Antonia Lofaso

Chef Antonia Lofaso's culinary creations are an invitation to explore deeper into the depths of her interior world. 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 of Los Angeles. Cavatelli and carnetas, she believes, can exist together on the exact same menu. Her sensibility is always developing. With every dish she serves she draws a picture which is distinctive and expresses a longing for the historical. Scopa Italian Roots, which Lofaso founded in 2013, received a great reception since it was in the spirit of her Italian heritage. Lofaso has received praise for her unique interpretation of Italian dishes. Food at Lofaso is authentic, inviting and undeniably delicious.

Lofaso had found home in the Black Market. This collaboration would foster the freedom of expression Lofaso longed for. Black Market's intention is not to be restricted by any means.
