Here’s what one reviewer says about Bar Ti Amo. “The menu is completely a la carte. The food is expensive for the amount of food you get and the flavor is underwhelming. For two people, we spend $70. We didn’t purchase any alcohol, no beverage, and no dessert. It’s Italian food but they do not offer any bread or anything while you wait. The starter bread is $5, the lamb chops were $30 alone, the broccoli was $9, and the lasagna was $19. It costs to valet park but there is plenty of parking at the establishment.”
