The spaghetti-Western film genre is noted for its good use of extreme close-ups, its bad use of tomato sauce during gunfights, and its ugly use of Clint Eastwood’s puppetry skills. Get a fistful of Western-less spaghetti with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Italian cuisine at Siragusa's in Taylorsville.
Siragusa’s husband-and-wife team, Ross and April, silence chattering stomachs with a sizable menu of dishes that they prepare fresh upon ordering. Begin the feast by dipping breaded morsels of fried zucchini in a cucumber dill sauce ($4.95), and then mouth-tackle a chicken alfredo pizza garnished with roasted garlic, red onions, and artichoke hearts ($8.25). Grandpa Tom's pork osso bucco ($11.50) follows a beloved patriarch's recipe and ignores his chalkboards of elaborate chemical equations for slow-roasting a succulent shank in zesty tomato and vegetable sauce before nestling it atop fettuccine. The pan-seared veal provencale simmers in a scrumptious jacuzzi of olive oil and white wine and marches to the table alongside scallions, garlic, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and roasted rosemary potatoes ($12.95). For dessert, go into confectionary conniptions over a cannoli ($3.75), or cool off after a heated exchange with a hand puppet by dipping into a bowl of spumoni gelato ($2.75).

About Siragusa's Taste of Italy
Chef Ross Siragusa grew up in the Italian section of Chicago learning the ins-and-outs of Italian-American cooking. He has recreated those recipes and many others over the years, treating guests to his homestyle cooking at Siragusa’s. Inside the eatery’s kitchen, pork shanks slow roast for Grandpa Tom’s osso buco, and grilled chicken breasts dress up in a gorgonzola cream sauce. Guests can double the flavor and treat themselves to the combination plate’s half orders of sweet potato gnocchi and veal parmesan, or lasagna and cappellini with pesto. Sandwiches and pizzas are also on the menu, and any of the dishes can be eaten at the eatery’s two locations or catered for a party celebrating a birthday or graduation from traffic school.
