Ti Amo says ‘I Love You’ in any language

NewYear's Eve is not only a night of celebration but more significantly, for many people, a marker of the passage of time. And for those discerning individuals who prefer to spend a memorable evening of fine dining, sublime spirits, elegant music and dancing, Ti Amo is the place.

Ati Hicyilmaz, owner of Ti Amo Restaurant in The Shoppes at the Creek in Cave Creek, invites everyone to join him and his well‑appointed staff to welcome the new year.

The warm, inviting interior of Ti Amo exudes elegance and romance–perfect ingredients for a fulfilling holiday evening.

Soft lighting, a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, and soothing jazz welcome visitors upon entrance to Ti Amo.

"New Year's is very inexpensive," Ati promises. "For $49.95, diners can enjoy a five‑course meal and a glass of champagne along with live entertainment and dancing. It's very romantic and cozy here. Perfect for New Year's."

The real excitement begins in the kitchen, where traditional Italian dishes are meticulously prepared using authentic ingredients with a twist. Many of the dishes feature a Mediterranean touch, a blend of herbs, spices and cuisines from all over the world.

Italian cuisine with Mediterranean influence is the specialty of the house, and there's not a burger or fry on the menu, so it's futile to ask.

It's the finest in fine dining, Ati says.

 

"We have three patios for outside dining," Ati explains. "And there's a wine room that seats eight for private parties. It's the quiet atmosphere and the ambience that makes our restaurant so special."

The covered patios are heated to take the chill off of the evening air and accent the cozy ambience. What could be more romantic than sitting around the patio fireplace with a glass of wine or an after‑dinner drink?

Ti Amo's wine choices are extensive, with nearly 100 selections gracing the wine list. The intimate but lively bar is stocked with all of the classic brands and the friendly bartenders are eager to serve your top‑shelf favorites. The bar features nightly drink specials throughout the week.

The restaurant prides itself on its intimacy, and its tables are set up to grant ample space and maintain a sense of privacy, despite a seating capacity of about 130. It's an outstanding place to take your family or friends for that special evening, be it holiday, anniversary or special occasion.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, diners can enjoy the music of Pat Giamari singing a variety of vintage songs by such artists as Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.

"The music matches the atmosphere," Ati says. "It sets the mood for the evening."

Not content to rest on their laurels, the management and staff at Ti Amo are proud to give back to the community by providing special charitable events with delicious selections from their kitchen.

The recent "Raising the Roof for Humanity" event for Habitat for Humanity was enhanced with Ti Amo appetizers and entrees; and the traditional free Christmas Festival sponsored by Tuscani Pointe in conjunction with Calvary Church featured selected Ti Amo fare.

"Just a small way to say thank you to the community for its support," Ati says.

Since opening last year, Ti Amo has become the fine dining spot for locals and visitors alike.

What better way to celebrate special occasions or simply a night of fine dining?
