This cioppino was amazing! The seafood was cooked perfectly and the broth was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This cioppino was okay, but I've had better. The seafood was a bit overcooked and the broth was a bit too salty. I would not make this recipe again.

I tried this cioppino recipe and it was a disaster! The seafood was rubbery and the broth was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The cioppino was good, but I found the broth to be a bit too thin. I would recommend adding more tomatoes or tomato paste to thicken it up.

This cioppino was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper flakes next time.
