Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you to explore her inner world through her cuisine. Her food elicits a interest that was born from the moment she stepped beyond the outskirts of Long Island and into the multicultural environment of Los Angeles. Carnitas and Cavatellis in the same dish is her ideology. All of her meals, she has a vision that is distinct and speaks to a longing for the old. Scopa Italian Roots, which Lofaso established in 2013 was a huge success due to the fact that it was influenced by her Italian roots. Lofaso's take on old-school Italian has been hailed as the one of Los Angeles' most compelling Italian eateries. The restaurant serves delicious and consistent meals at Scopa which is a favorite of the neighborhood. Customers describe it as authentic and satisfying. Lofaso took her cues from the greats of culinary with sophisticated cooking techniques. She did not fear taking extraordinary risks in order to respect her instincts. She worked closely with many stars and quickly rose up the ranks in Wolfgang Puck's Spago. Lofaso as well as Sal Aurora partnered in 2011 to create Black Market Liquor Bar Studio City. Her home was within Black Market Liquor Bar and her business relationships. Lofaso could achieve the creativity she craved through her collaboration. Black Market doesn't have one specific orientation. This is the intention. It could start with chip dill, followed by shishitos peppers. Next comes a Korean wing and finally meatballs. Antonia is the anchor in this variety. Lofaso, throughout her professional career, has evaluated her the success of her show by how she understands her audience. In addition, she remains true to who she is. Her memorable performances of Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars showcased her uniqueness outside of the kitchen and her talents are still shining in front of the camera, as an expert panelist on CNBC's Restaurant Startup and in regular appearances on Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child and ABC's Real O'neals. In 2012 Lofaso collaborated with Penguin to release"The Busy Mother's Cookbook 100 recipes for quick Delicious home-cooked Meals, which also describes the obstacles she faced while studying at the elite French Culinary Institute, and simultaneously raising her daughter Xea. Lofaso believes that the main source of all her successes is the kitchen she uses. In this way, she keeps a steady finger in the pulse. She is revolutionizing her industry's aesthetic by redesigning chef wear to be functional and stylish, through her brand Chefletics. The main goal of Lofaso is to remain in line with her mission. To achieve this goal she created Antonia Lofaso Catering. This will provide clients with an extremely personal experience.
