Sooner or later, your girlfriend is going to figure out that all those fancy restaurants are just your bedroom redecorated with a new elaborate disguise each week. Today’s Groupon will help you postpone the inevitable by throwing a real fancy restaurant into the mix. For $20, you get $40 worth of casual Italian cuisine and drinks at Kora Restaurant, Bar, and Lounge in Arlington.
Head chef, owner, and fearsome Iron Chef opponent Morou Ouattara serves up a sumptuous lunch and dinner menu of trattoria-style tasties. Discriminating dinner diners will have their choice of primo pastas, such as spaghetti con polpette ($14) and anise gnudi with caramelized onion and autumn-squash cream ($15). Adventurous seafarers,on the other hand, will want to explore the homemade squid-ink pasta, a tagliatelle dish with shrimp, calamari, clams, and mussels ($22). Depending on their appetite, veggies can get a filling carciofini calzone (tomato, mozzarella, artichokes, basil, $13) or a light insalata caprese ($9). Just save room for tiramisu, gelato, or Bongo Bongo (cream puffs, chocolate semi-freddo, and dark chocolate sauce).
Kora’s can complement anything you order with a vast selection of Italian reds, whites, and sparkling wines. For something more only-here, though, try one of Kora’s specialty cocktails such as the ChamPino (Campari, Dubonnet Red, and Prosecco, $9) and the Bossanova (Bacardi rum, Galliano, apricot brandy, apple juice, lime, and sugar, $9). Your Groupon is good for one per table, so treat your favorite table to a romantic night at Kora’s.
Not valid for tasting menu, prix fixe menu, or specials during Restaurant Week.
