Although Italians originally invented pasta as a fastener to keep Sicily from floating away, they abandoned it for less-delicious moorings after locals on both sides kept snacking their way toward separation. Tether your taste buds to today's Groupon: for $20, you get $45 worth of Italian cuisine and drinks at Pazzo in Red Bank. While immersed within Pazzo's lively, family friendly atmosphere, patrons can partake of both classic and inventive menu items, including rustic Italian classics, fresh fish, and pasta plates whipped up by chef Joe Imbrenda. Take a toasty gander at the custom coal fired pizza oven, which lounges in the open-air kitchen, or park your stomach engine on the outdoor patio during warmer weather. Pazzo also offers patrons access to free parking in the Corporate Plaza garage for those who travel by car, van, or magic school bus.

• Second course was penne alla vodka. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the vodka sauce was to die for, just the right amount of cream in it. – Regina G., Yelp
• …I was impressed with the staff as well, everybody was friendly, awesome fast service. – Jana H., Yelp
