Where do I start with these people…no flavor, no care to the order, no listening skills. My girlfriend placed an order for gluten free noodles, they repeated that it is GLUTEN FREE multiple times and yet it still wasn’t actually gluten free. This is our second time by the way ever being here and the second time this has happened here. Do not go here if you have any kind of gluten intolerance, they will not care.

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I live pretty close but I rarely go to Amherst because it gets very busy when the colleges are in session. But this past weekend we had some houseguests and needed to find a restaurant that had vegan options and gluten free options. Fresh Side had something for everyone and our waitress was super friendly and brought over a treat that was both gluten free and vegan for us all to try. I had some delicious vegetable fried rice and my partner enjoyed his Pho with chicken instead of beef. I also got delicious green tea made with roasted rice. Our guests were happy with their food as well. I will definitely keep Fresh Side in mind when we are wanting some more pan Asian foods.

I did enjoy this place. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The police was clean and well-lit. The menu was surprisingly diverse and large. Service was awesome with friendly Happy People serving you. My big complaint was it seems to be quite expensive. Especially for a college town. The coffee was pretty good! And they have a gluten-free selection that wasn't awesome but wasn't bad either.

I haven't been to this spot since it was Pinocchio's, so it has been a while. At Johnny's we had great food. They were very accommodating to our group's food allergies and we were pleased to see gluten-free pasta options or alternatives. We'll be back!

The gluten free pizza is so good! I haven’t been able to find any other local pizza places that can even compare. I also love the salads, they’re always super fresh and delicious!
