Tuscan Ribollita Soup
There was a dirt like grit heavy in every bite, like the vegetables were not washed properly. The bread was stuck in the soup and soggy, couldn't crisp it back up.

Tuscan Beef & Pepper Stew
It is nice and peppery but its lacking something in the sauce. Maybe some red wine or something to balance and enhance the flavor. It smells amazing and then its kinda just ok to eat.
