Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you to look into her soul through the cuisine she creates. The food she creates is a result of her curiosity about the culture of Los Angeles, which was inspired by a visit in Los Angeles from Long Island's suburbs. Cavatellis and carnitas coexisting on the same menu is what she believes in. All of her meals, she has a vision that is distinct and speaks to nostalgia for the past. Scopa Italian Roots was opened in 2013 by Lofaso who was influenced with her Italian American heritage. It received an enthusiastic reception. Lofaso's interpretation of old-school Italian is hailed for being among the most compelling places to enjoy Italian cooking within Los Angeles. Food at Lofaso is authentic, inviting and undeniably pleasing. Lofaso trained under famous chefs and learned their advanced techniques, but was never afraid to go against her intuitions. She worked with a variety of celebrities and rose rapidly through the ranks in Wolfgang Puck's Spago. Lofaso joined forces along with Sal Aurora to create Black Market Liquor Bar Black Market Liquor Bar, the first bar to open situated in Studio City. Lofaso was able to settle at Black Market. This collaboration would foster creativity and freedom Lofaso desired. Black Market does not have any one specific direction, that's the intention. The course will begin with dill-flavored potato chips, Shishito peppers, and continue with Korean Wings. What anchors this bold assortment of flavours is Antonia. In her long career Lofaso has measured her success through her ability to comprehend her audience while staying authentic to her personality. Her unforgettable performance of Top Chef Chicago and Top Chef: All Stars highlighted her individuality outside the kitchen. Her talents are still shining in front of the camera, as a Judge on the CNBC's Restaurant Startup and in regular roles on The Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child and ABC's Real O'neals. Lofaso teamed-up together with Penguin Publishing to publish The Busy Mom's Cookbook - 100 Recipes of easy, Delicious, Home Cooked Meals. The publication, she shares her experiences as a mother and a participant in the French Culinary Institute. Lofaso says that the inspiration to her achievement comes from the kitchen. This is the way she stays on top on the current happenings. Through her Chefletics brand, she's revolutionizing the aesthetics of the industry, by creating chefwear for both style and function. What is important to Lofaso is staying true to your vision with the intention of launching Antonia Lofaso Catering, which is a more personalised method of providing customers with a distinctly personal experience.
