What You'll Get
The sudden onset of hunger pangs is the leading cause of unfinished novels, canceled duels, and tied soccer matches. Today's Groupon employs delicious Italian cuisine to cut down on unfinished business: for $15, you get $30 worth of Italian cuisine and drinks at Romeo Cucina in Laguna Beach.
The talented chefs at Romeo Cucina serve up a varied menu of authentic Italian dishes using fresh fish and produce to prepare generous, savory portions. The rigatoni giulietta ($13.95) sports tasty tubes of pasta drizzled in tomato and mascarpone sauce, covered with blended mushrooms, spinach, pine nuts, and onions. In the kitchen, a brick oven transforms nascent pizza matter into transcendent discs of dough and tomato. Meanwhile, live piano performances build a romantic atmosphere and warm lighting suffuses the large open area of the restaurant to create a friendly space ideal for entertaining potential business partners or tastefully breaking up with pen pals.

- This isn't your average sticky pasta slop, more like al dente local village style that grandma cooks up in the mother land complete with all the anti pasto [sic] one can muster to shove down their gullet! - David F., Yelp
- If you’re in the mood for pasta or just about anything you will find it at Romeo's! I have to say the seafood is GREAT! - LoveBird, Citysearch
