Nesci appeared as one of 16 straight men vying for Tequila's heart during MTV's Fall 2007 A Shot at Love reality dating series, which saw the bisexual model select 25-year-old film student Bobby Banhart as the winner.
While it is still unclear whether Tequila or Banhart were responsible for the split, the two broke-off their romantic relationship shortly after the finale aired. MTV has since renewed A Shot at Love for a second season starring Tequila.
Prior to That's Amore's premiere broadcast, MTV will air Domenico's Passport of Love on Sunday, February 24 at 10PM ET/PT. The half-hour special will include highlights from Nesci's favorite A Shot at Love moments; why he feels he's a "great catch" for ladies who appreciate his sense of humor; and a "love letter" to his home country.
A Shot at Love, MTV's first The Bachlelor-like serialized reality dating show, was the network's highest-rated series telecast for 2007.
That's Amore is executive produced by A Shot at Love producer SallyAnn Salsano for 495 Productions. David Gross and Drew Tappon are executives in charge for MTV. In addition, MTV has signed a multi-series production commitment with Salsano and her 495 Productions.
