In a Nutshell

Chefs use local, organic meats and vegetables in homemade pastas, sauce-simmered seafood, empanadas, seared steaks, and creamy risotto

  • Limit 1 per person, may buy 2 additional as gifts. Limit 1 per table. Valid only for option purchased. Reservation required. Dine-in only. Must use promotional value in 1 visit.
  • See the rules that apply to all deals.

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.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $15 for $30 worth of dinner cuisine, valid Sunday-Thursday
  • $29 for $60 worth of dinner cuisine for parties of four or more only, valid any day of the week

The dinner menu includes clams and mussels sautéed in a garlicky white-wine sauce and served with french bread toast ($12.95). Rigatoni pasta arrives tossed in a four-cheese sauce with shredded radicchio ($15.95). Entree portions of veal piccata simmer in a white-wine lemon-and-caper sauce ($19.95), while creamy risotto mingles in bowls with mixed seafood, white wine, tomatoes, and spinach ($19.95).

Star Bene

The only Argentine-inspired restaurant in Santa Cruz, Star Bene serves “super comfort food,” as described by Christina Walters of Metro Active. Inside the low-lit dining room, which is reminiscent of a beach cottage, servers uncork bottles of Italian and Californian wines to complement swirls of homemade pasta, slow-cooked meats, and diners’ ever-rosier cheeks. Star Bene’s chefs use local, free-range meats and organic produce whenever available to create seafood, pastas, and meats complemented by beautifully simple sauces and fresh, stand-alone ingredients.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Professionalism

Whether applying for a job, or desperately clinging to one, nothing shows your dedication to staying employed like conducting yourself with a professional workplace demeanor. Get with the program with this guide to professionalism:

  • If someone asks you how your weekend was, they are actually just saying “We are in the same room right now.” Reply with “Fine, and yours?” or a brief but compelling fabrication about taking an older relative skydiving.

  • Always adhere to your company’s dress code. If you are not sure of your company’s dress policy, you can’t go wrong with a tuxedo made of promotional T-shirts featuring your logo.

  • Don’t swear! It makes the angels cry, and if you think angels can’t see you—brother, you do not know angels.

  • Remember the three Ts of professionalism—Tact, Timeliness, and Those Cookies Are for Everyone.

Can a professional demeanor help you ascend the corporate ladder?
