Antonia Lofaso

The culinary offerings of chef Antonia invites you to discover the inner depths. Her food elicits a curiosity that developed from stepping out of the suburban areas of Long Island and into the multi-cultural landscape of Los Angeles. Carnetas and Cavatelli, she believes, can be found on the identical menu. Her taste is constantly evolving. Her dishes all are based on a singular idea, which is to embrace the current as well as reminiscing about the old. Scopa Italian Roots is a restaurant that was founded by Lofaso in the year 2013. The restaurant was opened by her as a result of her heritage as an Italian-American. The old-fashioned Italian rendition is widely regarded as one the Los Angeles' most captivating eateries. The restaurant is frequently loved by the Scopa's customers because the food is authentic and unmistakably satisfying. Lofaso studied from chefs who employed sophisticated methods. She didn't hesitate to take extreme risks in order to respect her own instincts. She quickly rose through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago before moving into working closely with famous chefs in a variety of Los Angeles kitchens. In 2011, Lofaso partnered along with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to launch Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. Lofaso has found her home at Black Market, and through the alliances she made. Lofaso could find the space to create the work she wanted through the collaboration. Black Market is not constrained by a single direction, and that's the goal. It could start with dill potatoes chips Shishito chilies, and proceed to a Korean chicken dish, meatballs and wings. Antonia's bold flavors are the base of these bold combinations. Lofaso evaluates her achievements throughout her career by her ability to understand her audience and be authentic to who she is. Apart from her memorable performance on Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars, her individuality was also recognized in other areas, beyond the kitchen.
