Through the years Melissa developed her skills and knowledge of restaurants from her mentor and father.&nbsp;&nbsp;In 1997, Melissa opened the trattoria<em>, La Bruschetta<\/em>, in La Jolla, California, and embarked on a second location,&nbsp;<em>Zibibbo&nbsp;<\/em>Italian Bistro, in Encinitas, California in 2000. On May 5, 2010 Melissa opened&nbsp;<em>Tommy V\u2019s Urban Kitchen<\/em>&nbsp;in Carlsbad, California, the subject of Food Network primetime series,&nbsp;<em>Family Style<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2018 Melissa and her husband Kevin relocated to Scottsdale to be closer to family and assist in the family operations. In 2021 Melissa opened, The Italian Daughter in homage to her late father.
