Diego Bistrot

Deeply disappointing experience from start to finish. I specifically chose a pasta dish that I believed would avoid the ingredients I don’t eat, yet when it arrived, it contained exactly what I had tried to avoid. This was a complete let-down and made the meal inedible for me. And the waitor didn’t give me the information when ordering. When I tried to get the waiter’s attention, it was impossible for several minutes as both he and a colleague had their backs turned. When I went inside to speak to my waiter, another waitress suddenly appeared, speaking to me in a patronizing way and insisting it was my fault — that I “wasn’t listening” — even though I am very careful when ordering, precisely because of my dietary restrictions. We left the dishes mostly untouched, yet they still charged the full price, offered no apology, and made no gesture of goodwill. When I mentioned leaving a bad review, the waitress took me to the kitchen to argue in front of the owner, explaining they’d been working all day and were sweaty — as though that justified the situation. I told them to keep the money, and they gladly did. Incorrect dish, zero accountability, and unprofessional service. Absolutely not recommended.

Avoid this restaurant if you care about good service or quality food. The staff are visibly stressed, mumble when taking orders, and are not upfront about what certain dishes contain – a serious risk for anyone with allergies. Bread is served inconsistently, pasta is overcooked, and the vongole comes with mussels from a can. When mistakes are pointed out, they argue instead of apologizing, and still charge full price for dishes you haven’t even touched. I’ve worked with reviews for years, and this is one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had. There are far better restaurants along the canal that will value your money – and your trust.

Definitely a place to visit if you come to Camogli , if not for lunch, then for sure for dinner. This typical Italian family restaurant will spoil your culinary senses !

Very chic place with inventive food options… great service too

A wow experience 🤩. First of all, the customer service was very pleasant and warm, and they explained exactly what dishes were available, including the catch of the day! They made some recommendations that turned out to be the right choice. The food was exquisite, and since we were a couple, they kindly split everything we ordered into two plates in a beautifully presented and organized way. I found it lovely that they took the time to do that. It was truly a wonderful experience at Ristorante Diego, with a beautiful view of the sea. Diego is already a little treasure in the small town of Camogli! Thank you for the good vibes, your quality service, and the delicious food. We will come back every time we visit Recco.
