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.

    Despite many good reviews our experience was not so. The wait for the drinks was long, the drinks were not served in the proper glassware and apple martini was watery The food was mediocre ( ravioli felt as it was from yesterday, lobster meat is chewy, tuna tartar was so spicy that killed the taste of tuna) and over peppery. All 6 of us had very bad aftertaste we could not get rid of for over 3 hours. It is also greatly overpriced- for two people ( 1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 main dish and 3 drinks ) we paid almost $300 - not worth it! Hard to belief people gave it 4.7 rating out of 5 - perhaps reviewers were paid by the establishment? And keep in mind that it is impossible to hear live music unless you are in the bar due to the noise in the restaurant We would never come back.

    My wife and I celebrated her birthday at La Fuga. We had not heard of it before, but found it online and were intrigued by the reviews. We had an amazing time, not only was the food fantastic, the service was phenomenal. We started our meal a bit late and they let us stay long after the restaurant had closed without ever rushing us. Thank you for such a great experience.

    Food was pretty good and service was friendly (and well-intentioned), but very slow, reflecting both a lack of attention paid as well as the pace of food and drinks coming out of the kitchen/bar. As a solo diner it was clear I was not a priority vs larger tables. I had to ask for things I shouldn’t have had to ask (more water, for example) and there was some oddness, like whisking away my remaining bread and butter from the table, without asking, before my entree was served. At one point, loud music from the kitchen clashed very badly with the music playing in the room. Other than that, ambiance was pleasant with the doors to the outside / pool open and a nice breeze. Scallops starter and butternut squash filled pasta were both quite tasty. But for me, the inattentive service makes a return visit unlikely.

    We loved dining here. We sat by the pool outside. Heaters provided. The service by our waiter James was excellent. The food was perfectly perpared. Lobster ravioli and Osso Buco. We appreciated that Frank, Mgr. and Nathan, Director, both stopped by our table to chat and get our opinion on sevice and food. 5 star all the way. Can't wait to come back.

    We were offered a glass of Prosecco while waiting for our table. The meal was excellent from the bread and fabulous dipping oil, the scallop appetizer, and the outstanding Bronzini with crispy skin. The Bronzini was one of the most enjoyable fish dishes I have ever had in a restaurant. We did not have dessert. Service was excellent as well. Highly recommend La Fuga and will definitely be returning.
