Locally owned and operated since 1974, the Iowa City Brown Bottle is one of the oldest restaurants in the Iowa City area.  The Brown Bottle specializes in hearty Italian fare:  pasta, seafood, steaks, pizza, soup, salads, nightly specials and more.  Lasagna is the most popular item on the menu; each month the restaurant sells more lasagna than coke! 

Other favorites include chicken marsala, orange roughy parmesan, penne with vodka sauce, classic prime rib, and fettuccine alfredo.  Full service bar and an extensive wine list accent the fabulous food.  Seating for large groups is available as well as a private party room for family/business functions.  In warm weather months, enjoy the view of downtown Iowa City from the outdoor dining patio. 

The motto "Where Good Food, Good Wine, and Good Friends Go Together" is as true today as it was over thirty-five years ago.  Try the Brown Bottle, you'll agree the food, service, and atmosphere are among the best in the city.
