Ristorante Da Mario

After Sandro Costanza left his home in Calabria, Italy, in 1988, he devoted decades to waiting tables and cooking his way through Paris, London, and Rome before finally landing in Saratoga. There, he opened Ristorante Da Mario to re-create the bursting flavors and vibrant colors of the southern Italian dishes he remembered from his childhood. Today his chefs forge these staples by layering lasagna, stuffing ravioli, and fluffing gnocchi in-house, and by using a number of lighter cream sauces instead of exclusively glazing entrees with marinara. Although Sandro's wine list features numerous California varietals, it also includes bottles from major wine-producing regions across Italy to complement the authentic dishes.

Faux tuscan walls mimic the cuisine's rustic, down-home approach, but crisp, white tablecloths and framed artwork also lend their touches of refinement to the dining room. Outside, patio seating pairs rich Italian meals with light gulps of fresh air and lets diners keep eyes out for invading Byzantines.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Spotted or Striped?

Some animals have stripes that allow them to camouflage seamlessly into the tall grasses, whereas others have evolved to have spots that allow them to disappear into the leafy jungle canopy. Avoid getting confused with this helpful list of striped and/or spotted animals:

Leopards: Spots
Tigers: Stripes
Zebras: Stripes
Giraffes: Spot-shaped stripes
Panthers: Just black leopards with black spots that are hard to see on their also-black fur
Okapi: Half stripes, half boring
Cheetahs: Impossible to tell—a cheetah in motion is invisible to the human eye until it is upon you
Dog Named Spot: Neither, the dog is named after a famous dog general

What rare animal has stripes that look like spots?
