I have a massive smile on my face through all your videos Gary; today is no different. I’ve had a rubbish few months and you and your videos cheer me up every time. Thank you so much!
Thank you very kind and I agree with the other kind comments you have received, If you every feel down send me an email and I will call or see what I can do to help. Really take care 👍
This was the one i was waiting for and Gary (looking very dapper today!) didn't disappoint. Food looks amazing, but also great emphasis on the service , that is why people were queuing to get in. No service charge and you get a delicious complimentary bread pudding to take with you! Man I'm sold! People let's get Gary to 100k subs this year and a well deserved YT silver button. Then who knows...maybe Gary will have a special edition ep for reaching the milestone.
Oh I am drooling now, I love spaghetti bolognaise. You look very happy Gary. Starter amazing. Restaurant beautiful, art deco my favourite. Spag Bol looks gorgeous, I can taste it. I agree Parmesan, lots of it. This is so enjoyable watching you enjoying the food and the ambiance. One of the best reviews.
Great review Gary. Pellicci's is on my bucket list as every food reviewer has given Pellicci's a stellar review. Their bread pudding is apparently the best, especially with double cream.
Pellicci's as you've discovered, is an institution. One of the few reasons I regret moving away, as this was my local cafe and never ate there as much as I should have. But enough to know just how good it is! Always great food, and service. A well deserved 10.
Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman. Well my first comment tonight is that iv heard Blacklock are very nervous about you going here and fear they could be knocked off there top spot 😄. Some of the other points i loved were the fact that they treat every one like family, its so nice when you have such welcoming places. I must admit i was impressed with the spaghetti bolognaise, its an easy dish to make but a difficult one to get right, and having it without parmesan is a sin in my book. Re Mr Cameraman today or shy boy as he's known, a great place like E Pellicci's and he has a bacon Sandwich !! tell him he's a philistine from me 🤣 Chris.
What can I say Chris he was totally out of order, he know I wouldn’t touch it that’s why😳…. It is a really close call. Breakfast then dinner, actually that would be a great video idea 💡👍
The energy of that place came through the screen and into the room here! Especially the birthday song 😅. What a lovely place and another one for the list. Great video as always Gary (Cameraman too).
This is a very good cafe. Always good for breakfast. Never had anything else apart from the EXCELLENT bread pudding which I get to take away after breakfast, so I'm excited to see this one. Excellent call going for the Spaghetti Bolognese as it's a great benchmark dish. The croquettes looked absolutely delicious. I love things that are as crispy and crunchy as advertised. The spag bol, that is a BIG portion and good value. It's a big 10 from me. I always have parmesan on my Bolognese and a bit of extra pepper. No service charge. The way it should be. Great review Gary.
I'm 70 and Italian by descent: in my parents' house we never had spag bol: dad especially [his mum, a superb cook, from Ravello] and my mum from Amalfi didn't like it, too messy to eat BUT the bolognese sauce on toast or top quality sausages cooked in tomato sauce with the spaghetti was a frequent and luscious alternative. Y U M!!!!!! Pellicci's is on my bucket list, am drooling over the menu whilst typing this up. Great work as usual, @Gary Eats!!
What a winter warmer that was Gary,,smiles alround Italians are renown for good family values and good home made food,,i think E Pellicci's has it all in a nut shell superb all round. Good marks Gary well derserved given a rare 10/10,,tho i must say ill give your singing a 5.5 out of 10 lol,,really happy video Gary, off to cook some pasta 😋🍝🧥🧣🧤
Thank you so much for sharing your experience today Gary. The quality of the croquettes, bolognaise, spaghetti, pesto sauce and parmesan cheese was outstanding, as was the service and atmosphere. Glad the camera man enjoyed his bacon roll as well. This video was a great one to watch as experiencing a lot of problems with MS symptoms and it’s certainly cheered me up this evening. Apart from being half German, I have some Italian in my blood, so that cheered me up as well. All the very best and catch you soon Andreas 👍👍👍
Andreas. You're far too kind as per usual my friend. I'm really sorry to hear about your MS symptoms, if there's anything I can do to help then please email me :)
@@GaryEats Your videos do wonders for my moral. Keep doing what you do Gary, to bring joy and happiness to us all. You Tube has some gems and you are certainly one of them. Bless you Gary for everything you do 💎💎💎
Another winner Gary ( and CTP😊) Pellicci's has had more reviews than the " Mousetrap " And as of yet never a bad one 😊❤ Return customers are the mark of a good restaurant, add to that not all are locals who make the journey. When you start to sell Merchandise of your establishment, you are there ❤😊 and when you've been there for so long. And keep such high standards. Heaven on earth❤ You covered all the very best of the food,nothing to add,maybe could have shown the bacon 🥓 roll😂A slab of bread puddin' to take away bliss Many thanks chaps,always get satisfaction & enjoyment from the honesty that is now your benchmark. Up,up& away Allan&Family
As of Italian heritage, home made pastas make a massive difference, my mom never used water just egg yolks when she made her pasta. Homemade pasta in Italy was even better, told me it was the flour they used. Get yourself over to Italy, if you can get off the usual tourist areas you will find better food and much cheaper.
@@GaryEats A Gary's Italian Tour would be amazing. I'm planning on going to Naples this year just to basically eat! Would love to see you discovering hidden gems in little Italian towns.
Personally I can’t see that that pasta was home made, and there is really no point in making fresh pasta at a greasy spoon cafe … it’s probably advertised as home made spaghetti bolognese but I doubt very much they make there own spaghetti
@@marcd6897😂 haha sorry buddy … whilst pasta is easy to make the Spaghetti form isn’t, Pellici’s is basically a cafe it’s not fine dining, why would they bother making spaghetti from scratch, just pointing out Gary has probably misinterpreted the wording … Ciao Buonanotte 😴
Looks lovely Gary still waiting for your wolly hat to appear Italian food looks amazing and the croquettes yum love you are feeding the cameraman keep up the great work ❤
The spaghetti looked perfectly cooked and the meat sauce stuck to it perfectly. All that was missing was a glass, or two, of red wine. The parmesan cheese should have been sliced from a block of fresh cheese.
This is what all smaller restaurants/ cafes should strive towards. I've been there many many times, and it's always been a 10 great review as always. That 50k is creeping up fast, and it's still January 😂😂
Just seeimg you smile as you ate the food justified the 10/10 Gary! Its not often that I've come to a place that could do that, so I'm a little envious - especially with the ham & cheese croquets! Lol As for the Spag. Bol, I ALWAYS have to have parmesan on mine, otherwise it just doesn't taste authentically Italian - if I've no Parmesan, I always finely grate some of the Parmigiano Reggiano block cheese I keep in the fridge which, to be honest, always tastes better than the pre-grated parmesan bought from the supermarket! Lol
Great quality there Gary the Italians really know there stuff my mouth was watering especially with those croquettes. I bet you are glad you went back, nice to see a 1000 views in 21 minutes and 46k subscribers you must be very happy it just makes answering messages that more difficult, take care Gary until the next time, Gareth
Do you think the price was good, 25 quid for spag bol and some fried potato things? I don't. Lived in London all my 60 years, a tradesman and i know almost every street and cafe in this city and and i would never pay 25 quid for that. Sure, i bet it's good but i can get as good in other places for way less than half the price. You just have to know where to go.
Firstly, brilliant video again. It is almost impossible to explain this place.. it's not attentive service that you get in some places.. it's more.personal, and genuine, they genuinely care. And everyone has a photographic memory too... Nev spoke to me when I first went in, as he does, and the second time, months later he come over and asked if I had went to buckfast street just up the road, ( he suggested it on my first visit, as I'm Scottish 😆😆😆) that's before even going on about how good the food is. ❤
Evening Gary what a great place, love Italian everything! the atmosphere as well is usually always fun and a great laugh. Italian food is definitely my favourite. The croquettes looked great. Spaghetti looked great too, and very hot just how Iove it! glad you gave it 10/10. Thank you Gary no wonder you are happy! Suex
The spag Bol is tremendos. I’ve had it a number of times. I’ve never had the pleasure of having the croquets. Next time if I’m lucky. Great video as always.
My sons and I went there in August last year but couldn't get in because of the queue. It's probably my fault as it was a Saturday and most of those queuing were tourists. It's definitely a bucket list place and I'm determined to get in there this year, only now I'll be going on a weekday. Another great video, Gary, thanks for sharing.
I hope this is seen as a compliment Gary - what I love about your videos is you just come across as a normal bloke who you can also trust to tell the truth without being eccentric. No annoying editing or scripted videos. I’m getting SO many recommendations. Make sure to review some places in Kent btw - lots of great pubs and restaurants in the south-east. Cheers!
Oooh,those dishes looked so tasty. Just what you need on a cold day-although you probably should sit inside next time. Glad the cameraman was fed. I was thinking of starting a Go Fund Me for him. Poor little mite,shivering in the corner with just some crumbs for a blanket. Maybe a slight exaggeration.
I often imagine that he is filming from inside a little cage ,with some bad rogan josh for company. At least that place more than made up for the last shocker.
Great to see you looking so happy over a bowl of spaghetti . The quality of the food is incredible, far far superior to some fine dining places. Pellicci is a hidden gem, and if they did not consistently turn out good food, locals would not keep it going. Support independent cafes!
@@GaryEats Learning alot from your vlogs - some of it is quite sad in that so many people are prepared not to question how the food was produced. Also local cafes are more 'human' that the anonymous buffets - and it seems quite a few people are terrified of human interaction. Not you - you thrive on it.
@@markjones327 Totally agree spag bol is hard to beat! I make it with 1/2 pork mince and 1/2 beef mince, couple of bacon rashers cut into small pieces, lots garlic, onion, 1/2 sun dried toms and tin toms, wine and rosemary, s&p. It's so tasty, even offer it to Italians.
Brilliant thanks Gary for another excellent video, I think if you stick to homemade food it’s made with love you can’t go wrong and I definitely want to go to this place soon. It looks amazing no more buffets for you! Great haircut by the way.👍 You definitely made my mom‘s day today. She’s had a bit of difficult time and she really enjoys watching your videos so please give a shout out to Janet and keep up the good work can’t wait for the next video. Cheers.
Hello Janet, I’m really sorry to hear your having a bit of a difficult time at the moment. I really appreciate you watching my videos that is so appreciated, thank you so much 😊.
Gary another great video fella. My neck of the woods. Used the cafe back in the 80s. Haven't been since 2010. Going to go back ASAP. Keep up the good work fella.
Looked amazing Gary 👍🏾 Croquettes used to be a big thing but don’t see them much nowadays,pity as when done properly they are a great menu item, as you can testify 😊
As a fellow Italian this is making my mouth water . what a lovely place . im sure they are playing a game of cards out the back with the home made wine , looks like a real " come hungry leave happy " cafe . im defo going to visit .
The food looks great. Home made and plenty of it, as if you were eating at home. Makes all the difference. One thing that I have noticed is that the larger the place, the less quality and the higher prices are. Ok, perhaps not always, but pretty much so. A lovely place to visit. It is already on my list! Cheers Gary, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ah! That's a proper Italian cafe! Looked excellent and proper home made. I'd love to go there. I hope you're not offended but you don't look like you're used to eating spaghetti, that spoon was just getting in the way 🤣
Lovely place Gary been here few times , the food is cooked with love and so fresh mate , great spag Bol witb parmesan 🔥 great vid Gary hope your over your Delhi belly .
Every time I go to a cafe, I hope I'm stumbling across a gem like this. It's rarely the case, but good to know they do exist!! Thanks for another great vid.
Gotta love a good spagetti bolognese 😊, food looked delicious 😋 I had just eaten my tea and still this made me feel hungry 😂 I agree with you Gary you have to have parmesan cheese on your bolognese 😊❤, though my son used to call it stinky nappy cheese 😂❤
It looks good .... spaghetti bolgnaise is usually something I have at home or something my mother would make back in 80s ... along with chicken Kiev ... However the starter and main course looked very appetizing for a lunch meal - a little heavy - I might fall asleep at my desk after lunch, but no complaints ..... Good review, Gary .... Hope you have recovered from that buffet .... and Gordon Ramsay's curry.
Fantastic to see you back there and it seemed a lot of fun. Those gorgeous Croquettes would have won me over but the Bolognese looked lovely too. Never tried it with pesto before. Hope you return here for a round three review despite saying otherwise.
My eldest son lives in Bethnal Green and he regards Pelluci’s as the benchmark for breakfast and pasta. Regarding you question regarding parmesan on bolognese, it’s a bit like we say up here, ‘apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze’.
My sister took me there in the late 60s when I was about 12 and visiting London. The food was an eye-opener for a kid from Yorkshire, and the atmosphere was enthralling. What's most impressive about this place is how they have adapted to changing expectations in food service. All the "hail fellow, well met" stuff is new, and perfect for the social media types today. Very clever business people, who deserve all their success.
the EASIEST 10 ever!!! Along with BAR ITALIA in Soho (the Other London Italian Institution) my two fave London Cafes!! Another perfect review sir! GM Rich
I love Italian food and what you had looked delicious and authentic. I put parmesan and pesto on food. The spaghetti & sauce and croquettes i would definitely go for. I liked that place and have made a note of it and i hope to visit. Good one Gary👍
What a delicious 🤤 starter and main, absolutely fantastic gazza if I'm ever in bethnel green i will be heading in to that cafe 👍😋 another great video big gazza 👍🤤
Gary, E. Pelliccis déjà vu. I've never seen a bad review, the food is immense! Croquettes starter, looked extremely good! Spaghetti Bolognese, if we're going to be fussy, a tad more sauce in my opinion would have made it even better. Now the price lets be honest slightly over, but... If you're paying for quality food with a decent atmosphere, with attentive staff, then its totally worth it for the dining experience.. Of course its a 10 score. So glad Gary you decided to go back and try something else, instead of the usual TH-camrs doing the breakfast, it's what makes this channel stand out mate 👏 Already looking forward to seeing where you're going next! Cheers 🍻
Have to agree with you Tel, I don’t mind the price being more than usual if the food is superb and they always deliver. Thanks mate, much appreciated 😄
Absolutely love your videos gary 😁❤ always enjoy your reviews and they take my mind off things as i have been homeless since nov 22 & sofa surfing so your videos brighten my very dark days.. Keep up the fantastic work xxx
Oh lord!! I dont live in London but I so so so want to go there!! Gary - you do the best videos and I hope these amazing small family run businesses benefit from your fantastic reviews. No better publicity than vids or word of mouth. What an amazing ambassador you are for the non-corporate megalomaniacal chains...love Jxx
Oh wow Gary another perfect score to a perfect meal. That bolognaise sauce looked amazing. I could taste it. Love pasta and sauce. Omg who am I kidding love most food lol. The croquettes just looked so good. Gary it’s great to see when the food is good you have a great big smile on your face. Glad the cameraman had some food Thanks as always a well deserved score Take care Yep I’d be going back there too
So happy to know that Pelluci's is still going. I moved out of London over 30 years ago, but it was a regular haunt of mine back then. Also pleased that it still maintains it's high standard. Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Gary my self and my fiance love your channel. Thanks for been so entertaining. You are so compelling to watch and bring us a lot of joy when we are chilling out on a Sunday night. So excited for your 2024 adventures. lots of love Kate & Craig.
Those croquets looked outrageously good ! When I come to London , this fall - I’ll jot the name down. We appear to be staying in notting hill. Looking fwd to my return after 15 years! Love my visits Thanks Gary - looks like it made my list
Huzzah! A perfect 10! I was counting down the days, waiting for you to return to this wonderful restaurant. The food looked absolutely delicious and am glad you thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice to hear the cameraman ate something as well. I believe everyone should visit this family-run business once in their lifetime in my humble opinion. Take good care of yourselves and I look forward to your next food adventure.
Hi, just seen this video as I looove Italian food 😋 great review by the way!! But have you ever tried putting boursin cheese on top of spaghetti bolognese instead of parmesan??? Oh my God delicious 😋 😍 soft and creamy garlic cheese melted in the bolognese yummy 😋 you should try it!!!
What amazes me, is that considering the amount of reviewing that you do, you don't seem to put on weight. Also the time that you spend replying to comments, even from old posts. The walking backward line was a classic. Cheers from Bali.
Welcome Bali, thank you Steve I am starting to put on a bit of weight so need to be careful, I always try to reply to comments as I’m really grateful for people like yourself watching and commenting taking time out of your own day, take care 😊
This restaurant is at the top of my list when I visit London. Just thinking about the food there makes my mouth water. As always, your review is spot on.
I thoroughly loved this vlog like all you do .I have to say big smile on my face as Italian food has to be my favourite food.I’m such.over of all pasta but that spaghetti bolognaise was A1👌🏼.I only wished my screen had the smell’s coming through 😂I thank you again Gary for todays happy video and I give it whopping 10 out 10.take care I can’t wait for your next one ,until then night 😊💙
top video again gary , always great to see your videos mate keep them coming =) E pellicci is definitely on the to do list . dont forget to try the pheasant inn in harlington mate the steak pies are amazing

Looks lovely Gary still waiting for your wolly hat to appear Italian food looks amazing and the croquettes yum love you are feeding the cameraman keep up the great work ❤
Hi Jen I cannot believe how greedy he is getting 😂😂😂
I can just tell by the way it looks that the spaghetti bolognese tastes amazing. I always have mine with freshly grated parmesan.
Yes, probably the only oversight.
The spaghetti looked perfectly cooked and the meat sauce stuck to it perfectly. All that was missing was a glass, or two, of red wine. The parmesan cheese should have been sliced from a block of fresh cheese.
Agree on the cheese, but with a glass or bottle of red wine then it would be 20/10, I can’t do that lol 😂
Looks very cosy Gary! 😊 beautifully presented too! Yummy 😋
This was so good Helen 🌹❤️
This is what all smaller restaurants/ cafes should strive towards. I've been there many many times, and it's always been a 10 great review as always. That 50k is creeping up fast, and it's still January 😂😂
It is Chris and I’m really grateful, it is such a great place as you know 👍
Just seeimg you smile as you ate the food justified the 10/10 Gary!
Its not often that I've come to a place that could do that, so I'm a little envious - especially with the ham & cheese croquets! Lol
As for the Spag.

What a beautiful place, the food looked outstanding & the price was very good indeed. As a viewer. I would definitely give it 10

@@tilerman I thought it was a really good price. Perhaps you shouldn't go there & stick with what you know
Just love these type places Gary, so much character and history there and the food looks fantastic
Great call Kevin completely right 👍
Firstly, brilliant video again. It is almost impossible to explain this place.. it's not attentive service that you get in some places.. it's more.personal, and genuine, they genuinely care. And everyone has a photographic memory too... Nev spoke to me when I first went in, as he does, and the second time, months later he come over and asked if I had went to buckfast street just up the road, ( he suggested it on my first visit, as I'm Scottish 😆😆😆) that's before even going on about how good the food is. ❤

The spag Bol is tremendos. I’ve had it a number of times. I’ve never had the pleasure of having the croquets. Next time if I’m lucky. Great video as always.
Thank you very much you know how good this is Dave
What a fabulous little place.❤ . It all looked delicious and those potato croquettes looked amazing. I could eat a plate full of those on their own.
I fully agree Margaret the whole lot was amazing 🤩
What fantastic Italian food. I have put pesto into my bolognaise to use it up and it did give it some depth! Thanks Gary xx
I have tried that now, Sarah and it’s a fantastic idea. Definitely give it a go. Xx
My sons and I went there in August last year but couldn't get in because of the queue. It's probably my fault as it was a Saturday and most of those queuing were tourists. It's definitely a bucket list place and I'm determined to get in there this year, only now I'll be going on a weekday. Another great video, Gary, thanks for sharing.
Your welcome Simon, it is so busy 👍
I hope this is seen as a compliment Gary - what I love about your videos is you just come across as a normal bloke who you can also trust to tell the truth without being eccentric. No annoying editing or scripted videos. I’m getting SO many recommendations.
Make sure to review some places in Kent btw - lots of great pubs and restaurants in the south-east.
Cheers!
I really appreciate it mate. Be back down to Kent very soon (I do live there so)
Thanks Gary - I hope you are well after your previous video. Food looked fantastic. Next time in London I will give it a go.
All good thank you, you will enjoy 😊
Oooh,those dishes looked so tasty. Just what you need on a cold day-although you probably should sit inside next time.
Glad the cameraman was fed. I was thinking of starting a Go Fund Me for him. Poor little mite,shivering in the corner with just some crumbs for a blanket. Maybe a slight exaggeration.
😳
He was totally out of order eating on duty again it’s becoming a habit and a very bad one ☝️. But he deserves it all but never tell him 😂😂
I often imagine that he is filming from inside a little cage ,with some bad rogan josh for company.
At least that place more than made up for the last shocker.
Oh! Those crochets with bolognaise sauce! “Suits you sir”!
Great to see you looking so happy over a bowl of spaghetti . The quality of the food is incredible, far far superior to some fine dining places. Pellicci is a hidden gem, and if they did not consistently turn out good food, locals would not keep it going. Support independent cafes!
I completely agree with you :)
@@GaryEats Learning alot from your vlogs - some of it is quite sad in that so many people are prepared not to question how the food was produced. Also local cafes are more 'human' that the anonymous buffets - and it seems quite a few people are terrified of human interaction. Not you - you thrive on it.
Can’t beat a big bowl of spag Bol
With Parmesan 😋👌
@@markjones327 Totally agree spag bol is hard to beat! I make it with 1/2 pork mince and 1/2 beef mince, couple of bacon rashers cut into small pieces, lots garlic, onion, 1/2 sun dried toms and tin toms, wine and rosemary, s&p. It's so tasty, even offer it to Italians.
Is It hidden? I must have seen it on a dozen TH-cam channels!
What a fun time you had! Very infectious! Since watching your videos I’ve never seen you so animated! Thanks again for sharing! So enjoyed watching!
Thanks so much! 😊, really nice comment Sandria 👍
Legendary spot Gary, I would love to try out that menu
It was perfect 👍
Gary, I don't know what it is but we love your charisma. we recently followed your advice and visited here my wife and I loved it.
never change!
That is very kind to say but more importantly did you both have a good time and get some free bread pudding 😊
Brilliant thanks Gary for another excellent video, I think if you stick to homemade food it’s made with love you can’t go wrong and I definitely want to go to this place soon. It looks amazing no more buffets for you! Great haircut by the way.👍
You definitely made my mom‘s day today. She’s had a bit of difficult time and she really enjoys watching your videos so please give a shout out to Janet and keep up the good work can’t wait for the next video. Cheers.
If you send me an email I will do a proper shout out to Janet.
Hello Janet, I’m really sorry to hear your having a bit of a difficult time at the moment. I really appreciate you watching my videos that is so appreciated, thank you so much 😊.
Gary another great video fella. My neck of the woods. Used the cafe back in the 80s. Haven't been since 2010. Going to go back ASAP. Keep up the good work fella.
Thanks Wayne. Get down there mate, all the best.
14:40 Wow, Gary, that food looked absolutely beautiful, and plenty of it brilliant price definitely a 10 😊
Great call Paul thank you 😊
Love Italian food thanks gary for doing this review my mouth was watering I'm going to go for an Italian 😋
Have a great one Julie :)
Thanks
Thank you so much Jen. Very kind of you and come on you reds tomorrow!
Love Italian food ,it's amazing,and a 10 from me Gary 👍
Me too Andy. Was absolutely superb!
@@GaryEats congratulations,so many new subscribers,that's amazing,so pleased for you 👍
Gary eats, you are so cute singing along. You made me laugh you have a lovely personality. :-) The food looked delicious and obviously made with love.
Thank you so very much Mandy x
Looked amazing Gary 👍🏾
Croquettes used to be a big thing but don’t see them much nowadays,pity as when done properly they are a great menu item, as you can testify 😊
Absolutely and thanks for commenting again 👍
Don’t know how you make time to answer all these comments Gary with your output of videos. Much appreciated though 🙏🏾
Your welcome 🤗
Plenty of croquettes in tapas bars.
Yes I know, I should have said I meant potato croquettes 👍🏾😊
Another great video - when you put the pesto around the edge of the bolognese it really elevated the look of the dish
Thanks so much 😊
As a fellow Italian this is making my mouth water . what a lovely place . im sure they are playing a game of cards out the back with the home made wine , looks like a real " come hungry leave happy " cafe . im defo going to visit .
You will not be disappointed guaranteed 😊
The food looks great. Home made and plenty of it, as if you were eating at home. Makes all the difference.
One thing that I have noticed is that the larger the place, the less quality and the higher prices are. Ok, perhaps not always, but pretty much so.
A lovely place to visit. It is already on my list! Cheers Gary, thoroughly enjoyed it.
That’s not a bad observation didn’t think that way but you could be right 👍
I was on the fence until you said "Bread Pudding" Oh yes, worth the 10 Gary. Nice one.😀
It was so good Paul 😳
You’re so nice and polite,I really need to go to pelliccis, want the big breakfast and the croquettes.
You won’t be disappointed and thank you
Ah! That's a proper Italian cafe! Looked excellent and proper home made. I'd love to go there. I hope you're not offended but you don't look like you're used to eating spaghetti, that spoon was just getting in the way 🤣
Not at all haha. I don't eat much spaghetti!
This is what I love - no bs just simple food done well...
I really agree with you
Lovely place Gary been here few times , the food is cooked with love and so fresh mate , great spag Bol witb parmesan 🔥 great vid Gary hope your over your Delhi belly .
Glad you enjoyed it Mark. All good now Mark, thanks for asking. How are you?
@@GaryEats I’m fine thanks mate very busy working, we look forward to your posts every evening , when you going for a Jamaican 🇯🇲?
Your smile is so infectious, Gary. The meal looked very nice. Spag Bol is a popular dish... simple but delicious. Thanks for another great review
Thanks so much Pauline really kind to say, it was a simple meal but outstanding in flavours. I hope your all good 😊
Gary, That All looked absolutely "Delizioso! " Good afternoon from the U.S.A.
Good evening Jerry. Excellent!
Every time I go to a cafe, I hope I'm stumbling across a gem like this. It's rarely the case, but good to know they do exist!! Thanks for another great vid.
Oh they exist. Thanks Mat 😄
Wonderful place. The real secret isn't the place it's the staff and owners. Complete class
Great call Adrian 👍
That spaghetti looked really nice Gary good technique twisting on the spoon best way.👍🏻
Thanks Rob 👍
Gotta love a good spagetti bolognese 😊, food looked delicious 😋 I had just eaten my tea and still this made me feel hungry 😂 I agree with you Gary you have to have parmesan cheese on your bolognese 😊❤, though my son used to call it stinky nappy cheese 😂❤
Thank you 😋 Lol Trudy!!
It looks good .... spaghetti bolgnaise is usually something I have at home or something my mother would make back in 80s ... along with chicken Kiev ... However the starter and main course looked very appetizing for a lunch meal - a little heavy - I might fall asleep at my desk after lunch, but no complaints ..... Good review, Gary .... Hope you have recovered from that buffet .... and Gordon Ramsay's curry.
Fully recovered thank you, it was a little heavy for a lunch but so good 😊
Fantastic to see you back there and it seemed a lot of fun. Those gorgeous Croquettes would have won me over but the Bolognese looked lovely too. Never tried it with pesto before. Hope you return here for a round three review despite saying otherwise.
Haha, you want me to go back for desserts, I know you too well!
@@GaryEats Oh, darn, ya got me. 😂
No sauce in the bolognese, I know it’s not a real Italian dish but looked too dry to me!
Hi Gary, loved the review I really must visit Pellicci's and I heartly agree Parmesan should be included ... but Pesto ... I will have to try that !
Agree Steve I’ve never tried but always going forward 👌
My eldest son lives in Bethnal Green and he regards Pelluci’s as the benchmark for breakfast and pasta.
Regarding you question regarding parmesan on bolognese, it’s a bit like we say up here, ‘apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze’.
Very good David your son is very lucky 🍀
That spag bol looks so yummy making me hungry now
😋
My sister took me there in the late 60s when I was about 12 and visiting London. The food was an eye-opener for a kid from Yorkshire, and the atmosphere was enthralling. What's most impressive about this place is how they have adapted to changing expectations in food service. All the "hail fellow, well met" stuff is new, and perfect for the social media types today. Very clever business people, who deserve all their success.
Totally totally agree Ian 👍
the EASIEST 10 ever!!! Along with BAR ITALIA in Soho (the Other London Italian Institution) my two fave London Cafes!! Another perfect review sir! GM Rich
Great call Richard thank you 👍
I love Italian food and what you had looked delicious and authentic. I put parmesan and pesto on food. The spaghetti & sauce and croquettes i would definitely go for. I liked that place and have made a note of it and i hope to visit. Good one Gary👍
You will love it :)
What a delicious 🤤 starter and main, absolutely fantastic gazza if I'm ever in bethnel green i will be heading in to that cafe 👍😋 another great video big gazza 👍🤤
I have to tell you this is all about the owners as they are so welcoming in the café has a great vibe
That was a lovely review. Neither here nor there, the decor a bit dated. Perfect family cooking. Thanks for taking us along. Appreciated
Your welcome Jeff 👍
Great review Gary, that spaghetti Bolognese looked delicious! 😋👌
It was brilliant Mark 👍
Gary,
E. Pelliccis déjà vu.
I've never seen a bad review, the food is immense!
Croquettes starter, looked extremely good!
Spaghetti Bolognese, if we're going to be fussy, a tad more sauce in my opinion would have made it even better.
Now the price lets be honest slightly over, but... If you're paying for quality food with a decent atmosphere, with attentive staff, then its totally worth it for the dining experience.. Of course its a 10 score.
So glad Gary you decided to go back and try something else, instead of the usual TH-camrs doing the breakfast, it's what makes this channel stand out mate 👏
Already looking forward to seeing where you're going next!
Cheers 🍻
Have to agree with you Tel, I don’t mind the price being more than usual if the food is superb and they always deliver. Thanks mate, much appreciated 😄
Absolutely love your videos gary 😁❤ always enjoy your reviews and they take my mind off things as i have been homeless since nov 22 & sofa surfing so your videos brighten my very dark days.. Keep up the fantastic work xxx
That’s very kind to say. I’m sorry to hear about the situation you find yourself in, I really hope things improve quickly for you x
Oh lord!! I dont live in London but I so so so want to go there!! Gary - you do the best videos and I hope these amazing small family run businesses benefit from your fantastic reviews. No better publicity than vids or word of mouth. What an amazing ambassador you are for the non-corporate megalomaniacal chains...love Jxx
That’s so kind and appreciated Joe thank you so very much 👌
Oh wow Gary another perfect score to a perfect meal. That bolognaise sauce looked amazing. I could taste it. Love pasta and sauce. Omg who am I kidding love most food lol. The croquettes just looked so good. Gary it’s great to see when the food is good you have a great big smile on your face. Glad the cameraman had some food Thanks as always a well deserved score Take care Yep I’d be going back there too
Thanks so much this was excellent
So happy to know that Pelluci's is still going. I moved out of London over 30 years ago, but it was a regular haunt of mine back then. Also pleased that it still maintains it's high standard. Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh wow time flies doesn't it Sam and thank you
Wise decision moving out of London.
I could see the joy in every mouthful Gary! And YES, real Parmesan is a must.
Couldn’t agree more with you Christopher 👌
Hi Gary my self and my fiance love your channel. Thanks for been so entertaining. You are so compelling to watch and bring us a lot of joy when we are chilling out on a Sunday night. So excited for your 2024 adventures. lots of love Kate & Craig.
That means a lot Kate. Thank you! Hope you and Craig have a wonderful year.
thanks so much
Another first class review as always excellent 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
The content keeps coming and each video is as good as the last - love it. / That is really a definition of comfort food! / Fabulous ! Mark.
Thanks so much Mark!
Those croquets looked outrageously good !
When I come to London , this fall - I’ll jot the name down. We appear to be staying in notting hill.
Looking fwd to my return after 15 years! Love my visits
Thanks Gary - looks like it made my list
You will enjoy but it is seriously busy so pick your time 😊
Great true cafe. Brilliant place for breakfast. Enjoy
It really is! Thanks :)
Huzzah! A perfect 10! I was counting down the days, waiting for you to return to this wonderful restaurant. The food looked absolutely delicious and am glad you thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice to hear the cameraman ate something as well. I believe everyone should visit this family-run business once in their lifetime in my humble opinion. Take good care of yourselves and I look forward to your next food adventure.
Very kind to say… greedy cameraman 😂😂😂
Hi, just seen this video as I looove Italian food 😋 great review by the way!! But have you ever tried putting boursin cheese on top of spaghetti bolognese instead of parmesan??? Oh my God delicious 😋 😍 soft and creamy garlic cheese melted in the bolognese yummy 😋 you should try it!!!
Thank you for the suggestion, Sam. I will try that in the future.
What amazes me, is that considering the amount of reviewing that you do, you don't seem to put on weight. Also the time that you spend replying to comments, even from old posts. The walking backward line was a classic. Cheers from Bali.
Welcome Bali, thank you Steve I am starting to put on a bit of weight so need to be careful, I always try to reply to comments as I’m really grateful for people like yourself watching and commenting taking time out of your own day, take care 😊
Spaghetti is now on the menu for the weekend good job it looks fabulous nice job 👏
Hope you enjoy!!
This restaurant is at the top of my list when I visit London. Just thinking about the food there makes my mouth water. As always, your review is spot on.
Thank you Shirley it was spot on 😊
I thoroughly loved this vlog like all you do .I have to say big smile on my face as Italian food has to be my favourite food.I’m such.over of all pasta but that spaghetti bolognaise was A1👌🏼.I only wished my screen had the smell’s coming through 😂I thank you again Gary for todays happy video and I give it whopping 10 out 10.take care I can’t wait for your next one ,until then night 😊💙
Good night and thank you for your lovely comment 😊
Wow! The bread pudding alone makes it worthwhile.
It was lovely Jim 👌

Will do and thank you for watching 👍
What a great little place! Food looked so good, a proper gem of an eatery. I can tell how much you really enjoyed that Gary, yet another top review
Yes it was Matty I really enjoyed myself a little too much, got to go on diet soon 😂😂
@@GaryEats nooo!!!! However if you did you could review a salad and it would still be a first class review!
Lol thanks mate!!
Absolutely banging place and video, Gary. Gotta get myself down here if i ever find myself in London!
Give it a go mate!
