Il Maremmano

Il Maremmano is beautiful Tuscan apericena bar just minutes from the heart of Brixton serving regional specialities from the Maremma region of Tuscany, the wild coastal area in southern Tuscany known for its wild boar, seafood and vineyards. 'Apericena' is a new take on aperitivo in Italy. Formed by adding the word 'cena', meaning dinner, onto 'aperitivo', dishes are more substantial than aperitivo, but more casual than dinner. Guests can enjoy boards of cheese and salumi from the heart of the Maremma, pizzette, crostoni with seasonal toppings and other small plates of regional specialities such as slow-cooked wild boar stew alongside signature cocktails and Tuscan wines from hand-picked small independent suppliers exclusive to the bar and its sister restaurant, Maremma. Housed in a former café on Tulse Hill, the bar draws on the wild Maremman landscape, iron rich clay and fertile volcanic soil central to viniculture and winemaking since the Etruscans. The soil, the forests, hills, olive groves and Tyrrhenian sea have inspired the colour scheme of terracotta red with notes of deep blue and sage green. Dickie, a Brixton resident for almost 50 years, has also included his personal collection of local gig posters of as part of the décor.
