Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's food provides a way to get inside her world. It is her food that inspires curiosity. This was the result when she left her Long Island suburbs and entered the rich cultural environment of Los Angeles. Cavatelli and Carnitas have the ability to coexist in harmony in the menus, an assumption that has developed in the course of time. What remains is her singular vision of the future while still wishing to reminisce about the previous. Motivated by her American-born Italian heritage, Lofaso launched Scopa Italian Roots in 2013 which was immediately well received. Lofaso is lauded for her unique interpretation of Italian food. Lofaso is consistently highly acclaimed by patrons of Scopa's for its food, which is authentic and unmistakably satisfying. Lofaso worked as an apprentice chef to master chefs, absorbing their techniques and taking risks. She did not hesitate to do so to follow her own intuition. She swiftly rose up the ranks of Wolfgang Puck's Spago, and then went into working closely with celebrities in various Los Angeles kitchens. Lofaso established Black Market Liquor Bar with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi in Studio City, California. Lofaso was able to find an outlet within Black Market as well as the alliances she created. Lofaso was able to achieve the creative spirit she desired by working with her. Black Market doesn't have one distinct orientation. This is the intention. A meal could start with chipped potatoes and peppers with Dill. Then it's Korean meatballs and wings. The underlying ingredient in this dazzling array of flavors is Antonia. Lofaso has, over the course of her career, has judged her success by how well she understands her audiences. Also, she stays true to who she is.
