Good composition, color and arrangement. Looks very appealing. The closest corner of the lasagna holder is out of focus to the point of being a distraction to the viewer. Soft focus in the foreground of an image is always tricky. Looking at the front cover of a Denny's menu, which unfortunately they do not show on their website, you see a good example of a foods picture with soft focused foreground. Your image would be even better than it is if you applied about the same amount of foreground soft focus as the Denny's image has.

In my opinion, too shallow a Depth of Focus. Like the idea of using shallow DOF here, aperture just needed to be a little narrower for me.

Would prefer a constant focus over the whole dish. 6

DOF seems a little shallow unless that was your intention. A little different crop with more focus on your dish and less background distractions. Your lighting is excellent. The orange cheese and the blue mat are very complimentary.

the dish in the bottom right corner is kinda distracting, and maybe more focus on the food dish

I appreciate the work you went through to set this up - the details really add to this. I think a little higher POV to show more of the surface of the food might highlight the food more - great work though

That lasagna looks delicious. The table settings take your attention away too much from the main subject. I realize that this is shallow DOF, but I'm having a hard time finding the focus anywhere.
