Sanremo's dining heart is Piazza Bresca, a tight little square of fish restaurants and pizzerias just behind the Porto Vecchio, and this is where eating out with a dog is easiest. As across Liguria, the workable rule is the outdoor terrace: leashed, calm dogs are generally welcome at the pavement and square tables even where small indoor rooms are not suited to them, so it is always worth confirming when you book. The Old Port supplies the fishmongers and kitchens here every morning, so the seafood is genuinely local, and the flat, sea-level square means your dog reaches a table without stairs.
A small, well-regarded fish restaurant a step from Piazza Bresca where dogs are explicitly made welcome. The kitchen leans on the daily catch landed at the Old Port just below, so the menu is short and seasonal.
💡 It is small, so book ahead in season and mention you are bringing a dog
The lantern-lit square behind the Old Port is ringed by trattorias and pizzerias whose tables spill across the flat pavement, and this open-air setting is the reliable option for eating out with a dog. Following the standard Ligurian norm, leashed calm dogs are generally welcome at the outdoor tables, so pick a terrace and confirm at the door.
💡 Ask for a table on the square side; it is flat and level, so no steps for your dog
A Piazza Bresca fixture since 1935, this family trattoria works Ligurian and southern Italian seafood a few metres from the fishing boats. As with the rest of the square, the outdoor tables are the dog-friendly option under the usual Ligurian terrace rule.
💡 Evenings on the square are lively; a quieter lunch suits a nervous dog better
