Antonia Lofaso

Antonia Lofaso's cuisine is an invitation to explore the possibilities within her. It is her food that inspires curiosity. This was the result after she stepped outside of the Long Island suburbs and entered the culturally diverse environment in Los Angeles. Cavatelli and carnetas, she believes, can exist together on the exact identical menu. Her sense of taste is continuously changing. What remains, however, throughout her menu is an unifying vision of the future while achingly recollecting the past. Motivated by her American-born Italian heritage, Lofaso opened Scopa Italian Roots in 2013 that was immediately a hit. Lofaso's interpretation of traditional Italian has been called one of Los Angeles' most compelling Italian restaurants. Food at Lofaso is genuine, warm and delicious.

She quickly rose through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago before moving into working closely with celebrities in various Los Angeles kitchens. Lofaso and Sal Aurora partnered in 2011 to create Black Market Liquor Bar Studio City. Lofaso found her place in Black Market, and through the alliances she made. Lofaso's creative freedom would be fostered with this partnership. Black Market has no one plan in sight and is the same way. The first course could be chip dill, followed by shishitos peppers.
