La Fuga, a new coastal Italian restaurant led by locally-celebrated Chef Michael Mayer, celebrates its official grand opening in Fort Lauderdale Beach at the new Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. Upon entry, guests are immersed into Chef Mayer’s modern approach to coastal Italian cuisine, offering a comforting sense of home, which is reminiscent of a traditional Italian kitchen with a contemporary twist.
La Fuga translates to “the escape,” which is the original name of the property that opened in Fort Lauderdale in 1949. Taking up residence at the art deco boutique property, the destination restaurant serves a sumptuous menu of authentic Italian dishes including handmade pastas, locally-sourced seafood, wood-fired pizzas and salads accented with fresh herbs.
