Antonia Lofaso

Chef Antonia Lofaso's food is an invitation to explore the depths of her interior world. Curiosity grew in her after she left her home in the Long Island suburbs to explore the vast cultural diversity in Los Angeles. The carnetas and the Cavatelli, she believes, can be found on the identical menu. Her taste is constantly developing. All of her dishes are inspired by a distinct outlook for the future as well as reminiscing on the old.
