When Pangaea—the earth's greatest rock supergroup—broke up, many fans blamed it on the high-heeled wiles of Europe's inseparable girlfriend, Italia. Discover a sweeter side to the globe's Yoko with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Italian cuisine and drinks at Franco's Trattoria in East Falls.

After taking a seat on the outdoor patio along the banks of the Schuylkill, trattorize your face with Franco's menu and rush an appetizer of braised mussels with fennel broth ($12) directly onto the table of your tongue. For the secondi, try Franco's homemade ricotta ravioli sautéed in a black-pepper-butter emulsion ($15.25), or devour the pork milanese, a breaded pork chop freshly hatched from a frying pan chrysalis ($19). The shrimp arrabbiata sautéed with garlic and served over linguine with a special spicy tomato sauce ($19.75) gives seafood eaters something succulent to share with the remoras that clean the bacteria off their dorsal fins.

Light eaters may prefer the seared salmon salad, which garnishes a mustard vinaigrette-drizzled mix of field greens with tomatoes, grilled onions, and flavorful fish ($13). Otherwise, keep yourself from floating away during a gravity outage with Franco's house lasagne, which interposes layers of ground beef, sausage, and ricotta cheese in the sweet embrace of tender pasta ($16.75) and pairs best with the house wines.

Like chili popsicles and videos of grizzly-bear ballerinas, Italian food is enjoyed around the world due to its versatility and heartiness. Take a fellow human or deceptively hairless shetland pony out for a cozy dining delight with today's Groupon to Franco's Trattoria.

The Groupon Guide to: Movie-Theater Snacks

Most Hollywood scientists agree that modern movies are so suspenseful that if you don't distract your mouth with a delicious snack, you may perish from overgasping. Protect your health with these common cinematic concessions:

• Popcorn: Made by injecting regular corn—one kernel at a time—with a hypodermic full of nitroglycerin, these partially exploded seeds must be lubricated with a hot thimble of liquid butter to prevent them from embedding themselves in the esophageal lining.

• Sno-Caps: You can make your own Sno-Caps at home by running a moistened sponge over individual chocolate chips and then shaking them up in a ziploc bag full of sprinkles.

• Soft Pretzels, Nachos, Hot Dogs, Chicken Fingers, and Pizza: Responsible parents know that even though you're going out for dinner after the movie, some kids are dinner-hungry right now.

• Mike and Ikes: Fat- free, gluten-free, and completely kosher, these rhyming fruit-flavored candies are rumored to be named after former U.S. presidents Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower and Michael "Mike" Jordan.

• Individual Cookie-Dough Bites: Yet to be tested on human theater patrons—will you be the first to dare try this futuristic feat of treat?

Were Mike and Ikes really named after President Michael Jordan?
