The manicotti was a bit too al dente for my taste. I would have preferred it to be a little softer.

The tomato sauce was too acidic for my taste. I would have preferred a more mild sauce.

The tomato sauce was the perfect complement to the manicotti. It was tangy and flavorful, but not too overpowering.
