About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
Experience modern, coastal Italian cuisine at Fort Lauderdale's newest hot spot, La Fuga. Chef Michael Mayer infuses local South Florida flavors with classic Italian staples to create a fusion of crave-worthy, contemporary dishes.

La Fuga, (Italian for "the escape,") is nestled in the heart of the Kimpton Shorebreak, named in homage to the location’s historic beginnings. The newly renovated Kimpton Shorebreak occupies a unique space in Fort Lauderdale, originally opened as The Escape Hotel in 1949.

La Fuga pays tribute to it's origin story in name and also in atmosphere. Featuring midcentury design, and a laid-back vibe, the indoor-outdoor dining room includes views of the hotel's scenic courtyard and provides access to a rooftop pool overlooking Fort Lauderdale’s intercoastal.

***A SERVICE CHARGE OF 20% WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR FINAL BILL FOR PARTIES OF 5 OR MORE***

    Food was super average. Carpaccio was not sliced right and just bland. Lobster ravioli was the same. Boring flavors.

    Food was bland with no flavor or seasoning. The best part was the service, the bread and oil starter and the ambience. Convenient being connected to the hotel but I would recommend making an effort to go somewhere else for better food. Good spot for cocktails if you’re staying at the hotel.

    For an Italian, dining at an Italian restaurant means experiencing the authentic, traditional flavors—regardless of the region, as each has its own unique culinary identity. Unfortunately, this establishment does not offer a truly authentic Italian experience. While they serve Italian-inspired dishes, the flavors lack the depth and originality typically found in Italy. To elevate the culinary standard, it would be highly beneficial for the chef to spend time in Italy, learning firsthand about the techniques, ingredients, and aromas that define genuine Italian cuisine. The service is acceptable; however, the food does not meet the same standard.
