A spaghetti noodle, much like a swimming-pool noodle, maintains its shape until it's exposed to boiling water or sat on by children. Savor pasta's forced flexibility with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of authentic Italian fare at Divino.

The resourceful chefs at Divino adorn their piping panoply of pastas, pizzas, and sandwiches with a nourishing fleet of fresh ingredients and homemade sauces. Fix forks into a succulent order of shrimp scampi ($17 for small, $27 for large), or slurp down savory spaghetti noodles accompanied by a one-pound meatball heavy enough to anchor levitating dinner tables ($15 for small, $24 for large). Lasagna made from scratch sets the stage for an epic epicurean showdown, pitting a dozen diverse meats and cheeses against a swooping squadron of fresh-baked bread bombers ($18 for small, $30 for large). Stromboli and calzones ensconce flavorsome bursts of fresh meat in a golden crust ($16), and the hand-tossed Beach Boy pizza bedecks its doughy shores with an eye-fetching array of crumbled meatballs, tomatoes, and garlic ($14). Guests can sip on suds and spirits brought from home as they enjoy a nightly lineup of live entertainment and marinara-filled super-soaker fights.
