The best food, the best atmos, the best staff.
We were made so welcome from the moment we walked in to Pelliccis "have we been before?", "where do we live?". Plus the place looks incredible, with art deco.
You may find yourself sitting right next to a stranger eating their fry up, so if you like to keep yourself to yourself only go in if you're feeling brave.
The food is amasing, proper bacon, proper italian home cooked food!
I just wish my wallet and my waistline could afford to go to Pelliccis more often.

If this cafe were a man, I would marry it. I used to work just opposite E Pellicci, and would have lunch there every day. Bad for the arteries, so very good for the soul.
The menu features the usual cafe staples, basic food done well, and the desserts are a glorious throwback to the nursery food of yore (jam roly poly pudding anyone?). It's the atmosphere that really makes the place - it has been owned by the same Italian family since Edwardian times, and they are an absolute delight. You are made to feel like a regular from the minute you step through the door. One day I showed up carrying a load of circus equipment - hoops, clubs, diabolos, that sort of thing - and when my cappuccino arrived it had a picture of a diabolo made from cocoa on the top! You just don't get that sort of thing at McDonalds.

Possibly the best cafe in the world. I used to eat in here pretty much every other day, until my stomach broke. Now I save it for Saturdays.
