Holland America Line's specialty
Italian restaurant Canaletto features an updated menu that features fresh pasta
made on board and authentic Italian dishes.
The restaurant, which is open for dinner only, carries a
$25 surcharge per person unless it’s included under the “Have it All” package.
The refreshed menu offers a three-course meal that includes
small plates, homemade pastas and entrées, and desserts, in addition to a
Special of the Day.
“The pasta we make on board is exceptional, and we want the
updated menu to continue to reflect an Italian experience with a focus on
freshness and authenticity,” said Michael Stendebach, Holland America Line’s
vice president-food and beverage. “Each course has a selection that brings the
flavors of Italy on board no matter where our ships are cruising, and the
update adds some exciting new dishes and cocktails.”
Guests can start their meal with a small plate.
The popular antipasto plate features prosciutto di parma, finocchiona salami,
truffle salami, Terre Ducali coppa, Parmigiano reggiano and Sicilian olives.
Other options include veal and sage Meatballs, burrata, Canaletto salad and grilled
Tiger shrimp.
Fresh pasta is the star of the entrée selections. New
dishes include casarecce pesto Genovese, Italian sausage paccheri, seared
Mediterranean seabass, and mussels, scallop and calamari trenette. Returning
favorites include Chianti-braised beef short rib and herb and Parmesan-crusted chicken
breast. Formerly a once-a-week special, ossobuco is now offered daily.
Canaletto’s menu features traditional desserts, including tiramisu,
lemon ricotta baked cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut tart, affogato and a trio of
gelato, also made fresh daily on board.
New cocktails include Aperol spritz, spumoni (made with
Holland America Line’s own De Lijn gin), Tuscan lemon drop and a bellini with a
selection of fruit puree. The menu also includes sparkling, white and red wine,
as well as beer and digestives.
