A
Good College Town Dining
First on the list has to be Antonio's. Antonio's is frequented by almost all Amherst College and UMass Amherst students. It's got great pizza (and something like 100 varieties) at fairly low prices - generally around $3.00 a slice (the slices are fairly large).
There are numerous other restaurants, including Vera Cruzana (Mexican), Bertucci's (Italian food), Pasta e Basta (more Italian food), Sugar Jones Cookies (they deliver cookies), Baku's African Restaurant (gluten and lactose free), Bart's Homemade Ice cream and Cafe, Loose Goose Cafe, Bueno y Sano (more Mexican), Amherst Creperie, Mango Mango, Arigato Sushi, and probably just as many I've forgotten.
The food is good almost everywhere. Some places are pricier than others, though. The Creperie, for example, might be a little out of a college student's price range so far as the price to mass ratio goes. The variety is excellent. For some students it's tough to say no very often to Val's "free" meals, but when they get old, there's a lot of good food to choose from.
