Antonia Lofaso

The food she serves evokes curiosity, which developed once she left into the Long Island suburbs and entered the diverse and rich culture and rich culture of Los Angeles. Carnitas and Cavatellis in the same meal is her belief. The only thing that remains at the heart of all her meals is an unifying vision of the future that longingly remembers the previous.

Lofaso's take on old-fashioned Italian is hailed as one of the top restaurants for Italian cuisine in Los Angeles. Lofaso's food is consistently authentic, inviting and satiating.

She rose quickly through the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago and then went on to change the look of several kitchens of Los Angeles while working closely with a variety of famous celebrities. The year 2011 was the year that Lofaso worked alongside Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to launch Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. Lofaso found her place at Black Market, and through the partnerships that she created. The creative spirit of Lofaso was boosted with this partnership. Black Market is not constrained by one definitive direction and this is what the idea behind it. The first course could be chipped potatoes and peppers shishto.
