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.

    From beginning to end this was an outstanding experience. Our server, Anita was friendly and professional. The pace of the four courses allowed us to enjoy our family and conversation. Every single item came out hot and delicious. Kudos to the kitchen staff on food presentation as well. A check in at our table by the restaurant manager was a nice touch. Great job La Fuga. I want to say “we will be back next year” but we are visiting from the West Coast so fingers crossed. Thank you to all that worked so hard to make our Thanksgiving 2024 just perfect.

    Great food & service for an Italian-American Thanksgiving Dinner. The lighting was a bit too bright. I believe it would have had a warmer feel with a nicer ambiance had the lighting been lower and softer. The live vocalist performing did a very nice job and was pleasant to listen to during dinner without being so loud that you needed to talk over the music and singing. We will return for regular Italian soon and likely for Thanksgiving next year.

    We really enjoyed the ambiance, service, music and appetizers. However, we ordered 2 pizzas that were lacking in flavor and extremely chewy. So chewy my jaws ached afterwards from chewing. Probably the pastas and entrees are the better way to go.

    Excellent experience - from the moment we arrived, kind, friendly and welcoming - we sat outside, our server made recommendations which didn’t disappoint. We started with a caprese salad with prosciutto and arancini to share. I got the butternut squash ravioli and my husband had the lobster ravioli in spicy red sauce- ended with tiramisu that could’ve easily been for 4 to share. Prices were in line with what we were expecting. We had a wonderful meal.

    First time at la fuga and we really enjoyed it. Night we were there they had live music which consisted of a sax and bass player, nice touch and not too loud. Service staff was so pleasant and nobody rushed you. The outdoor seating area with the warming stations was well done and provided a fun place to sit. Food was really good, the dishes we hand you could tell were hand made just popped with flavor. Would recommend trying if in the area.

    Nice spot with terrace, nice people serving. Food is disappointing. Bruschetta are dry bread slices with cold whole cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar, no cheese or basil or any spices. I had the osso bucco risotto, there was nearly any meat, most of it was cartilage or grease and the risotto tasted nothing like risotto even if there was a sauce surrounding it. My partner had the swordfish, dry and comes with potatoes, nothing else. With 2 glasses of wine each, no dessert, over 200$ is way too much for what this meal was worth.
