I thought the daily specials were going away with this remodel of the menu.

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.

I was not a fan previously (subpar food & lacking atmosphere of a 'specialty' restaurant) and I am less so now with the roll out of this more limited menu.

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.

Yes but not the daily specials. Which used to be in a column on the left...

 

No lamb and no gnocchi. 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.

I think that's the old menu, although some ships may still have it until the roll-out is complete.

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.

Right, which was another reason I thought it was the new one. We'd been warned about that lasagna. 

So does that mean there's 3 versions - old, new, and "tweener" ?

That’s the old menu.  I thought it was odd that the eurodam had the new menu.  Take a look at the menu I posted in post 2 (link).  It a lot different.

The rustic lasagna was on the mdr menu not Canaletto.  Canaletto did have lasagna but not the rustic one.

falls into the categories of “expensive” ingredients and skills in preparation.

I am really unhappy this has been taken off the menu. I always ordered it.

Somebody sounded like they were making things up or they don’t know what seafood is.

For some reason, I'm not able to open it.

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).

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.

I was still able to get the crab risotto in April.  I prefer the veggie so I got that. I guess replacement of 2 dishes constitutes a new menu for some crew.

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).

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.

Also our favorites! New menu BLAH to me ....

[AV8rix]

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.

[BetsyS.]

AV8rix - I miss the crew show and the Yum Yum Man also! They were on the Veendam.

[Loreto]

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!

Just checked my October Nieuw Amsterdam trans-canal cruise Specialty Dining and noted the old menu Canaletto menu is still listed but with the new $29.50 cost.

Yikes.  I guess they are flying in the veggies direct from Italy daily😉

For those of you unable to open, here is the menu @Florida_gal_50 posted in the link. There is always a way to post anything online 😉 

 

 

Hope that helps 🙂
