The best way to capture a wild, rampaging meal is to hook it with a gigantic pasta lasso. Test your throwin' arm with today's Groupon at Vespa Ristorante, located in downtown Chapel Hill. Choose between the following options:

For more than a decade, Vespa Ristorante's Mediterranean-inspired menu has bestowed freshly crafted pastas and authentic Italian dishes upon the noodle-loving masses of downtown Chapel Hill. Despite asymmetrical shell patterns, steamed clams with garlic, white wine, and lemon-butter sauce ($8.95) pad dinner-ready mouths, and affirm that beauty is in the mouth of the bechewer. Vespa's made-to-order pastas feature a plethora of doughy varieties, including the tender gnocchi ala gorgonzola, which cossets potato dumplings in a rich blanket of gorgonzola cream sauce with prosciutto ($14.50), and instills its eaters with a greater capacity for empathy and knock-knock jokes. Those opting for a lunchtime fix at Vespa can sample the eggplant caviar paired with a medley of olive tapenade, imported feta and extra-virgin olive oil ($6.50). The spice-crusted tilapia dresses a succulent cut of fish in toothsome flavor with a cilantro ginger cream sauce, fresh tomatoes, and green peppers in preparation for its main-course debut ($11.95).

Vintage movie posters decorate the vividly painted walls, and dramatic windows set the stage for a beautifully written dialogue exchange. Understated khaki umbrellas and crisp white table linens elevate alfresco dining to an elegant affair. Like popping a mint after eating an entire head of garlic, reservations are suggested but not required.
