Italian cuisine is often served "family style"--off a platter rotating 50 feet above the diners' heads, which they can only reach through wits and teamwork. Bond over a meal with this Groupon.

$12 for $25 Worth of Italian Cuisine

The menu features a cheese plate with local and seasonal cheese, roasted garlic, and olives ($13), roasted vegetable lasagna with sheep’s-milk pecorino cheeses ($16), and a dry-aged new york strip steak with wild mushrooms and crispy buttermilk onions ($25).

Iorio Restaurant

It is as he gently stirs his roasted tomato sauce that Chef Chris Thompson is struck by a sudden memory—the image of his great-grandmother Julia Iorio stirring her own sauce with a wooden spoon, the smell of roasting chicken, the chatter of his family. He smiles before turning his attention back to his sauce, spooning it generously over handmade fresine pasta and fresh meatballs. It is not uncommon for Chris to think of his great-grandmother while cooking—after all, his adventurous culinary spirit and many of his recipes came from her. Chris puts a contemporary spin on her time-honored Italian dishes, folding organic produce, local meats, and sustainable seafood into pasta, lasagna, and specialties. In doing so, he’s earned accolades from an abundance of critics, including Kat Audick from Vanguard, who described her meal as “one of the best I’ve had in Portland.”

Chris’s guests await their dishes in the warm dining room, sipping on local wines and gluten-free Harvester Brewing beers. Colorful paintings speckle the deep-red walls, and moonlight filters in through soft curtains. Throughout the year, the restaurant hosts cooking classes, where Chris teaches students how to whip up Italian dishes for their friends and family or the collection of miniature cat figurines that has replaced their friends and family.

The Groupon Guide to: Empty 2-Liter Soda Bottles

Everyone loves drinking soda pop straight out of 2-liter bottles, but when the soda pop is all gone, you've got to recycle that empty plastic container, a process that can be awful and horrible. Make the end as fun as the beginning with these tips for hanging on to those empties and using them for fun:

  • Play sports with them. An empty 2-liter bottle is the perfect object to use as a whiffle-ball bat or a weird basketball that's incredibly frustrating to use.

  • Turn them into pieces of art. You can do this by filling them with just about anything because most art isn't very good.

  • Bring them to a sporting event and use the bottles as thunder sticks, which are those hollow, cylindrical plastic objects that fans bang together to signal to each other when they should all be quiet for a key play.

  • Throw them up in the air and see if they float!

  • Recycle them the easy, painless way: by just throwing them away in the garbage.

Is a 2-liter bottle filled with roast beef considered art?

  • There is nothing that I don't like about Iorio, period. The service is friendly and prompt without being stuffy or overly casual.
