We found this restaurant while exploring the area around our hotel. It looked like a nice, neighborhood restaurant. We were given the "tourist menu" which I didn't realize was different from the regular menu. I thought it was just a menu in English. Anyway, the meal was disappointing. I had the grilled fish with artichoke and it was not very... More

We had a very poor experience at "Il Nuovo Galeon": we like grilled white fish and we had great expectation when we were told we could have a grilled fish with fresh small artichokes which in this season of the year are a real treat in Venice; and we were very disappointed when we finally were presented with two small...

We had one of the best meals of our vacation at this spot, which is not near any of the top tourist sites. It's on Via Garibaldi, near the Arsenale and the main Biennale location. Lovely eggplant dish, fish, and pasta. My only recommendation is to avoid the tourist menu -- it's far less interesting and wonderful than the other... More

Il Nuovo Galeon is exactly what it should be. it is not Haute Cuisine. it is a very solid, local eatery with classic food presented very well. I would go back again in a heartbeat, but not to eat touristic things like schnitzel off of a menu. they will tell you what is special, and what is freshest and that... More

We visited here for lunch and had the lunch menu. The waiter who greeted us was very polite but unfortunately the one that served us for the rest of the meal was extremely rude and dismissive. The food wasn't all that good either. I had schnitzel for the second course and it was pressed 'fake' meat. It was fluffy like... More

Booked a table, and felt rather silly when we turned up to be the only diners at this place. However it was the "close season" and Il Nuovo is not anywhere near the centre of Venice. However if you are staying nearby, which we were, it was very convenient indeed. Food was good, service good, and plenty of space to... More

Our arrival night in Venice lead us to this place. It was close to our apartment and only one of many restaurants that was still open after 2200 hours. Of course no problem getting a table right on the street. We started with red house wine for 4E each and it was an ok pour. My wife had the clam... More

We ate at this restaurant on our last evening in Venice. It was a fantastic experience. Our waiter, Sergio, suggested a menu for us, and it was all excellent. Fun to go out of the box, and try some foods we might not otherwise have ordered! The prosecco was delicious, as was the limoncello we were served after our meal.... More

We had a very nice meal here. It was not particularly remarkable, but it was enjoyable and the food was good and service prompt, helpful but quite unfussy. In terms of value for money it also seemed quite good by Venetian standards. Overall, we would happily go back again, but also wouldn't feel obliged to do so over experimenting with... More
