Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's food is a way to enter her mind. The food she creates is the result of her curiosity about the culture that is Los Angeles, which was inspired by a visit to Los Angeles from Long Island's suburbs. Cavatelli and Carnitas have the ability to coexist in harmony in the menus, a belief which has evolved in the course of the years. Every dish she serves is infused with a unique outlook for the future but also with a nostalgic look at the old. Motivated by her American-born Italian heritage, Lofaso launched Scopa Italian Roots in 2013 and was instantly well-received. Lofaso's take on old-school Italian has been hailed as among Los Angeles' most compelling Italian eateries.
