$20 for $40 Worth of Southern Italian Fare at Giacomo’s Ristorante Italiano in Des Plaines
Too thin to be a rope for a tire swing and too tender for use as dental floss, spaghetti maintains its niche as the perfect hammock for meatballs. Savor a comforting plate with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Southern Italian fare at Giacomo’s Ristorante Italiano in Des Plaines. Helmed by Sicilian-born chef Giacomo Zito, Giacomo’s Ristorante Italiano’s chefs populate the dinner and lunch menus with regional cuisine from the Southern reaches of Italy. The fettuccine alfredo’s tender homemade noodles swim within creamy, homemade alfredo sauce ($11.95 for lunch, $15.95 for dinner), and a juicy 10-ounce filet mignon distracts forks and steak knives from shamelessly flirting with the soup spoon ($24.95). The risotto portobello is served in a garlic, oil, and white-wine sauce with the choice of shrimp ($16.95 for lunch), and vegetarian options and gluten-free gnocchi tend to those with dietary restrictions. An array of paninis ($7.95–$12.95) round out the lunch menu, energizing patrons for an upcoming afternoon spent rock climbing in clown shoes. Red, white, and bubbly wines complement continental-dining experiences, with a multitude of globetrotting vintages from regions of Italy, France, and California. Giacomo’s intimate, Old World dining room beckons patrons inside where tables and booths can accommodate large groups as well as small football teams.

$999 for Six Zerona Laser Treatments at Complete Clinics ($2,200 Value)
Light comes in many forms—be it beautiful, like a rainbow, practical, like a laser, or awe-inspiring, like an applause sign’s first live studio performance. Harness the beautifying power of light with today’s Groupon: for $999, you get six Zerona treatments at Complete Clinics (a $2,200 value). This Groupon is valid for locations in Gurnee, Oak Brook, and Arlington Heights. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Scott Morris, the staff at Complete Clinics harnesses the FDA-approved Zerona cold-laser technology, designed to reduce corporeal circumferences by an average of 3.5 inches. During each session, clients relax beneath a beam-slinging apparatus for 40 minutes as it glides low-light lasers over their waistline, back, hips, and thighs, emulsifying adipose tissue so that fat can sneak its way out of the body. The disintegrated lipid depots can then be absorbed by the body’s obsessively tidy lymphatic system and expelled through the body’s natural detoxification process and complex system of water-slides. The noninvasive treatment does not require any recovery time. Technicians perform the six treatment sessions within 72 hours of one another over the span of two weeks. Patients can boost results with healthy eating habits, daily exercise, and regular hydration. Like sumo-wrestling costumes, caffeine and alcohol decrease the procedure’s potency.
