A MOST REMARKABLE RESTAURANT - It's called Ca' Mea, which I understand to mean "My House" in the local Piemontese dialect. Mountains rise up front and back. Heavily wooded and very steep, they leave barely enough room for the stone building itself, which is over 200 years old, and was once an olive mill; for the deep rocky gorge outside the front door at the bottom of which pours the torrent that once powered the mill; for the thin, twisty road that brought us up here from the coast; and for the brief one lane bridge crossing the gorge from road to former mill. The nearest village is Badalucco, population 1,200. The nearest town of size is San Remo, about 12 miles away. This is a restaurant with problems. In addition to its isolation there can be never be adequate room for parking. Nonetheless, when we were there two days ago, mid-day Tuesday, so were about 40 others.
