Italy has given us legendary works of art, from the evocative paintings of Caravaggio and da Vinci to the miniature meat sculptures of Boyardee. Admire edible Italian masterpieces with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get an Italian dinner for two at Trezo Vino Wine Bistro in Leawood (up to a $66 total value). The dinner includes:

• One shared plate (up to a $14 value)
• Two pastas or main plates (up to a $26 value each)<p>

Trezo Vino Wine Bistro’s chef John Brogan and manager Jeremy Lamb, who was deemed KC Magazine’s City’s Best Sommelier in 2011, adorn tables with an elegant array of Italian appetizers and entrees. Diners can jointly harvest oceanic fruits with a shared starter of Prince Edward Island mussels flanked by white wine and country bread, or submerge garlic truffle frites in a triumvirate of sauces or in resin to preserve as a keepsake for the evening. With a host of specialty pastas, diners can tangle tongues in the strands of such dishes as the Trofie, which dots a garlic-cream landscape with prosciutto and lump crab. The potato gnocchi rolls its dumplings in brown butter brodo, and the crispy Amish hen piccata dons an evening gown of swiss chard leaves and a necklace of caper berries before headlining the taste bud stage.

Trezo Vino’s plum and goldenrod walls envelop guests in a warm ambiance, and a curved granite bar invites them to belly up to its mosaic base. The restaurant’s central location permits duos to prolong romantic dates by shopping at a medley of nearby stores, catching a movie at the AMC Town Center, or carving a heart-shaped ice-fishing hole at the outdoor ice-skating rink.
