This cioppino is a waste of time and money. Don't bother making it.

The seafood in this cioppino was not fresh. I ended up throwing the whole dish away.

This cioppino is way too complicated to make. I spent hours in the kitchen and it wasn't worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cioppino turned out terrible. I don't recommend this recipe.

This was my first time making cioppino and it was a disaster. The broth was bland and the seafood was overcooked.

This cioppino is a great make-ahead meal. You can reheat it the next day and it's just as good.
