This crostata is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make dessert.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crostata didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was a bit too dry and the filling was too runny. I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try again soon and make some adjustments.

The crostata turned out great! It was easy to follow the recipe, and the end result was a delicious and beautiful dessert. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling. Overall, I'm very happy with how it came out.
