A space inside the Freight House marketplace near Davenport’s riverfront will soon offer something new: A taste of Antonella’s Ristorante & Pizza. The Sicilian restaurant that has served pastas and pizzas in Davenport since 2002 is planning to open a second, more casual, location in the space formerly housed by the Quad-Cities Food Hub, which closed its doors in December.
The Davenport Riverfront Improvement Commission, which rents out the city-owned Freight House, discussed a lease agreement with Antonella’s during a Jan. 23 meeting. The commission plans to approve the agreement at its next meeting, on Tuesday, Feb. 27, according to executive director Steve Ahrens.
