Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you to discover her worldview through her cuisine. It is her food that inspires curiosity. This was the result as she stepped out of the Long Island suburbs and entered the culturally rich landscape of Los Angeles. Carnitas, Cavatelli and various other foods can coexist in a single menu. It is an ever changing sensibility. Each of her dishes is formed by a distinct perspective for the future yet they also have a longing for the old. Scopa Italian Roots was opened in 2013 by Lofaso, who is inspired by her Italian American roots. It received a warm welcome. Lofaso's version of traditional Italian is considered to be one of the most intriguing restaurants for Italian food in Los Angeles. Lofaso's food is consistently authentic warm, welcoming and satisfying. Lofaso learned from the best chefs in the world and learned from their cutting-edge techniques but she never hesitated of taking risks that were too high for her sense of self. She quickly rose through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago and then went on to revamp several high-profile kitchens located in Los Angeles while working closely with a variety of famous celebrities. The year 2011 was the year that Lofaso was partnered with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to debut Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. With Black Market and the business partnership she created, Lofaso finally found her place to call home. The creative spirit of Lofaso would be fostered through this collaboration. Black Market does not have an unifying direction, which is the reason why it was created. An appetizer could be served with dill potato chips and some shishito peppers. Then, you can have lobster roll Korean wings and a series of meatballs. Antonia anchors the bold range of flavor. Lofaso assesses her success on the basis of her deep awareness of the audience she is addressing, and remains in line with her personal style. Her memorable performances in Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars was a celebration of her individuality outside the kitchen. Her talents continue to shine in front of cameras as an expert jury member on CNBC's Restaurant Startup and recurring roles on the Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child as well as ABC's Real O'neals. In 2012, Lofaso worked with Penguin to publish"The Busy Mother's Cookbook 100 Quick Recipes for Delicious Cooking at home Meals, which also tells how she overcame while studying at the top French Culinary Institute, and while raising her daughter Xea. Lofaso believes that every one of her successes stem from the passion she has for the kitchen. It is in the same vein that Lofaso continues to keep a alert to the latest trends. With the Chefletics brand, she is revolutionizing the style of her field by designing clothing for chefs that are trendy and useful. Lofaso is committed to being true to yourself and the vision you have for your business. To achieve this, she has launched Antonia Lofaso Catering. The company's new name will give customized experience for customers.
