Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Riva del Garda

A lakefront institution on Viale Rovereto facing the water, L'Ora is a combined restaurant, pizzeria, bar and gelateria where the management openly welcomes dogs both at the tables and in the ice cream parlour. The renovated lounge terrace catches the famous afternoon Ora wind and is one of the easiest, most reliable dog-friendly stops in town.

Right beside the little harbour of Porto San Nicolò at the eastern edge of town, this restaurant and pizzeria welcomes dogs of all sizes both inside and out, with the owner Paolo known for greeting guests and their dogs warmly. The position next to the harbour and the Monte Brione dog area makes it an ideal lunch stop after a lakeside walk.

Set directly under the arcades of the historic Piazza III Novembre, the restaurant of the four-star Hotel Portici opens onto the main square just steps from the lake and the Torre Apponale. The hotel is openly pet-friendly, even offering a welcome kit for dogs, and the square-side terrace is one of the most atmospheric dog-friendly spots in the old town.
