Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you to look into her soul through the cuisine she creates. The curiosity in her grew after she moved from her home in the Long Island suburbs to explore the vast cultural diversity in Los Angeles. Carnitas, Cavatelli and various other cuisines can be found within a menu. It is an ever changing sensibility. Her dishes all are based on a singular concept, that is embracing the moment while reminiscing fondly on the past. Scopa Italian Roots opened its doors in 2013 and was immediately well-received. Lofaso has received praise for her unique interpretation of Italian dishes. Customers say that they would recommend Scopa as an essential local institution where Lofaso regularly offers food that is genuine and incredibly satisfying. Lofaso had been an apprentice chef to master chefs learning their methods as well as taking risks. She was not afraid to take risks to pursue her instincts. She worked with a variety of stars and quickly rose up the ranks of Wolfgang Puck's Spago. Lofaso, Sal Aurora, and Mario Guddemi partnered to open Black Market Liquor Bar Studio City in the year 2011. Lofaso was able to find a place in Black Market as well as her partnerships. The partnership would allow for the freedom of expression Lofaso wanted. Black Market does not have a single direction, and this is its intention. It could start with dill potatoes chips, shishito chilies and then go on to a Korean food item called meatballs, and wings. Antonia is the anchor of this dizzying array. In her long career Lofaso has measured her achievements with her exceptional ability to comprehend her audience and remain authentic to her personality. The Top Chef Chicago episode and Top Chef: All Stars emphasized her ability to express her personality outside of the kitchen. In the years since, she has continued her career in front of cameras, including CNBC's Restaurant Startup Judge, as well as recurring appearances on the Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child. Lofaso teamed-up with Penguin Publishing to create The Busy Mother's Cookbook 100 recipes of quick, Delicious, Home Cooked Meals. The publication, she discusses her experience as a mother and a student of the French Culinary Institute. Lofaso insists that the source of source of all her achievements is her kitchen. It's through this vein she is always in the pulse. Chefletics has revolutionized chef attire through the combination of style and functionality. Lofaso's main concern is staying in line with her mission. With this in mind, she launched Antonia Lofaso Catering. This gives customers the most personal service.
