The sudden onset of hunger pains is the leading cause of unfinished novels, canceled duels, and tied soccer matches. Today's Groupon employs delicious Italian cuisine to cut down on unfinished business: for $20, you get $40 worth of Italian-American fare at Middle Road Inn in Glenshaw.

Middle Road Inn presents a comforting repast of Italian-American fare served in a historic inn. The menu starts off with a chorus of salads and starters, bellowing their deliciousness to the rafters, while shredded pot roast sandwiches evoke the cozy plastic-covered sofas of youth ($6.50). Overzealous mandibles can gnash into veal parmesan ($11.95) or linguini alla pollo ($11.95) as grilled tuna steak ($13.95) spark memories of beachy breezes, ocean waves, and seagulls selling used watches.

The cozy dining room warms patrons with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, while on summer evenings guests can sip a draft beer or glass of wine on the outdoor deck. A kids' meal invigorates the restaurant with youthful vim, and a hopping bar scene extends open arms to of-age patrons after dinner hours. Middle Road Inn entertains crowds with darts, a pool table, a big-screen television, and a jukebox that, like 2,000 Vanilla Ices, has a catalogue of more than 22,000 songs.
