The restaurant received an enthusiastic reception. Lofaso's old-school Italian rendition is widely regarded as to be one among Los Angeles' most captivating eateries. Lofaso's food is consistently authentic, inviting and undeniably pleasing. Lofaso was an apprentice of culinary experts taking their tips and taking chances. She did not hesitate to do so to follow her own intuition. She soon rose to the ranks at Wolfgang Puck's Spago before moving further to collaborate with famous chefs in a variety of Los Angeles kitchens. In 2011, Lofaso partnered with Sal Aurora and Mario Guddemi to open Black Market Liquor Bar in Studio City. She was able to secure an outlet in Black Market as well as the alliances she created. Lofaso was able to finally experience the creative freedom she desired. Black Market is not constrained by a single direction, and that's the goal. The course could begin with dill potatoes chips as well as shishito chillies, then move on to a Korean wings dish and meatballs. What anchors this bold assortment of flavours is Antonia.
