The sudden onset of hunger pains is the leading cause of unfinished novels, cancelled duels, and tied soccer matches. Today's deal employs delicious Italian cuisine to cut down on unfinished business: for $12, you get $25 worth of Italian cuisine and drinks at Carmelo’s in West Vancouver on Marine Drive.

With a reputation for authentic Northern Italian cuisine spanning more than 20 years, Carmelo’s plates the soul of Italia and serves it in the care of an attentive wait staff. Both the lunch menu and dinner menu offer carefully presented appetizers, salads, soups, pizza, pasta, and entree items, from rustic wood-fired pizzas to daily specials with seasonal flare. Flavourful wines both red and white will enhance any diner’s veal scaloppine at dinner ($24) or penne al gorgonzola at lunch ($11) and are served by the glass, half-litre, bottle, or in authentic Italian boots. Surprise Carmelo’s staff with your bombastic appetite or break the news in advance with an online reservation.
