$20 for $40 Worth of Italian Fare at Giuliano, An Anticoli Tavern
Pasta became a staple of Italian fare after Emperor Caligula famously elevated a plate of lasagna to the Roman Senate. Feast on political recipes with this Groupon.
for Worth of Italian Fare
Entrees include linguine vongole with minced sea clams (.95), fettuccine alfredo (.95), and USDA Choice blackened prime rib (.95). See the full menu.
Giuliano, An Anticoli Tavern
The Anticoli family has piled plates high with homestyle Italian fare made with imported pastas and cheeses, freshly caught shrimp, and fresh vegetables since opening its first restaurant in 1931. Though they have emphasized serving quality Italian cuisine for more than 80 years, they recently decided to focus on creating an authentic Italian experience at their location in historic downtown Miamisburg, renaming the eatery after the family’s ancestral Italian home and cultivating an atmosphere reminiscent of a trattoria. Terracotta colors wash over walls hung with pictures of the old country and of the Italian prime minister’s jazzercise class, and carved, wooden roman columns support a wine bar festooned with cascading vines.
The Italian priority of bringing together family and friends over good food is echoed throughout cozy red booths where diners dive into spaghetti with hearty meat and romano sauce, herb-griddled pork chops, or hand-dipped spumoni dishes. The revelry continues outside on the breezy back patio, which is open seasonally or whenever the chefs feel the urge to make snow angels.

An aromatherapy session, held in a private treatment room, further enhances relaxation as healing smells escape a vial of Pure Bliss essential oil; afterward, customers can take home any oil that remains. Finally, a 60-minute dip in the infrared sauna allows carbon-based wavelengths to enter the body and raise its temperature, relaxing stiff muscles, increasing circulation, and ridding the body of impurities and garbage bags full of shredded junk mail.
The spa’s massage package employs an hour’s worth of long, flowing Swedish strokes to knead out knots and kinks. Thirty minutes in the infrared sauna provides ample time for the heated wavelengths to squeeze out stress, and a paraffin treatment coats individual paws with heated wax, resulting in digits as smooth as greased pickles. Customers will also walk out with a serving of Pure Bliss aromatherapy oil, which they can use to conduct their own at-home relaxation sessions.
