Antonia Lofaso

Antonia Lofaso's food is an invitation to explore the depths of her cooking. Food she cooks up is a result of her curiosity about the culture that is Los Angeles, which was sparked by a trip to Los Angeles from Long Island's suburbs. Cavatellis and carnitas coexisting within the same menu is her belief. With every dish she serves she draws a picture which is distinctive and expresses a longing for the old. Scopa Italian Roots, which Lofaso established in 2013 was well-received due to the fact that it was influenced by her Italian tradition. Lofaso's interpretation of classic Italian dishes is among the top restaurants in Los Angeles. Lofaso's food is consistently authentic, inviting and undeniably pleasing. Lofaso learned from culinary giants who used sophisticated techniques. However, she didn't hesitate to take extreme risks in order to respect her intuition. She rose quickly through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago and was able to make a difference in the kitchens of famous chefs located in Los Angeles while working closely with a variety of famous celebrities. Lofaso, Sal Aurora, and Mario Guddemi partnered to open Black Market Liquor Bar Studio City in 2011. In Black Market and the business partnerships she formed Lofaso found an appropriate new home. The collaboration could provide creativity and freedom Lofaso desired. Black Market is not constrained by one definitive direction which is exactly what the idea.
