Venezia Italian Restaurant offers pasta, pizza and other Italian dishes at **106 South Elson Street on Kirksville's downtown square**. Its [Kirksville menu and ordering website](https://www.veneziakirksville.com/) includes lasagna, cheese ravioli, chicken parmigiana and several pizzas, alongside seafood and steak dishes.

That range makes the restaurant relevant to several kinds of meal: a pasta dinner, a pizza order or a group whose members want different entrées. The menu includes separate lunch and children's sections. Check the ordering page for the service and items available at your chosen time.

## A place in Kirksville's food scene

Venezia received the **Best Pasta** designation in the Kirksville Daily Express's [2025 Best of Kirksville results](https://zeta.creativecirclecdn.com/kirksville/files/20250805-124601-a03-KDE%20Best%20of%202025.pdf). It also took part in a campus food event that year: [Truman Today listed Venezia among the vendors](https://newsletter.truman.edu/issue.asp?id=4870) in Spike's Annual Pizza Bowl on February 20, 2025, when students sampled competing pizzas.

The award and participation are distinct parts of its local story. One records recognition for pasta; the other shows a restaurant bringing its pizza to a university event. Its everyday contribution is an Italian dining option within the downtown business district.

City records also document an ownership transaction in 2025. The [August 4 Council minutes](https://kirksville.gov/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=3ceb9789-e7ec-4192-ab1d-9e05a1c8516c) state that Venezia Italian LLC purchased Joe's Italian Kitchen, which had already been operating as Venezia Italian. That history is a reason to use current business information when planning a visit.

## Find the menu and arrange a meal

Start with [Venezia's Kirksville website](https://www.veneziakirksville.com/) for the menu and ordering options. The site displays **106 S. Elson St.** and **660-900-3141** as its contact details.

For a larger dine-in group, ask the restaurant about seating and reservations separately from placing a food order. Online ordering availability does not reserve a table.
