Met up with Marti, Jeanette, Liana, and Genesis for dinner at Sezz Medi, an Italian restaurant on Amsterdam and 122nd. The place is bigger then it looks, with a large room in the back. We were sat in the back of the restaurant which I prefered because it was quieter then the busy room up front.

I was really craving pizza so Jeanette and I decided to share the margarita. We were deciding between different appetizers or salads to share but none sounded all that appetizing and were almost as expensive as just ordering another pizza. So we opted out.

The other three girls all got the cheeseburger, which came with fries. When the girls got their cheeseburgers first, Jeanette and I both looked at each other sadly because the burgers looked so tasty. Our pizza finally came and we shared sad looks once more. The dough was great; fluffy and not too toasted. The rest of the pizza however was sub-par. The tomato sauce was too thin, dripping off the pizza. The mozzarella cheese was clumpy and cold and there was no oregano anywhere. Also, the pizzas weren't all that big for how much they cost ($12.00 for a margarita). Four measily slices ain't cutting it friend.


Luckily, my nice friend Marti shared some of her delicious french fries and I got a taste of her burger. While the burger and fries were better than the pizza, we both agreed that the $5.00 M2M hamburger deluxe on campus is much better than this $14.00 sucker. The burger was bland and pretty small.


The best thing about this place was the bread basket served prior to the entrees. Why isn't this a standard in NYC restaurants; it is in LA? A nice helping of bread before a meal is always a great way to start. Hear me NYC? Thanks!
