It changes monthly. June is 2x shrimp tacos with pico de gallo and a side of pineapple for $10! I can't wait to try them!

After finishing my daily routine and heading home, my wife and I decided it was time to grab…read moredinner. She suggested Italian food and I was immediately on board. As luck would have it, we found a relatively new place only about ten minutes away that didn't have hundreds of reviews yet. Those are usually the places that catch my attention the most. From the outside, Venezia Italian Restaurant has one of those buildings that makes you curious. You stand there looking at it wondering what's actually behind the door. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting that interior at all. The moment we walked in my opinion changed completely. Warm lighting, beautiful decor, comfortable seating, and music playing quietly in the background. Loud enough to create an atmosphere, quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation. We arrived around 3:15 PM and were the first guests in the dining room. That gave us the freedom to choose any table we wanted, so we picked a corner table where we could see the entire restaurant. The young gentleman who greeted us also ended up taking care of our table. Drinks arrived quickly, followed by fresh rolls, butter, and a salad while we waited for the main course. I ordered the Chicken & Shrimp Lamora. My wife ordered the Sicilian Marsala. Both dishes arrived surprisingly fast. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and there was absolutely no feeling that ingredients were being stretched to save money. Between the pasta, shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, vegetables, and sauce there wasn't much left on my plate by the end. At that point I was honestly going back and forth between 4 and 5 stars. Nothing was wrong. The food was good. The atmosphere was great. The service was good. But I still wasn't completely convinced. Then our server asked a simple question. "Would you like to try the tiramisu?" Normally I skip dessert. This time I didn't. And honestly, that's the moment this review changed from a 4-star review to a 5-star review. The tiramisu was excellent. Not just because it tasted good, but because it completed the entire experience. Sometimes it's not one big thing that earns the fifth star. Sometimes it's a lot of small things done right and one final recommendation at exactly the right moment. I spend a lot of time on the road and eat in restaurants all over the country. Places don't surprise me very often anymore. This one did. After dinner, dessert, and drinks, the final bill came to just over $63 for two people. Seeing that total made me smile. California, I don't miss you. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly service, a fantastic tiramisu, and a restaurant that turned a normal afternoon into a memorable one. I'll gladly stop here again the next time I'm anywhere near Kirksville.

What a fantastic place for lunch or dinner!…read more The atmosphere is the first thing that stood out. The dining room is softly lit with lots of warm lamps, beautiful tables, and quiet background music. It has such a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The service was outstanding. Keaton welcomed us right away, took our order, and kept everything moving perfectly. Before our entrées even arrived, we were served warm garlic bread with whipped butter, then fresh salads (I was already starting to feel full at that point), and just a few minutes later our pastas were on the table. I ordered the Sicilian Marsala, and my husband had the Chicken & Shrimp Lamora. Both dishes had unique flavors that we hadn't tried before, and they were absolutely delicious. The portions were huge, I had to take half of mine home. Now I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. My husband also ordered the tiramisu, and he said it's one of the best he's ever had. The total came to just $63, which felt like an incredible value for the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere. We'll definetely be back!

We made reservations over the phone as we had a group of 7 and I'm glad we did because it got very busy throughout the night! We ordered the watermelon salad and spring rolls as starters, both of which were tasty and refreshing, particularly the watermelon salad. Our friends got the Baked Brie which was delicious! For entrees, I got the Thai Red Curry and my hubby got the Dan Dan Noodles. My curry was underseasoned and a bit lackluster so it was a miss for me, but I did like the Dan Dan Noodles which I would probably get next time if it's still on the menu. Our waitress was also attentive and prompt with her service. I would describe the ambiance as dim and romantic. The A/C was not working so it was very warm inside the restaurant (not sure if it's always like this or if it was just this particular night). Overall, our group had a very nice time dining at Hawaiioan Cafe!
