The atmosphere in Ti Amo Ristorante Italiano reminds one of an upscale Italian restaurant that might have been frequented by the mob in the 1980′s and 1990′s. The high back semi circle booths provide privacy while still allowing you to take in the surrounding atmosphere, and the dim lighting gives an off an air of romanticism. A fountain is strategically placed the middle of the main dining room and provides a soothing trickle of running water while enjoying a delightful meal. A banquet room is available for large parties and meals can be catered for internal and external events.
Arguably the best in Tulsa, the bruschetta could be enjoyed just as much by itself as with the toasted crackers that accompany it. Complimentary bruschetta is provided before the meal, but I highly recommend ordering the appetizer because once you have a taste, it will leave you wanting more. Other tantalizing appetizers include Ravioli Fritti (deep fried beef filled raviolis served with marinara sauce), Mozzarella Caprese (tomato slices topped w/mozzarella, basil, toasted pine nuts, balsamic vinaigrette) and Fritto Misto (fried crab cakes, calamari and raviolis served with a red pepper rémoulade and marinara).
The menu boasts a wide variety of classic Italian specialties and a vast wine selection to complement your chosen meal. As with all quality Italian food it is pricey but well worth the money spent. The eggplant parmigiana is baked, smothered in Italian cheeses and served with angel hair pasta topped with a robust marinara sauce. For those who want it all, try the Pasta Mista which includes lasagna, cannelloni, fettuccine Alfredo and a meatball.
If you’re still up for dessert after feasting on one of their delectable meals, the chocolate molten lava cake is delightfully sinful and of course one can never go wrong with the traditional tiramisu on the menu. For a true experience in fine Italian dining, skip the chain restaurants and enjoy a night at Ti Amo!

Ti Amo is great. My friend used to work there and called the round booths “cuddle booths” – perfect for date night!

Great Experience! Had an anniversary dinner at TiAmo’s, #17. Dropped off roses before the dinner and had them arrange on table.
Came in with wife later and she was amazed at the white table cloth sprinkled with rose pedals and a vase of beautifully romantic roses in the middle. They made a great presentation and followed it up with great service and terrific food! Thanks Ti Amo!

We went to the downtown location. I read mixed reviews, but thought we would try it anyway. We ordered the antipasto and was completely surprised they server hummus, pita bread, baba ganoush, and an imitation crab spread. I was very disappointed since this is suppose to be an Italian restaurant. My wife ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and I had the Veal Parmesan. Both lacked flavor. The cheese is basically grocery store cheese they buy in bulk. The wait staff and atmosphere is nice but unfortunately the food does not match.

A friend and I ate at Ti Amo’s Friday night and were suitably impressed. I started with the shrimp and lobster bisque and was VERY happy with it. I could have made a meal of that alone. I had the veal parmesan and while the veal was a bit tough, it was seasoned well and altogether enjoyable. The wait staff was prompt and courteous and always had coffee refills ready. All in all a pleasant dining experience and I would recommend Ti Amo’s to anyone.
