Is it common/accepted to bring a dog in Tuscany (Italy)?
I understand Italian people have a very different etiquette when it comes to dining etc. Would we be allowed to bring a small dog to most terraces/restaurants? This will be in small towns, not tourist areas.
We have a carrier bag for him if needed. So far all wineries told us no, so I’m a little nervous about dining anywhere.
We don’t feel comfortable leaving him alone at the airbnb.

We have a very different etiquette compared to where? (yes, I'm italian)
Anyway, I see a lot of people bringing their dogs to the restaurant, so I don't see any problem.
Especially if the dog is small, and even more if you have a carrier bag, you should be ok. There could be places where animals are not allowed at all, but the majority of restaurants will allow small dogs.
