Antonia Lofaso

Chef Antonia Lofaso's culinary creations are an opportunity to explore the complexities of her inner world. The cuisine she prepares stirs up a fascination that was born from the moment she stepped out of the suburbs of Long Island and into the multi-cultural landscape of Los Angeles. Carnitas and Cavatellis in the same meal is what she believes in. Each of her dishes is inspired by her unique vision for the future, yet they also have a desire for the historical past. Scopa Italian Roots, which Lofaso launched in 2013, received a great reception because it was in the spirit of her Italian family heritage. Lofaso's interpretation of old-school Italian is considered to be one of the top restaurants for Italian cuisine within Los Angeles. Patrons describe Scopa as an essential neighbourhood staple, where Lofaso always offers food that is delicious and unquestionably satisfying. Lofaso was a student of legendary chefs and absorbed their sophisticated methods but she was not afraid in taking on extreme risks for her sense of self. She swiftly rose up the ranks of Wolfgang Puck's Spago and went on to transform various high-profile kitchens within Los Angeles while working closely with celebrities of all kinds. Lofaso as well as Sal Aurora partnered in 2011 to open Black Market Liquor Bar Studio City. Her home was within Black Market Liquor Bar and her business relationships. Lofaso was able to enjoy the freedom to express her creativity that she longed for through this partnership. Black Market is not constrained by a single direction, and this is exactly what we want. The menu could begin by eating dill potatoes, shishito chilies and then proceed to Korean Meatballs and wings. Antonia makes sure that the menu is a dazzling array of flavours. Lofaso is able to measure her success according to her innate comprehension of her audience but remains true to her personality. Her memorable performances on Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars showcased her individuality outside the kitchen, and her skills remain in the spotlight of the camera, as judge on CNBC's Restaurant Startup and in her recurring role on The Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child as well as ABC's Real O'neals. Lofaso teamed up along with Penguin in 2012 to release The Busy Mother's Cookbook 100 Recipes to make Delicious homemade Meals. This book also tells her story about how she dealt with the difficulties of attending the French Culinary Institute and raising Xea. Lofaso says that the passion that drives her success is rooted in the kitchen. It is from this perspective that she continues to have an eye on the pulse. Through the Chefletics brand, she is changing the aesthetics of her field by designing cookwear to look stylish and functional. What matters to Lofaso is remaining true to your concept. With this intention she is launching Antonia Lofaso Catering, which will convey a more tailored way of offering customers a distinct and personal experiences.
