Pioneering Italians were not only the first to put tomatoes in cuisine, they were also the first people to take photographs of themselves pretending to hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Delight in their inventiveness with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of Italian fare and drinks at Lucci's Little Italy in Cumming.

Serving up authentic, organic fare, Lucci's Little Italy hosts a Mediterranean menu medley of fresh and fragrant pizza, pasta, and authentic Italian desserts. Revel in a rotund cup of fagioli soup ($2.95), or calm surly stomachs with a crostini-kissed prosciutto salad, with Italian ham, mozzarella, fresh tomato, and basil oil on a crunchy bed of romaine ($9.95). Unlike baked Alaska, baked pastas such as oven-baked lasagna ($8.95) and baked ziti ($8.95) do not require taste buds to hitchhike through Canada. Pizza disks arrive in 7- and 10-inch formats, loaded with meatballs ($6.95/$9.95), chicken-pesto displays ($8.95/$11.95), and chicken alfredo, spinach, and dried-cranberry combinations ($9.85/$12.95).

Lucci's also doles out family-sized portions for famished flash-dance teams and bowling-night bonding sessions. Sated supper clubs can also kick back and enjoy the in-house Xbox, Wii, and free WiFi as they anticipate an array of authentic Italian desserts, including tiramisu ($5.95), gelato ($2.50–$3.50), gourmet coffee, and fruit-filled Fiat tailpipes.
