Ti Amo closes doors for good
by Jim Crawford

CAVE CREEK – Citing a continuing tenant/landlord dispute, the popular Ti Amo Restaurant has closed its doors.

Embroiled in a legal battle and reeling from a sale of the trendy restaurant that fell through, Ti Amo's owners removed equipment and furnishings from the premises Feb. 26th.

An attempt to sell the business recently was rejected by the owner of The Shoppes at the Creek, where the restaurant is located, and contributed to the decision to close, said Ray Soyular, co‑owner of Ti Amo.

Soyular said he and his partners are tired of fighting with the landlord and are calling it quits. He mentioned other factors in the decision to close but declined to elaborate.

Richard Mellen, property manager for Petree Shoppes at the Creek LLC, declined comment on the closing, citing pending litigation with Ti Amo’s owners.
