Saw this dish on their Facebook page. It's not on the menu but you can order it. One of the best dishes I've had. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I have been on the road for the last 26 days. Venezia's was by far one of the best Italian restaurants we have eaten in. The Menu is huge and far beyond what is shown on their menu website. Lot's of Special Dishes on their Black Board when you enter. I went for eggplant and had a wonderful lobster tail w shrimp and scallops over a spectacular field of linguini. She had lobster ravioli in a pink sauce which she says was the best ever. Mike our waiter was informative and knowledgeable about the menu. A great server. All the staff were friendly and the owner's wife very welcoming to strangers to town. We don't usually write reviews but it is a pleasure to be able to recommend this wonderful restaurant. The local hotel we are staying at in town recommended this place without reservation. Thank you to the very nice people of Russellville. The table next to us was kind enough to see we were travelers to town and gave us some advice about places to visit here in Arkansas. We thank them as well.

We stopped in around 2:30 and their lunch specials were still running. I ordered the Chicken Piccata and hubby ordered the Stromboli. They brought out complimentary rolls with sauce right away. We were amazed at the serving sizes of our lunch specials and both tasted delicious! Casual restaurant with great service and delicious food. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the chicken piccata didn't have a lot of lemon in it.

So amazingly good. The service and food were great. I got the lunch special lasagna and couldn't believe how big it was. The complementary rolls reminded me of focaccia. I wish I was here for more than one day to try more items. The only reason for 4 stars is I think visually, it needs a remodel. The seats are ripping at the seams. But everything else was so delicious.

Hands down my favorite restaurant. I love Italian food, and I've never been disappointed here. The dishes are consistently excellent and taste genuinely authentic (at least to me), and the service is always solid. There's even an Olive Garden right next door, but this place is my go-to every time. Highly recommended if you want a better, more satisfying Italian meal. read more

A long wait, but it was worth it. Food was very good, but we never got our salad. Had to get them to go when we reminded our waiter. I know they had been extremely busy, but it had slowed down by the time we were seated. I had the Tour Of Italy. It was very good. My partner ordered one of the pasta specials, and he was also very complimentary about his meal. We both had plenty to take home for another meal. If we would have started with our salads, this would have been a five star rating. read more

Love this restaurant - they use the freshest ingredients! They have a huge menu, most of which my husband and I have sampled. A lot. Portions are extremely generous and the wait staff are really nice and attentive. If you want a great Italian food, just come here. This is where we take all our out of town guests, too. We moved here from Colorado a couple of years ago and the food is better than any Italian restaurant we ever went to there. Cheaper, too! Some dummy approved of an Olive Garden to be built next door. If you prefer pre frozen food and boxed potatoes, go there. Otherwise, eat here! read more

It's been a while since we've dined at Venezia's, but we decided to come back today. The food was excellent. The star of the table was definitely the chicken supreme dish. I will definitely be returning for that. Although we arrived at 11:45, we were the only table for a good portion of our meal. By the time we left, the restaurant was much busier. That being said, our service was so-so. Our actual server was inattentive once the food hit our table. We truly never saw him at our table again. However, the polite manager (I'm assuming) did come by a few times to help us. She was great! The restaurant was much cleaner this visit compared to last. It was a good visit and I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

From the moment I stepped into Venezia's, the ambiance whisked me away into what felt like a delightful little corner of Italy, right here in Russellville, Arkansas. The staff greeted us with the warmth and hospitality one might expect from a family-run establishment, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The menu, a treasure trove of Italian classics, was both extensive and inviting. Each dish that graced our table was a testament to authentic flavors and culinary craftsmanship. The ingredients tasted fresh, and every bite conveyed a sense of care and passion for Italian cuisine. Service at Venezia's was impeccable. Attentive yet unobtrusive, the staff ensured our dining experience was comfortable, and every request was met with promptness and a smile. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and well-suited for both romantic dinners and family gatherings. As for dessert, it was the perfect culmination to our feast. Without delving into specifics, I will say that it satisfied our sweet tooth with its decadent flavors and beautiful presentation. Venezia's truly is a gem in Russellville, offering a dining experience that's hard to forget. It's no wonder that guests leave with plans to return. Whether you're a local or just passing through, dining here is a decision you won't regret. Five stars well-earned! read more

Will, I don't know why you would say such harsh things about such a wonderful restaurant. I have only observed the owner to be professional and rule abiding. He works 13-15 hour days to make sure everything is done properly. Hearing information from someone else is still second-hand information. Also, you must take into consideration the source; past employees. You are supporting rumors from individuals who couldn't perform up to par. Therefore, they would be much more likely to spread bad information than good. I applaud the owner's management and love the food. I would highly recommend Venezia's to anyone and everyone. The owner and staff are welcoming and accommodating. They always make sure patrons are comfortable and food comes in a timely manner (which, as I said, is amazing). Prior to posting defamatory information, please research the facts from primary sources. Love the Italians Thank you, Regina read more

First off, the ambiance is okay. It seems like you're in an old Italian house and their Nona is gon yell at you to get off the furniture. The service is par at best, which wasn't too bad. It could've been better. Now the food, THE FOOD! Bellissimo! Chefs kiss! Good portions, flavorful, the sauce is on point with the bread when they bring it to you. They have balsamic vinegar with the bread too. So good! I had the calamari and tour of Sicily. It was so much I brought the entree home. I also tried the dessert, although the tiramisu wasn't good, that cannoli hits the spot. read more

Was on vacation from CA and decided to try Venezia's. My wife and I got the Seafood Venezia's. We both have had some really good Italian food including seafood pasta, but this was the BEST !!! It was amazing and went great with the REALLY GOOD fresh baked bread that they serve you upfront. The service was also very good and the chef was really friendly. If you want some great Italian food, you can't go wrong at Venezia's. read more

Thank You Fran, Alex and Tony for bringing this fantastic food to Russellville. We hvae needed an authentic Italian Restaurant for a very long time. Your New York style Pizza is soooooooooooo good! To sop your home style bread in pesto with lots of garlic is a delight to the palate. The shrimp in alfredo is a culinary delight. "Good luck"....Jim Bob read more

Came in to what looked like the busiest I've ever seen a restaurant, but we had a GREAT waiter that still managed to get us great service despite the rush. (don't know their name, they had killer eyeshadow and nonbinary swag) Food was delicious and filling as usual! Definitely cemented this place as one of my favorite restaurants. read more

ABSOLUTELY AWFULL!! Do not recommend, I went a few months ago. The waiter had a suit on which seemed like a good impression but then he started singing I be popping bottles? And shaking it like jelly on me, disgusting. The food was alright but they gave it to me cold? I complained to the waiter but then he just insulted me. read more

Let me just say - INCREDIBLE! The food is amazing. The place looks better than ever. So glad they were able to come back after the fire. Well worth the drive from anywhere to come eat. The lunch specials are great and very affordable. I have never had to wait more than just a few minutes for a table. read more
