In this small town of 3600 people, there's a Sicilian gentleman by the name of Joe who opened this…read moretrattoria X years ago. It's one of the town's finer establishments - apparently the spot for pre-high school dance dining, date night, and family outings. I, personally, was visiting my friend's hometown and her family treated our group to dinner. We were in the back dining area, which I can assume is reserved for private events, and had the entire room. We enjoyed a multi-course dinner: starting with salads with choice of dressing; pasta al pomodoro - made with basil from their side garden; pasta milanese; eggplant, steak, potatoes and asparagus ...and dessert. Yes, all that food. And wine. Food was outstanding, Service was good. And we even got a visit from Joe himself. Highly rec and wish this biz another 30+ years of success.

We chatted at the bar across the street with a local and he said that there wasn't anything around that he recommends. I can't quite figure that one out. We went here twice, both times we got the same things. The second time, we weren't even hungry, we just wanted to have some cheese bread sticks for the road. They were just as good warmed up, as they were at the restaurant. They were definitely some of the cheesiest bread sticks that I've ever had. The cheese! Where in the world does that cheese come from?! It was fantastic. So why only four stars? The entire restaurant was in desperate need of a good cleaning. I know, I'm a bit more critical than most people in this area, but this place really pushes it to the limit. Crumbs caked in the booth, thick dust around the entrance area, which is where we sat the second time. I thought that the crumbs and a few observations from the first visit were flukes because it was so late in the evening. No, the front of the restaurant was even worse. Maybe that's why the local guy didn't recommend it?

It's decked out with live plants, some comfortable booths and some tables. It's an attractive space with a good view of the kitchen. It's a solid little space. We ordered the house salad, which is tossed in buttermilk ranch dressing and it's super delicious. Such a great salad to start with before the pizzas. It's large enough for 3 people to share, as there were 2 of us and we had some left over to take home. Brian Olsen has pizza on lock! He is a master at his craft. These pizzas have an amazing flavor, terrific crust and quality ingredients. They serve burgers and a chicken sandwiche, too! We ordered 3 different pizzas... one with garlic cream sauce and green peppers, one with pepperoni, sausage & red peppers and another specialty pizza with the hot honey & arugula with pepperoni and Calabrian chili's. Man, that was some good Za!! Claire was our server and she was terrific, too! Clearing dirty plates, refreshing silverware and beverages. Terrific attitude! All in all, Bettendorf has an amazing pizza restaurant that the locals should be grateful for in their own neighborhood! And, Smash serves beer, wine, and cocktails, too. I wish I lived closer. I'd become a regular and dine in often! Whenever I'm back in town, I'll be sure to stop by to try some different specialty pies, like the elote pie. That one sounded really good! So did the za with wild mushroom & kale!! Maybe one day Smash will create a taco pizza to compete with Happy Joe's, rip Joe Whitey. But, seriously, there is no comparison between the two. Smash is hands down one of the best pizza restaurants in the QC's and is better that many BIG city pizza spots. Thanks for the good time, great food & service!!
