About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Stellar. Absolutely blown away by the food. We had Veal Milanese and Filet Mignon a la Gorgonzola. Tuscan Kale salad with pear was fantastic as were the drinks.Brushetta was with whole cherry tomatoes, very good. Our waitress Dani was superb. The place is beautiful but not pretentiously fancy. We really really loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.

    I wasn’t happy with the service nor the food. They were out of pizza, so the point of the booking wasn’t available. Their pasta was gummy and the sauce heavy. Not at all a place to go with so many other choices. The leopard lamps were cute!

    We absolutely loved our appetizers, Arancini and veal meatballs really excellent. The lasagna entrée was excellent and can definitely feed 2 to 3 people. The oxtail risotto was very good although plated too early it got a little tight but was still good. The lobster ravioli was not our favorite, Something about the sauce is not right. The bartender was so knowledgeable. We had excellent wines and a delicious peach martini. The restaurant is all windows near a pool so if you're looking for that dining ambience I would definitely go when it starts to get dark. overall a really great dinner.

    The venue is very nice.. music was lovely. We were seated right away however it took quite awhile for a server to come to our table. When she finally arrived to take our order she was very nice and apologetic. The food was delicious and we were given after dinner shot on the house . Would we go back.. probably not but it was still a very nice restaurant.

    We went to eat on Mother's Day at 2 pm. According to them, it was a brunch. The food was a buffet where there wasn't a single protein, only two kinds of pasta, some bacon and potatoes, and worst of all, they charged us more than $300 for 4 people. If you're going to a brunch, don't even think about it.
