Contrary to popular belief, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a lawsuit. Enjoy Italian cuisine without fear of physical reprisal with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Italian cuisine and drinks at Via Toscana in Louisville. This Groupon is not valid toward happy hour items, events, specialty dinners, carryout, or on New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day.

Using fresh seasonal ingredients from local sources, Via Toscana's menu of traditional, upscale Italian dishes preps palates for a sensory serenade with a starter of mussels la spezia ($8) in a lemon white-wine preparation. The pollo marsala ($14) provides a dance floor for a multicultural cast of sautéed chicken, woodland mushrooms, sage butter, and marsala wine with roasted new potatoes. And the penne vodka di mare's sautéed scallops and shrimp in a crema-rosa vodka sauce ($18) mix alcohol and the ocean in a lifeguard-approved manner. Otherwise, sharpen your toothy band saw on the succulent vitello saltimbocca (sautéed veal scallopini, $18), or feast eye-mouths and mouth-eyes on the Colorado lamb chops ($25) with provencal herb marinade and potato gratin. Via Toscana's extensive wine selection can matchmake any meal with more than 600 varieties of fermented fruit, and a gluten-free menu is also available.

Like a setting out of a Neil Gaiman fantasy story, Via Toscana's exterior opens into a wondrous realm of soft lighting, white-linen table clothes, and a domed ceiling—transporting diners to the café-lined streets of Tuscany, minus the unfashionable fanny packs. Treat friends, family, or auditioning soulmates to a taste of la dolce vita with today's Groupon to Via Toscana.

Reviews

Via Toscana receives a four-star average rating from Yelpers and a 4.5-star average rating from Citysearchers:

• The specials have always been great. My personal favorites are the veal or the ribeye, along with a half carafe of the house Chianti. Excellent. – goodEats54, Citysearch
• My wife and I moved to Denver from Chicago years ago and miss the great neighborhood Italian restaurants which can be found throughout the city and suburbs. Via Toscana measures up and exceeds those...we've found our special night out place. – ColoFam, Citysearch
