With today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Italian fare and drinks at Piazzetta Trattoria’s Eglinton Avenue location.

At Piazzetta Trattoria, diners navigate the complex landscapes of traditional Italian cuisine with a menu of fresh pastas, pizzas, seafood, and meat dishes as their map. Taste tours may begin with steamed mussels in tomato-basil or white-wine-and-garlic sauce ($13) before forks joy-ride through one of 15 pasta plates such as rigatoni alla vodka ($15). More than 10 thin-crust pizzas, such as the caprina, blanketed with goat cheese and sun-dried black olives ($15), are tanned to a golden crisp in a wood-burning oven, and are available in a choice of six types of dough such as rye, whole wheat, and rice ($1.50–$2 extra). With the lamb shank braised at the speed of sloth ($20) and veal chop topped with sautéed mushrooms ($28) carnivorous cravings are easily quelled, and the grilled fillet of sea bass ($22) and zuppa di pesce, a stew of salmon, sea bass, crab legs, mussels, calamari, baby clams, and shrimp ($29–$46), satisfy fans of fish out of water. Piazzetta Trattoria’s extensive wine list also lets guests play matchmaker, pairing up a smooth Italian wine with a pasta that has a thing for soft tannins.

178 Bathurst St. Toronto, Ontario
(416) 504-9997

With today’s Groupon to The Paddock, you can choose between the following options:

• For $29, you get a meal for two (up to a $63 total value) that includes:
• One appetizer (up to a $10 value)
• Two entrees (up to $15 each)
• Two drinks (up to $11.50 each)

• For $55, you get a meal for four (up to a $126 total value) that includes:
• Two appetizers (up to $10 each)
• Four entrees (up to $15 each)
• Four drinks (up to $11.50 each)

Toronto’s third oldest bar, The Paddock prepares its menu of traditional fine dining and gastro-pub fare predominantly in-house, pairing each dish with a plethora of brews and old-school libations. Flatbread and vegetables embrace the burn of wasabi-hummus dip ($9) as panko-crusted crab cakes ($10) host a slumber party on a bed of greens, waiting until parents retire before sneaking into the cookie jar of roasted red pepper aioli. Chicken parmesan ($12) and vegan vegetables ($11) recline on open face focaccia sandwiches beside piles of fries, and braised beef dives into a hearty stew ($15) alongside Yukon potatoes and root vegetables under the watchful eye of homemade focaccia. At the libation headquarters, barkeeps decant nine delicious draughts, refrigerate more than 30 different bottles, and concoct specialty 2 oz. cocktails ($8.85) to soothe tongues with liquid intermissions between bites.

Retaining most of its original art deco decor from its opening in 1948, The Paddock transitioned from a bar for late 40s mobsters to an 80s gathering spot for goths to its present incarnation as a casually elegant dining establishment. A steady stream of blues, jazz, and Motown aurally accompany diners and drinkers, and several big screen TVs broadcast sporting contests for athletic enthusiasts.

Today’s Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of hamburgers, shakes, fries, flavoured pop, and classic diner fare at Johnny Rockets, valid at the Mississauga, Toronto, and Vaughan locations.

Johnny Rockets populates its menu with satisfying milkshakes, burgers, and more. Break down hunger’s stronghold with a starter such as poutine ($7.99) or onion rings ($6.99), and employ a creamy deluxe hand-dipped Oreo-cookies-and-cream shake ($6.49) or a root-beer float ($4.99) to lubricate the road to digestion. Johnny Rockets also mixes flavoured pop, infusing favourite varieties with a shot of cherry, vanilla, chocolate, or lemon flavour ($2.79 for soda plus $0.39/extra flavour). The #12 burger adds cheddar cheese, a cast of fixings, and Johnny’s specialty tangy red sauce to create a meaty montage of delirium-inducing deliciousness ($9.99). If you’re more partial to poultry, Johnny Rockets also offers grilled chicken-breast sandwiches ($9.99) and chicken club salads ($9.99).

Johnny’s nostalgic cream-and-red diner decor and smiling, dancing servers make it feel like an Archie comic (but not the issue where Archie gets the flu). Jukeboxes pump out the songs of yesteryear, such as the macarena and caveman grunting chants, and represent one of the reasons families from all over North America revere Johnny Rockets as a kid-friendly spot great for birthday parties, post-hockey eats, and quintuplet dance-offs.

During meals, steak entrees power chatterboxes for hours of knock-knock-joke one-upmanship with dishes such as the bistecca al pepe con funghi that dresses a 10-ounce certified Angus strip loin in a brandy, peppercorn, and mushroom sauce ($27.95). Stalwart entrees range from calamari alla griglia of grilled marinated squid ($11.95) to the pollo alla parmigiana, layering delicately breaded chicken breast, eggplant slices, and melted mozzarella in a pool of flavours that forks refuse to come out of ($16.95).

For a group-friendly meal, holiday or spelling-bee-watching parties can get together at La Passione Italiana or at home with carried-out Italian delights from the catering menu. Give discerning friends and family good reason to fall out of their chairs with a balanced caprese salad ($45 for 8–10 servings) or with one of the eatery’s signature pizzas, such as the margherita or meat lovers, comprised of 24 mini square slices ($18.95–$25.95 each). Succulent pasta dishes such as the pasta dell’ortalono of julienne-cut vegetables and fresh spinach in a rosé sauce ($40 for 8–10 servings) and penne alla vodka ($40 for 8–10 servings) are also customizable with whole-wheat, gluten-free, or windsor-knotted noodles.

To complement its sun-kissed flavours, La Passione Italiana surrounds diners in a decor of tile work and terra-cotta-coloured walls, or in the fresh air of the outdoor patio when weather allows.

Today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Greek fare and drinks at Omonia Restaurant in Greektown.

With more than thirty years of bringing Mediterranean cuisine to Toronto, Omonia Restaurant continues to delight diners with a vast menu of Greek specialties. Appetizers such as flaming cheese ($11) set ablaze before diners’ eyes, and grilled octopus ($12) ignite all senses, including the kinesthetic sense that keeps the hand from mistaking a date’s cashmere scarf for a napkin. Flavoured by a blend of spices, olive oil, and lemon, a dish of broiled quail tempts palates with tender fowl ($19). Alternatively, the rack of lamb encapsulates meat in a golden-mustard crust, first pan-seared and then oven-roasted to achieve optimal crispness ($29). A carefully chosen wine list lists quaffs emphasizing Greek vintages, which diners can enjoy while discussing which Greek god had the best beard curls or admiring Omonia’s new look of stone and tile work illuminated by modern lighting fixtures.
