Pasta & Pizza Peter Eva Italian restaurant

Pasta & Pizza Peter Eva is a husband-and-wife Italian at 2/52 Owen Street in the middle of Huskisson, and the alfresco section off the footpath is fully dog friendly. Trading leans to the evening, opening from 5pm most nights with lunch service Friday and Saturday, so it suits the end-of-day slot when the dog comes along for dinner rather than staying at the cabin.

The dog setup

Dogs sit in the outdoor alfresco area straight off the Owen Street footpath; the indoor room is off limits. The space is set up for proper evening dining rather than a token footpath table, with heaters taking the edge off colder Jervis Bay nights and low lighting as it darkens. Staff often bring water bowls, though pack your own to be sure. Pet-friendly tables are limited and the restaurant is popular, so book ahead and mention the dog.

The food

The kitchen works through authentic wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta, with prawn linguine, boscaiola, arancini and cannoli among the regular orders, and the team is known for accommodating gluten intolerances. It is proper sit-down Italian rather than a takeaway counter, which makes it a rare dog-friendly dinner option on the strip.

Getting there and parking

Street parking runs along Owen Street and the side streets, with public car parks nearby that fill on weekends and school holidays. If you are staying centrally in Huskisson it is an easy walk, which keeps the whole outing on foot with the dog.

While you're out there

The Huskisson to Vincentia Shared Path runs along the foreshore for a flat pre-dinner walk, and the Huskisson Hotel keeps its outdoor deck and terrace pet friendly if you want a pub alternative. Next morning, Portside Cafe covers coffee on the main strip.

The rest of the town is on the Huskisson destination page, and the full NSW list is in the NSW restaurants index.
