knows what they're doing alright.
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 RU-vid ‘code’ to get the massive audience you deserve
