Bar Ristorante Barbotto In Mercato saraceno

We found this place by chance, but then discovered, thanks to the owner Francesco's stories, that it's a HUGE point of reference, especially for cyclists. It's definitely worth stopping for a while and enjoying the atmosphere. We'll definitely be back soon.

A wonderful region: here, cycling is a way of life. Every meter is a pure delight, even though there can still be snow in late March. Here, the heart of Italian cycling beats with greater intensity.

I've never stopped at this place but Google Maps keeps suggesting it to me, maybe it's covert advertising?

I had a good time, after a quick pit stop I also had fresh water for my bottle.

Nice place and very friendly owner!

A place of memories of the great Marco Pantani...

Coming from Mercato Saraceno towards San Leo, we stopped at this restaurant, hungry, after a climb that, even by car, was terribly steep. I must say it was a pleasant surprise; the owner was very active and friendly; besides the customers, he was there for the taking. We ate very well, with quick and competent service. It was a quick lunch, since we were passing through, like his typical customers—cyclists who need to replenish their energy after the wall. A few years have passed, but the memory of a pleasant lunch remains, and now, thanks to technology, I can share it, even if it's been a few years. My heartfelt compliments to the owner.
