Civico 1845 Spreads Puppy Love for Couples + Fur Children on Valentine’s Day

The designated day of love isn’t just for humans—for those looking to spoil their favorite furry friend this February 14 to 16, Civico 1845 is the place to find the most sumptuous dog menu on the day of hearts!

Civico 1845

San Diego is ranked as a top U.S. city for dogs, according to a SmartAsset study, and this popular Little Italy destination is catering to pampered pooches with a special canine menu—where guests can show love to their date and dog.

Designed for four-legged foodies, Civico 1845’s dog menu for Valentine’s Day highlights include:

  • Turkey Tesoro: turkey meatballs, carrots, and green beans
  • Cupid’s Choice: beef and heart, beef liver, veggies
  • Heartless Feast: lentil meatballs (vegan option)

While pet parents dine on authentic Italian fare, such as house-made pappardelle pasta with short rib ragu (or its vegan equivalent, a wild mushroom ragu), tiramisu, and a signature amaro cocktail, their canine counterparts will be equally indulged.

To commemorate the occasion, couples can even have a photo snapped with their happy hound at a specialty photo booth.

See you there!

Founded in 2015 by brothers Dario and Pietro Gallo—both born and raised in Cosenza, Italy—Civico 1845 has since emerged as an authentic Little Italy destination, offering fresh, light, and inspired cuisine, including an expansive array of scratch-made pastas, breads, entrees, and an entire vegan menu.

Seatings with dogs are on the outdoor patio only and are limited. Reservations can be made via phone at 619-431-5990 or online here.

See you there, San Diego!
