Are dogs allowed in restaurants in Italy?

The short answer is yes!

Dogs are welcome almost anywhere in Italy, including on public transit (sometimes in a bag or with a muzzle, so always check before you plan your trip), in many hotels, and inside restaurants.

In fact, I can’t remember ever being turned away from a restaurant in Italy with my dog – and we’ve spend a cumulative 6+ months exploring the country.

The only places in Italy where you won’t generally see dogs are churches and supermarkets (though I have heard of people taking their dogs in supermarkets).
