Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's Lofaso invites you explore her inner world through her cuisine. Food that she cooks is a source of curiosity which grew from leaving the outskirts of Long Island and into the multicultural landscape that is Los Angeles. Her belief that cavatelli as well as carnitas may co-exist in harmony on the same menu communicates a sense of taste that is continuously growing. But what remains in all of her dishes is a singular vision towards the future and a longing to remember the historical past.
