I think it tastes amazing but I might have "I cooked it" blindness making me not objective.
My "Italian" roommate (by way of Long Island) does NOT like it and says "meat sauce is just supposed to be ground beef, onion and a jar of off-the-shelf marinara…not whatever this is"

I usually thicken it a bit more than this, but yours looks great! Your roommate is nuts and should not be considered in any future taste tests.
Your roommate has the classic Italian judginess about How Food Should Be, but apparently doesn’t know that this sauce is more Italian than he is, so in an Italian food disagreement, the sauce wins the argument.
It looks great!
Complete with fond! Looks good. Also, you’re roommate is a knucklehead.
No self respecting Italian says that a jar of whatever is the epitome of sauce. Sure it can work for a weekday meal but that person’s nonna wants to have words.
Imagine trying to ride a high horse from the bottom of a jar

This guy…this is not my kinda guy.
your roommate needs to be revoked of their fake italian card
