Chef Justin Melnick got his culinary career off to an early start - while he was still in high school. His passion for cooking all started during a summer stint running the kitchen for a family-owned restaurant, Tutto del Cose Buono, where he was left with the reigns while the chefs traveled abroad.
After getting his bachelors degree in Professional Studies from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, he went on to work and train at respected Boston restaurants including The Butcher Shop, a Barbara Lynch restaurant, and Olives, a Todd English restaurant. At Olives, he worked alongside Executive Chef Robert Gonzalves and received guidance from Corporate Executive Chef Joe Brenner as well as Chef-Owner Todd English. He joined the team at Tomasso Trattoria & Enoteca in February 2006 as Sous Chef under the tutelage of then Executive Chef Tony Bettencourt. In December 2007 he became the Executive Chef.
Melnick has traveled throughout Italy. Highlights from his trips include preparing meals and dining at the home of some Italian friends, and dining with the family of Sergio Mottura, the renowned Italian winemaker whose estate is nestled on the border of northern Lazio and Umbria.
Many of the items on the menu at Tomasso Trattoria & Enoteca are inspired by Melnick's travels in Italy. He strives towards authentic Tuscan cuisine, using fresh, local, organic products whenever possible and supports smaller production farms which raise animals sustainably, in a natural, hormone and antibiotic-free environment. He feels hard work and passion, with everything made from scratch, is the way to make great food and he inspires cooks in the kitchen to share the same philosophy.
