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.

    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.

    James was a great server, attentive, congenial, very helpful with questions we had and letting Mom taste a few sauces before she chose her meal. Good food, mellow atmosphere outside by the pool, all staff were good but James really stood out, ask for him.

    If you want a quieter cozy Italian restaurant with lovingly prepared food, La Fuga is your choice. From salad to appetizer to main entries, my husband and I loved all of them, everything was bursting with flavor, but not overwhelming, and great value too for the price. The setting was tranquil, looking out to a courtyard, with a gleaming pool surrounded by Burmese palm trees. We definitely will go back and recommend to our friends if they ever visit Fort Lauderdale.

    The food was very good. What set this place apart from other dining experiences was the exceptional customer service. It was apparent that every employee was happy to be at work tonight.
