According to the Rotterdam menu there is a daily specials but it doesn’t appear it’s written in stone like they used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the atmosphere is definitely lacking. I’ve found the food over the years has gotten light years better. No one hated Canaletto more than I did. From the old menu the osso bucco was so good along with the veggie risotto and seafood soup. The new menu doesn’t look great, especially for $29 iirc. Hal is out pricing it’s specialty restaurants. I had zero problems getting a reservation onboard for any time I liked on my last cruise. It’s certainly wasn’t like that before in my experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I has a sad!!! The menu we had Eorodam April 29 - May 6 had the daily specials on the left. Chick Parm was Sun. Smalls in center, large on right. Here's the left side of the menu. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted June 4, 2023 #29 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I think that's the old menu, although some ships may still have it until the roll-out is complete. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, crud, they told us it was the new menu. Never having eaten at Canaletto before, we believed them. 😪 but we also had been told the old menu was very seafood-heavy and we didn't see much on it.

It doesn't look like the one shown in the recent HAL press release. For one thing, I think the menu you saw has more choices on it. At least the infamous "rustic lasagna" isn't there.

We'd been warned about that lasagna. So does that mean there's 3 versions - old, new, and "tweener" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiz'nBaers Posted June 4, 2023 #38 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Not a fan of the new menu. We loved the seafood soup for a starter. The menu looks bit “meh” to me. And as far as supply chain issues, I’m really tired of hearing this excuse. I think it’s more of an order issue (as in not ordering enough of the items, my opinion). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes files go right into my downloads instead of opening. Unfortunately there is no other way for me to post it. What you posted from what I can see is the old one. There is no in in between menu. If you look at the op’s menu post number one that is the new menu.

Yes, early in 2023 Friday's Veal Florentine Cannelloni was replaced with Chicken Curry. Spaghetti All' Astice was replaced with Lobster and Shrimp Ravioli (both with $18 supplement). Jumbo Lump Crab Risotto was eliminated. BTW, DH loved Canaletto's Lasagna but didn't care at all for MDR's Rustic Lasagna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess replacement of 2 dishes constitutes a new menu for some crew. Edited June 5, 2023 by Florida_gal_50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbelle Posted June 5, 2023 #42 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Currently on Zuiderdam and the new menu is now showing on the Navigator app. We ate there twice (old menu) on the first segment, I’m guessing this was “unveiled” May 28, 2023 when the new segment began although it’s still the old price. Hopefully, the menu will show (previously posted anyway). canaletto_menu_winter_2023_en_rtdm_trial_v15_-_beef.pdf Edited June 5, 2023 by ellbelle 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ottahand7 Posted June 5, 2023 #43 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The seafood soup was my husband's favorite and the carpaccio was mine. We ate there weekly on the Grand SA. We'll give the new menu a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV8rix Posted June 5, 2023 #45 Share Posted June 5, 2023 OMG! No lamb chops, no carpaccio? What's next? No liver on Wednesdays? Just off Volendam last month, menu was "normal". I always eat (used to, anyway) at Canaletto at least once a week, usually more often. Now I guess I'll relegate it to the rest of my happy HAL memories along with the crew show, the Yum Yum Man, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loreto Posted June 6, 2023 #47 Share Posted June 6, 2023 We have always enjoyed the Canaletto! Lasagna ( thumbs down by many) was DH's favorite along with soup...I guess not anymore🙁. I am happy to see sea bass still on the menu! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
