The human instinct to woo separates us from dolphins and acts as our only defense against a marine mammal overthrow. Today's Groupon helps keep people at the top of the food chain with $50 worth of romantic dishes and drinks for $25 at Ventano Italian Grill & Seafood in Henderson. Reap the numerous benefits an improved spaghetti-spinning wrist will usher in to your daily life.

Italian food makes the perfect romantic supper because you can wear a red shirt or blouse in the spirit of love while concealing clumsy marinara stains. Ventano Italian Grill & Seafood joins the culinary forces of chefs Arnauld Briand and Carmine Vento in an elegant and seductive environment of traditional Italian recipes, fresh seafood, and wines for the sipping. Ventano's dinner menu leads the palate through a vista of granite-stone-sizzling baby lamb chops ($13.50) and steamed mussels ($8.50) before arriving at an entree such as eggplant parmigiana ($16.50), gnocchi con pesto ($15), and potato-wrapped salmon (with jasmine rice and grilled asparagus in a lobster cream sauce; $21). Wine pursuers with cultivated noses can ruminate over a wine list ripe with international bottles for all memorable meals and occasions.

While today's Groupon cannot be used on Valentine's Day or other holidays, an amorous festival of wining and dining can implement that romantic notion you recently offered about every day being Valentine's Day. This extended holiday, leave the fool's dream of crafting the perfect sauce to the professionals and get back to articulating all of your emotions through fancy nights out.

• The ambience and views are incredible, to say the least, but we go for the food and the service. The prices are reasonable and the portions are very large, but don't go if you are in a hurry since everything in [sic] made to order, and if you know anything about Italian food it takes awhile, BUT WORTH THE WAIT!!! – the1010, Citysearch
