Established in 1900, E Pellicci – a charming, family-owned Italian restaurant in London’s East End – has seen off two World Wars, a global pandemic, and 125 years of flux in the city’s most chaotic neighborhood.

From their famous full English breakfast to authentic cannelloni, there are plenty of reasons people have been going back to E Pellicci for generations.
