Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you to explore her inner world by the food she cooks. It is her food that inspires curiosity. This was the result after she stepped outside of the Long Island suburbs and entered the rich cultural scene in Los Angeles. Carnitas, Cavatelli and different dishes are all available within a menu. This is a constantly evolving taste. However, what is consistent in all of her dishes is a singular vision towards the future that longingly remembers the previous. Scopa Italian Roots, which Lofaso established in 2013 was well-received because it was inspired by her Italian tradition. Lofaso has received praise for her interpretation of traditional Italian cuisine. Lofaso has been described by many as a local favorite who consistently delivers food that's authentic, delicious and welcoming. Lofaso studied from chefs with sophisticated cooking techniques. However, she didn't hesitate to take extreme chances to honor her intuition. She quickly rose through the ranks of Wolfgang Puck's Spago, and then went into working closely with celebs in several Los Angeles kitchens. Lofaso launched Black Market Liquor Bar with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi in Studio City, California. The bar was eventually able to get a place within Black Market as well as her partnerships. This collaboration would foster the freedom of expression Lofaso longed for. Black Market doesn't have one distinct focus. It's their goal. The first course could be chip dill, followed by shishitos peppers. Next comes the Korean wing and finally a meatball course. Antonia provides the overwhelming range of flavors.
