The hours are not steady in my experiences. The ambiance is chaotic. For real. It's part bar, part grill, part pizzas, part pool tables and then throw a bowling alley in the mix! No servers-you have to fend for yourself and it's local's first so you'd better know somebody or find out a name to shout out to order your food. I will say my food is always good when I get it. Good luck!

Service at Maggie's was excellent--our server Harry really made the experience. We ordered two drinks: the Lemon Lavender Italian Soda (refreshing and tasty) and the Hugo Spritz. The Hugo Spritz initially just tasted like tonic water, but we let our server know and Harry kindly brought us a replacement that was much better. For food, we tried the Margherita pizza and the Ellie (caramelized onion, blue cheese, and onion). Both were decent. Seems like fresh ingredients! I am personally not a fan of blue cheese usually, but I did enjoy it. Service was super efficient--felt a little rushed but they are typically very busy on a Friday night. Dessert was a nice finish: the raspberry ice cream tasted like real raspberries, and the shortbread was decent. Only downside? Lots of flies--we found ourselves swatting them away throughout the meal. Overall, a good experience and we will be back!

Their burgers were especially good too! They were full of flavor! This time we took our daughter who loved it too! We mentioned we came from 2 hours away to eat at their little tavern and the owners came right out to chat with us. They were super friendly and accommodating to us! They took great care to let us know how pleased they were that we came all that way. This time we had the "Pretzel Popper" burger. When I asked our waitress what it was like she said it was "like a flavor explosion in your mouth". That's all I needed. I didn't even read the rest of the menu! Such good food! Next time we'll come back for drinks too. If the care that is put into the food is also put into the drinks, it will be well worth it!

High-End Pizza & Perfect Peronis…read more If you're looking for authentic, high-quality pizza in North Liberty, Rusciano's is the spot. The pizza was excellent--perfectly cooked crust and fresh toppings that actually taste like they came from an Italian kitchen. It's hard to find a place that gets the balance of sauce and cheese just right, but they nailed it. To top it off, they have Peroni on deck. There's nothing better than a cold, crisp Italian lager to cut through a rich pizza. Great atmosphere, even better food. We'll definitely be back!

It was a lot of wine but a good deal! The only thing that was difficult is their printed wine menu is different from what they had available. The waitress was nice so she got some recommendations from the bartender and we were able to choose wine that way. The pizza was great, some of the best we have had in Coralville. Their pasta tasted fresh and homemade, I am not sure if it is but that was the vibe we got. The broccolini was hot!! Not in a straight out of the oven way, but in an it carries some heat way. We thought maybe there was chili oil on it? But even though we weren't expecting the heat, they were super good. The only downside to the meal was the crème brûlée, it bothers me when the top isn't crispy. Normally, you use the spoon to kind of break the sugar glass on top (i think it's sugar?) and I was sad when the sugar on top was missing from half of it. I think to make it you use a blowtorch to melt the sugar on top (?) idk how it works, but whatever that step is I think it was missed. Other than that great food and drinks!

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!!
