New Canaletto Menu: It's great that the pasta is fresh, but do they, in fact, have gnocchi available?

I haven't seen that anywhere.  Thank you for your concern for my gustatory delights.

Just had a look at the new menu, and don't see gnocchi anywhere.

 

I was on the Rotterdam in February, and we ate at Canaletto.  They had, I believe, short ribs with gnocchi.  Speaking as an Italian, they were crap.  I want my gnocchi to be like fluffy soft pillows....but they were doughy and dense.  The only meal that I was truly disappointed with, but I'm hard to please when it comes to gnocchi...I was spoiled by Nonna!

No gnocchi in Canaletto on the Rotterdam last week. 
 

@leerathje No one will ever be able to top a Nonna’s cooking!

This was my EXACT experience with the gnocchi on Westerdam's Canaletto last April. They were terrible.

I'm not of Italian decendency, but agree with leerathje.  We were on Nieuw Statendam in May and had two enjoyable meals in Canaletto, but the gnocchi let down the short ribs.  The flour just wasn't cooked.  'Claggy' is one of the words we Brits would use to describe the consistency.
