Ti Amo Ristorante Italiano — Restaurant in Tulsa

My partner and I visited Ti Amo on Sheridan on Saturday, March 3rd. I'd had a desire for Italian food but didn't want to go to one of the typical franchises, and had heard many good things about this restaurant. I was thoroughly impressed. It was as busy as expected for a Saturday night, but they still had free tables after a brief (15-20 min) wait. We were seated in a large booth overlooking the entirety of our side of the restaurant. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is intimate and very comfortable; the lighting is muted, the decor simple yet elegant, and overall felt much more private that some other restaurants despite the fact there are no walls to break up the dining area.

Our server, Tony, asked if we were first timers and did a wonderful job of explaining the menu. The complementary Bruschetta was a wonderful touch, and tasted divine. In order to ensure we had room for our entree, we simply took this as our appetizer. The cocktails are relatively average-price, but tasted delicious. The Godiva Martini & the Amore Italiano were our choices for the evening, and we were not disappointed.

For our main courses, we chose the Pasta Mista and the Veal Alla Parmigiana. The caesar salads we chose as our side were very tasty and worth the three dollar up-charge. It made me question if they made the dressing in-house. We also received a basket of bread, which was very wonderfully seasoned and lightly toasted. Once our food arrived, we dug in. Every flavor was perfection; we were both impressed by the quality of the ingredients we had been served, and the flavors were incredible. We had enough for our meal and leftovers, so it was well worth the price.

Regarding the wait staff, everyone was very attentive to us. If our glass of water dipped below 3/4 full, you can bet a staff member was coming over to refill it. The owner (or manager, not sure which) came by to check on us once, as well, which was wonderful to see.

Overall, I give Ti Amo one of my rare 5-star ratings. Every piece of the evening was perfect, and we both agreed that we will definitely be returning to the Sheridan location in the future. He may not read this, but we thank Tony for providing us with such a wonderful first-time...

Ti Amo is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I have been a regular for the nearly twenty-five years Mehdi Khezri has owned it, and have always been impressed by the hospitality, food, and experience that is consistently delivered. Mehdi is almost always on the floor, conversing with customers and getting to know new friends, making everyone feel welcome and happy to be there.

Ti Amo is the place I truly discovered that I loved wine, starting with simple Bolla Valpolicella. The wine list is medium-sized with good variety to match the expansive menu, at reasonable prices. The bar is a thing of beauty. Large, horseshoe-shaped, and nicely separated from the main dining room. The dining area has intimate booths all around tables in the middle, including some semi-private spots for special occasions. For larger parties, you have your pick of private dining rooms, accommodating from ten to over two-hundred.

Chef Aziz has been a fixture of Ti Amo, cooking up delicious dining for two decades. And you will always have plenty to eat. Soup or salad and focaccia bread are included with entrees, along with veggies and pasta with most.

Best Of:

Bruschetta - Classic garlic and herbed tomatoes on toasted bread. A complimentary first serving is always delivered upon seating. Try it, even if you do not typically like Bruschetta.

Gorgonzola Pizza - Simple and amazing, as an appetizer or light entree. Thin crust with black olives on the cheese.

Steaks - Three to four cuts with different preparations are always on the menu, accompanied by Al dente vegetables and pasta. A delicious Italian or Mediterranean version of beef. Ask for the same sauce as your steak on the pasta. Additionally, several preparations of seafood, veal, and chicken are regularly featured.

Ti Amo is a standard of consistency and excellence in Tulsa, and a hub for business, social, and family gatherings...

The parking lot for this great Italian eatery has three parking spots for carry-out and 1 parking spot for disabled drivers. The thing for carry-out drivers is: if a carry-out driver needs a parking spot, there's an entire parking lot of potential spaces for them. Why? The default parking spot is by default: a carry-out driver's parking space. The thing for disabled drivers: if a physically disabled driver who requires more space than what is available width-wise in normal parking spots, there is only that one spot for them and that person had to go to the DMV to get this right. Disabled drivers actually need larger parking spots because some have wheelchairs. Disabled drivers also need to be closer to the entrance. Carry-out drivers don't need the right disabled persons have fought to have to be close to the entrance. If a disabled person can't get their wheelchair out, they won't be going into the restaurant. So, for the benefit of the most people as possible, make as many disabled parking spots as possible because the rest of the parking is, by default, made for carry-out drivers. Also, there is almost always more than 2 disabled drivers in your parking lot. Parking spots for the disabled (and I don't expect you to know this) are already too few in number. We need more spots on top of having to fight the able-bodied people for the spots near the front door because most people really don't give a damn about the treatment of the disabled if it means they have to walk 20 ft. more just to go eat somewhere. I just hope this restaurant doesn't already sympathize with that faulty "logic". Disabled people need more help, not less. I might add photos on the next I'm in that part...
