Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you look into her soul through her cuisine. The food she serves evokes interest that was born from the moment she stepped beyond the outskirts of Long Island and into the multi-cultural landscape in Los Angeles. Cavatelli and Carnitas can be found to live in harmony on the menu, an assumption that has developed in the course of many years. Her dishes all are based on a singular idea, which is to embrace the current as well as reminiscing about the previous. Scopa Italian Roots was opened in 2013 by Lofaso, who is inspired with her Italian American tradition. It received an enthusiastic reception. The restaurant's take on traditional Italian is widely praised by critics as being one of the most compelling restaurants for Italian cuisine in Los Angeles. Lofaso is consistently loved by the Scopa's customers because the food is authentic and deliciously satisfying. Lofaso studied from chefs who used sophisticated techniques. She did not fear taking extraordinary chances to honor her instincts. Within a few years, Lofaso rose to the very top in Wolfgang Puck's Spago. Then she collaborated with many famous celebrities and transformed a variety of Los Angeles restaurants. In 2011 Lofaso worked with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to open Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. She was able to secure an outlet in Black Market as well as the partnerships she established. Her creative independence could be enhanced through this collaboration. Black Market's goal is not to limit itself by any means. A course might begin with dill potato chips and shishito peppers, followed by the lobster roll Korean wings and a succession of meatballs. Antonia Lofaso, the cook behind this menu filled with mouthwatering and strong flavors, is the anchor of the whole. The success of Lofaso has been judged by her ability to be honest with herself, while knowing her viewers. Her memorable performance in Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars showcased her individuality outside the kitchen. Her talents remain in the spotlight of the camera, as an expert Judge on the CNBC's Restaurant Startup as well as in recurring roles on The Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child and ABC's Real O'neals. Lofaso has teamed up with Penguin to release The Busy mom's Cookbook - 100 Recipes For Fast Delicious home-cooked Meals in 2012. The book also talks about the struggles she faced when raising Xea and pursuing her studies at the French Culinary Institute. Lofaso believes that the main driving force behind her achievements is her kitchen. Through this, she keeps a steady finger on the pulse. She has revolutionized the industry's style by redefining chef's attire for style and functionality, through her brand Chefletics. Lofaso cares about remaining true to your values and your vision. To accomplish this, she's launched Antonia Lofaso Catering. The new company will offer a tailored experience to clients.
