Synopsis
After his "Shot at Love With Tila Tequila" ended, Italian-born bachelor Domenico Nesci was heartbroken. But Domenico wasn't ready to throw in the towel when it came to finding true love.
He picked himself up, dusted off his "100% Italian Ass" speedos and decided it was time to find his perfect match. Now, this man from Milan is looking for his very own American sweetheart and Domenico is setting his own ground rules as he searches for love on That's Amore!.
Italy has always provided America with top-notch food, fashion and fast cars. Domenico sees himself as the latest and greatest import to take over the States.
Realizing he's on fertile ground, Domenico's searching for a super-sweet girl who can cook — a must for any Italian man — and who's sick and tired of muscle-bound meatheads.
This loveably goofy guy is looking for true romance and hopes to whisper sweet nothings into the right girl's ear. But will he really be able to find amore on American soil?
From Southern belles to big city socialites to West Coast surfers, 15 girls will get their shot at love with Domenico, embarking on a romantic adventure of a lifetime that could take them all the way to Italy. Yup, Domenico is searching for a nice American girl he can bring home to Milan to meet his mamma.
But sifting through the bevy of love-crazed beauties isn't going to be easy, so Domenico will be looking for advice from another A Shot at Love alum ... Ashley.
The resident redneck, who flew into a rage when Tila Tequila sent him packing, will literally sort through all the boobs and butts at Domenico's disposal and hopefully find the perfect companion for his best bud on That's Amore!.
Each week, the girls hoping to hookup with Italian stallion Domenico will face-off and fight for their man. There's gonna be pillow fights, cat fights and a big, big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs that's just the right size for a down and dirty wrestling match.
Ciao bella!
