The following is largely taken from Antonio's website:

Chef Antonia Lofaso’s cuisine was inspired by her Italian-American heritage, Lofaso opened Scopa – Italian Roots in 2013, which was immediately well received. 

Antonia’s interpretation of old-school Italian cooking is hailed as one of the most compelling restaurants for Italian cooking in Los Angeles. Patrons describe Scopa as an essential neighborhood staple where Antonia consistently serves food that is inviting, authentic, and undeniably satiating.

Antonia rose quickly through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, and went on to transform various high-profile kitchens of Los Angeles, while working closely with many high-profile celebrities.

In 2011, Antonia partnered with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to open Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. This collaboration would foster the creative freedom Antonia longed for.  A meal might begin with dill potato chips and shishito peppers, followed by a lobster roll, Korean wings, and a succession of meatballs. 

Throughout her career, Antonia has measured her success by her innate ability to understand her audience, while staying true to her own personality. Her memorable performance on Top Chef: Chicago ™ and Top Chef: All Stars ™ celebrated her individuality outside the kitchen.

In 2012, Antonia released The Busy Mom’s Cookbook: 100 Recipes for Quick, Delicious, Home-cooked Meals, which also tells the story of the challenges she overcame while studying at the elite French Culinary Institute, and simultaneously raising her daughter, Xea.

Antonia states that the drive behind all of her success comes from the heart of the kitchen, and it is through this vein that she continues to have a firm finger on the pulse. She is revolutionizing her industry’s aesthetic by redesigning chef wear for style and functionality, through her brand Chefletics.

What matters to Antonia is staying true to your vision with this intention she is launching Antonia Lofaso Catering, which will bring a more tailored approach to providing clients with a distinctly personal experience.
