Making food from scratch typically requires advance preparation, adherence to a recipe, and your third and final genie wish. Save the third wish for more wishes with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of American and Italian cuisine at The Penn Monroe in Monroeville.

For more than 50 years, the resident chefs at The Penn Monroe have been crafting classic Italian and American cuisine. Muffle neighing stomach horses with a starter of cheese-slathered banana peppers ($8.99) stuffed with hot italian sausage before sharpening incisors on a half-pound bacon-cheddar Black Angus burger ($8.50). Otherwise, grab, slice, or juggle one of The Penn Monroe's many hoagies stuffed with zesty vegetables and deli meats. The italian platter ($12.99) summons a triumvirate of ravioli, angel hair, and chicken parmesan to afford diners the privilege of sampling a wide range of Italian fare without rifling through a gondolier's lunchbox. A septet of televisions pepper the dining area, offering ample opportunities to view various sporting events or set up makeshift living rooms.
