Borgo Maggiore has a handful of cafes and trattorias catering to local workers and residents rather than tourists. Prices are noticeably lower than in the old city above. The local staples are piadina (flatbread filled with cured meats, squacquerone cheese, or roasted vegetables) and pasta with Sangiovese-based meat sauces. Several bars along the main street serve good espresso and light lunches. If you want to eat a proper sit-down meal without paying tourist-centre prices, eating in Borgo Maggiore before or after taking the cable car is the sensible approach.
