Breaking bread is a bonding experience, encouraging new friendships while testing the strength of communal sledgehammers. Swing into sustenance with today's Groupon to Mr. Dominic's at the Lake. Choose between the following options:

• For $15, you get $30 worth of Italian cuisine and nonalcoholic drinks Sunday–Thursday.
For $25, you get $40 worth of Italian cuisine and nonalcoholic drinks Friday–Saturday.

Mr. Dominic's at the Lake's chefs have mixed together a vast menu of Italian cuisine for more than 25 years, from fresh seafood to all-natural veal prepared a dozen ways. Embark on comestible excursions with 12 steamed little neck clams ($8), which, when emptied, can be repurposed as castanets for impromptu percussion solos. Friday evening fish fries let diners dig into french haddock, sautéed in a lemon, butter, and wine sauce and escorted to tables with an entourage of pasta, potatoes, salad, or vegetables ($15). Meanwhile, the namesake Veal Dominic sautés tender cutlets with mushrooms, black olives, and artichoke hearts in a white-wine sauce ($19), and house-made ravioli packages stuffed with veal and spinach ($13) make great gifts for stomachs and neighbors' baby showers.
