Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's cuisine is a means to enter her mind. Curiosity grew in her after she left her home in the Long Island suburbs to explore the diverse culture of Los Angeles. Carnitas, Cavatelli and other dishes can all coexist on one menu. This is a constantly evolving taste. The dishes she serves are based on a singular idea, which is to embrace the current as well as reminiscing about the past. Scopa Italian Roots is a restaurant that was founded by Lofaso in 2013. It was founded by the chef due to her heritage as an Italian-American. The restaurant's version of traditional Italian cuisine is one of Los Angeles's most popular restaurants. Lofaso consistently serves excellent dishes at Scopa, a neighborhood favorite. Customers describe it as authentic and satisfying. Lofaso had been an apprentice to culinary masters learning their methods and taking risks. She did not hesitate to take risks to pursue her intuition. She soon rose to the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago before moving on to work closely with celebs in several Los Angeles kitchens. Lofaso worked together with Sal Aurora to create Black Market Liquor Bar Black Market Liquor Bar, an upscale bar located situated in Studio City. She was able to secure the space in Black Market as well as the partnerships she established. Lofaso could finally enjoy the creative freedom she longed for. Black Market doesn't have one particular orientation. This is the intention. It could start with dill chips, then shishitos peppers. Then comes an Korean wings and then meatballs. What binds this diverse assortment of flavours is Antonia. Lofaso in her entire professional career, has evaluated her the success of her show by how she understands her audience. She also stays authentic to her personality. Her memorable performances on Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars highlighted her uniqueness outside of the kitchen. Her talents are still shining in front of cameras as an expert judge on CNBC's Restaurant Startup and in regular role on the Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child as well as ABC's Real O'neals. Lofaso released The Busy Mother's Cookbook 100 Easy and Delicious Recipes, in 2012, together with Penguin.
