Bettendorf Restaurants

Bettendorf is a handsome Midwestern city that sits along the shore of the Mississippi River. Steakhouses and trendy farm-to-table bistros are an obvious result of the rural Iowa surroundings. Contemporary restaurants serving locally caught river fish also take advantage of the city's beautiful waterside. Italian cuisine in all its forms is a local staple. Chicago style pizza is popular among visitors and locals, but Neapolitan pizzas with toppings like soppresatta, Calabrian chiles and arugula are also fine choices. Other surprises include modern American fusion menus that let you pick your protein and sides as well as the finishing method, opening the door for one-of-a-kind entrees of your own creation.
