Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's cuisine is a means to enter her mind. The curiosity in her grew after she left her home in the Long Island suburbs to explore the rich cultural diversity of Los Angeles. Cavatelli and carnetas are, according to her, able to exist together on the exact same menu. Her taste is constantly evolving. Each of her dishes is filled with her unique perspective for the future as well as reminiscing on the old. Scopa Italian Roots was opened in 2013 by Lofaso, who is inspired with her Italian American roots. The restaurant was greeted with the warmest welcome. Lofaso has received praise by her fans for her rendition of traditional Italian dishes. Lofaso is described by many as a local favourite that serves up food that's authentic, delicious and warm. Lofaso apprenticed under culinary legends and learned their sophisticated methods but she never hesitated to take extraordinary risks to be true to her own instincts. She quickly rose through the ranks of Wolfgang Puck's Spago and was able to make a difference in the kitchens of famous chefs in Los Angeles while working closely with a variety of famous celebrities. Lofaso worked with Sal Aurora to create Black Market Liquor Bar which was a new bar within Studio City. She was able to secure a place in Black Market as well as the alliances she created. Lofaso had the chance to enjoy the freedom of expression she had wanted. Black Market is not constrained to a specific direction which is exactly what the idea. The course could start with chips of dill potato and shishito peppers, followed by an ice cream roll Korean wings and a variety of meatballs. Antonia is the anchor for this bold array of tastes. Lofaso's popularity has been measured by her ability to be authentic to her own taste while knowing her viewers. She's been on of numerous television shows including Top Chef Chicago, Top Chef: All Stars as well as Cutthroat Kitchen Man vs. Child on The Food Network and ABC's Real O'neals. Her talents have continued to be showcased as a judge on the CNBC's Restaurant Startup. In 2012 Lofaso joined with Penguin to publish The Busy Mom's Cookbook 100 Recipes for Quick Delicious Home-cooked Meals, which also recounts the obstacles she faced while studying at the elite French Culinary Institute, and simultaneously caring for her child Xea. Lofaso says that the inspiration for her achievements is derived from her kitchen. That's how she stays on top of the latest happenings. She is revolutionizing her industry's aesthetic by redesigning chef wear to be functional and stylish with her own brand Chefletics. Lofaso is a firm believer that adhering to the way you see yourself is crucial. To accomplish her goal, she founded Antonia Lofaso Catering.
