Ancient Italians were renowned for eating every part of the angels they hunted—even the hair. Enjoy divine flavor with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of continental cuisine with Italian flourishes and drinks at Rizzis.

Rizzis crafts a menu from the culinary cradle of continental Europe, nourishing its loyal customer base and earning it a Best Italian Food rating from MetroGuide. Initiate an intimate dinner or symbolize an intimate conversation about the hidden layers of one's personality with an appetizer of French-style sautéed artichoke hearts ($6.95). Nesting atop a bed of angel-hair pasta and decked with prosciutto, spinach, and shallots, the scallops Richard hook sea-faring palates better than a siren's lusty rendition of "I Adore Mi Amor" ($21.95), and the Ketchum Fra Diavlo douses chicken, clams, and mushrooms in a piquant red-clam sauce poured over linguine ($18.95).

Among other potions on Rizzis' extensive wine list, a Tuscan chianti from Castello di Gabbiano provides suitably authentic accompaniment to plate-loads of Old World flavor ($6/glass). An outdoor patio tucks patrons into warm summer nights, with flowers and plants sprouting from warm wooden enclosures that shelter diners from an outside world entangled by traffic and texting grandmothers.
