Ristorante Ca' Mea In Badalucco

What a treat! We ate with the children. For us, it was a parade of delicious dishes, especially featuring porcini mushrooms 😋. For the girls, who don't like mushrooms, there were delicious homemade tagliatelle with or without Bolognese sauce, depending on their preference. Everything was truly excellent, the service impeccable, and the staff incredibly kind 🥰. The value for money is fantastic, with a set menu including drinks and desserts—we weren't disappointed at all!! And the tiramisu 😋! We highly recommend it. We can't wait to go back! Especially since the village of Badalucco offers a lovely post-meal stroll ❤️

I have gone here for years and will always return. I dream about this place

A beautiful spot just before the entrance to the lovely village of Badalucco, a truly excellent place for food lovers... You'll need to be in good shape to finish all the specialties! Superb setting, warm and genuine welcome. We'll be back! ☺️

Everything is perfect. An authentic place run by a family from mother to daughter for 50 years. Fourteen courses served with wine, coffee, and desserts. Everything is homemade using porcini mushrooms. A real treat, just the way we like it, for a single price of €45. A big thank you to them for the excellent service and the little homemade digestif bonus. Go without hesitation.

It was me and my boyfriend and our two dogs... if you're a mushroom lover, this is the place to go! It doesn't get any better... the menu is set and you'll want to eat every single course several times!

If you like mushrooms, this is a clear recommendation!

A truly original and memorable address, ideal for mushroom lovers and those who appreciate authentic cuisine. The house specialty revolves around mushrooms, with a menu of approximately 10 dishes featuring porcini mushrooms prepared in a variety of ways. The porcini are showcased to perfection from beginning to end of the meal. The meats grilled over a wood fire are excellent, flavorful, and generously portioned. The restaurant offers a set menu for around €40 to €45, including wine, which is very reasonable considering the quality and overall experience. Special mention goes to the tiramisu, served in a unique way in a small jar, adding a fun and unexpected touch to the end of the meal. The setting is enchanting, particularly in spring or autumn, during porcini season, when the atmosphere becomes even more magical. In short: an address you absolutely must discover. However, be aware that reservations are often required about two weeks in advance.

Charming restaurant, excellent food, very good portions, a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through; it's well worth the detour. Truly excellent!

Ca' Mea in Badalucco is one of those places that makes you understand why it's worth venturing into the Ligurian hinterland valleys, far from the crowded seaside. As soon as you arrive in Località Ravezza, the atmosphere is already just right: a simple, welcoming place with rustic yet refined decor, well-spaced tables, and a sense of conviviality that makes you feel instantly at home. The staff is friendly, cheerful, and attentive, without ever being intrusive—just as you'd expect from a family-run trattoria that knows what it's doing. The true heart of Ca' Mea is the mushrooms, especially the fresh local porcini, which they handle with rare mastery. The set menu (around €40 per person, house wine included) is a veritable marathon of flavors: it begins with a generous array of appetizers (crostini, salads, frittatas, stuffed vegetables, all with mushrooms or local ingredients), followed by porcini mushroom risotto—creamy, fragrant, with that forest flavor that lingers in your mouth for hours—followed by fresh pasta (tagliatelle or pappardelle with wild boar or mushroom ragù), a succulent meat-based main course (often lamb chops or veal with porcini mushrooms), and finally, homemade desserts to round things off. The portions are generous, almost ready to share if you don't have a mountain appetite, and everything is made with quality ingredients, without unnecessary frills: traditional Ligurian valley cuisine, honest and flavorful. Mushrooms are the absolute leitmotif in season, and the experience is truly memorable—many leave saying, "It was the best mushroom dish of my life." We spent an unforgettable Sunday afternoon: total relaxation, chatting with friends, toasting with a good local red, and finally feeling like we'd discovered a hidden gem. After the 2020 flood that hit the area hard, the fact that Ca' Mea has rebounded under its own steam and is back stronger than ever makes the place even more charming. If you're in the Imperia or Sanremo area and love authentic cuisine based on mushrooms and local products, Ca' Mea is absolutely worth the detour. A full 4.5/5, with praise for its authenticity and that "taste of home" that is increasingly rare these days. Highly recommended—be sure to book, as it's always packed with repeat visitors!

Not bad at all... If you want different restaurant and do like mushroom 🍄family cooking. Good place for a break from all the traditional cooking
