Venezia Italian Restaurant: Pasta and pizza on Kirksville’s square

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 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. It also took part in a campus food event that year: Truman Today listed Venezia among the vendors 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 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 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.
