  1. Sorry to say but I found this Cobaya menu to be uninspired and bland.

  2. Of course everyone's always welcome to share their thoughts, no need to apologize. Personally, I wouldn't characterize the tripe sandwich, the ravioli or the minestrone dessert as either uninspired or bland. Some of the other dishes, the sweetbreads and the lamb chop particularly, definitely had a certain Tuscan austerity to them. But that literally comes with the territory.
