La Spezia eats like a Ligurian port town, with focaccia, mesciua chickpea soup, and Gulf-of-Poets seafood, and dogs are an easy presence on its outdoor terraces. In summer the smart move is to ask for a shaded outdoor table along Via del Prione or near the Morin seafront, where a leashed, well-behaved dog is welcome at most casual trattorie and focaccerie. Always confirm with the staff first, as some prefer dogs seated outside or away from other animals.
