Antonia Lofaso

Antonia's food is a way to explore her life. Her food elicits a curiosity that developed from stepping beyond the outskirts of Long Island and into the multicultural landscape that is Los Angeles. She believes that cavatelli and carnitas could coexist seamlessly on the same menu conveys a sensibility which continues to evolve. However, what is consistent throughout her menu is an unifying vision of the future that longingly remembers the old.
