Classic Cafes: Pellicci, Bethnal Green, London

I had many greasy breakfasts at Pellicci and I couldn’t have described it better. So here it is, an Ode to Pellicci, originally posted on Classic Cafes

E Pellicci, Bethnal Green Road E2

The mighty Pellicci. The bollocks! Best service. Best building. Best atmosphere. Good food. A throwback to another century. From the yellow and chrome Vitrolite exterior to the warm wooden interior this is an unbelievable Deco classic. Every part of this superb caff should be held in trust for the nation. The jaw-dropping marquetry interior – like something out of the Empire State Building – was crafted by Achille Capocci in 1946. See Pellicci and die!
