This accessible route is suitable for families, groups of friends and cycle tourists who want to spend a day enjoying good food, nature and conviviality while cycling through the hills, woodlands and scenic roads of the Borello Valley.

The tour starts in the village of Ranchio, a small settlement perched on a massive sandstone outcrop, known for its authentic atmosphere and strategic location between Sarsina, Borello and the Savio Valley.

The first stop is Agriturismo A Cà Nostra, a long-established local farmhouse restaurant serving traditional Romagna dishes prepared with local ingredients: handmade pasta, locally sourced meats, garden-fresh vegetables and homemade desserts. It is the perfect place to begin the tour with a delicious stop and discover the cuisine of Ranchio, where recipes passed down through generations are still cherished today.

Cycling through rural landscapes and picturesque scenery, the route reaches Civorio, a small village surrounded by greenery. Here, the welcoming and unpretentious village restaurant serves traditional Romagna dishes and also offers gluten-free options, ensuring an authentic and inclusive dining experience. Civorio retains the slow pace of life typical of hillside villages: a handful of houses, peaceful surroundings, nature and a cuisine that tells the stories of local families. A short distance away lies the famous Civorio Waterfall, an ideal place for a refreshing break during the warmer months.

The route continues towards Agriturismo Il Cornio, nestled in the peaceful countryside. Here, a stop becomes an opportunity to relax and enjoy local produce, a warm family atmosphere and natural surroundings that invite visitors to slow down. In autumn, the menu features the prized white truffle, gathered directly by the farmhouse owners, ensuring freshness and quality.

The route then heads towards Rullato, a small rural settlement surrounded by woodlands and panoramic ridges. Here stands Agriturismo Oltretempo, the final food stop on the itinerary before returning to Ranchio. The setting combines the warmth of rustic surroundings with contemporary details, creating a welcoming and thoughtfully designed space.

The cuisine is rooted in Romagna’s culinary traditions, reinterpreted with a modern approach. Local ingredients, seasonality and a commitment to quality are at the heart of every dish. Ingredients come from the family’s organic farm or local producers, while pasta dishes made with hand-rolled egg pasta are among the highlights of the menu. Deliberately simple and closely connected to the rhythms of the land, the menu changes with the seasons to showcase local ingredients at their very best.

The stars of the tour are the great classics of Romagna cuisine: hand-rolled tagliatelle, fragrant piadina cooked on a traditional griddle, stuffed crescioni and the many pasta and main dishes that evoke the aromas of country kitchens. These flavours do more than satisfy the appetite: they tell stories of people, traditions, families and seasons.

For those who enjoy adding a playful challenge to their day, the Tagliatelle Tour is the perfect opportunity. At each of the four participating establishments, visitors can enjoy a plate of tagliatelle with ragù, mushrooms or truffles, turning every stop into a stage of a friendly food challenge. At the end of the route, whoever has managed to eat the most portions can claim the title of winner of this entertaining competition, celebrating Romagna in the most authentic way: around the table, with a smile.

For more experienced cyclists, the route also features several mountain bike singletrack trails, adding a touch of adrenaline and offering the opportunity to explore the Borello Valley from a more adventurous perspective.

The return to Ranchio completes an itinerary that combines sport, nature and gastronomy, offering an authentic journey through the flavours and traditions of Romagna. It is a route that celebrates conviviality, home-style cooking and the beauty of the Apennine landscapes.
