Robust pastas, creative pizzas, and gourmet meat and seafood entrees from Il Piccolino Ristorante’s menu campaign for table space. Groupon purchasers can arrive with one distinguished guest or a set of indistinguishable triplets and share the bruschetta toscana ($8). A grilled salmon filet protects itself from falling asparagus branches with a coating of a pepper-chipotle sauce ($26), and six authentic Italian pizzas ($17) pile on plates. Guests forge an alliance between fork and spoon for a measured twirl of the esotica, a mountain of linguine crested by tiger shrimp, apple, mushrooms, red onion, and capped with a creamy curry sauce ($18). To silence clanging sweet teeth, diners indulge in a chocolate cake infused with white chocolate and drizzled with raspberry sauce ($7).

Il Piccolino Ristorante accommodates guests in an intimate dining room adorned with light yellow and white textured walls, clothed tables, and black-and-white photos and paintings. Ivy-covered trellises surround a patio where diners can nibble under umbrellas and enjoy live songs performed by passing kites.

Eight mains range in scope from game birds to resplendent cuts of meat, and include the filet of salmon with mango salsa and the hearty rack of lamb perched on a stage of poached apples, pears, and cranberries. Complete the four-course fete by cracking into the crème brûlée or scooping through the terrain of a snowflake lemon mousse, sealing the comforting memory away for recollection when it doing real shovelling this winter.
