La Fuga

La Fuga GOOD: Excellent sides, pasta and sauces. Steve provided wonderful, dedicated service BAD: Price for the entree quality, some entrees fell flat and although new, the restaurant could use a moderate, modern makeover We were surfing Yelp and decided to try La Fuga, an Italian-focused menu with some seafood. We all enjoyed the veggie sides including the brussel sprouts and brocolini. My diners pasta with clams and and meat sauce was very good. On the downside, my chicken dish was over cooked and dry despite the dunking of sauce. For 26$ it was barely a thigh, maybe a quarter at best. Our party reported the cheese wasn't fully melted on the pizza. Prices are generally very steep with veggie sides running between 7-9$ Finally, it sounds picky but the dining space is wide open so the very old dining floor really stands out giving it an older, dining hall feel. A strip with good sythetic wood flooring would work wonders and compliment the beautiful frontal view of the pool.

**Review of La Fuga** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a couple from Kansas on vacation, we had a great dining experience at La Fuga! The warm ambiance set the perfect mood for our meal. Our server, Jonathan, and his assistant, Daniel, provided attentive and friendly service that made our evening even more special. We started with the Arancini and refreshing Italian Mojitos, which were delightful. For the main course, I enjoyed the Linguini ai Frutti di Mare, while my husband enjoyed the Raviolini All'Aragosta Fra Diavolo. We finished with their house Lemoncello, a zesty and refreshing treat. La Fuga offered us authentic Italian flavors and superb service. We can't wait to return on our next trip!

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. Jonathan greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel instantly welcome. Gio was incredibly attentive throughout the meal, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. And a special shoutout to Daniel, whose friendly energy and professionalism really stood out — he truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. The food was delicious, the ambiance was perfect, and the staff made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back soon!

We stayed at the Kimpton Shorebreak Inn and had the luxury of dining at La Fuga for our meals (primarily breakfast). We had either Valentina or Kevin as servers and both were absolutely wonderful. We were greeted with smiles and waited on timely. Breakfast was always served hot and delicious each time. The atmosphere is calming and the aesthetics of the restaurant are so beautiful. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Service was great! Greeted immediately, sat shortly, served quickly. Details of the menu were explained very well and we were taken care of. Food was pretty great. Only, the ricotta cheesecake was very dry and bland.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and felt so welcomed and taken care of by Jonathan, Gio, and Daniel. The food was exquisite. Everything we tried was complex and delicious. Order the lobster ravioli and you will not regret it. We were personally escorted to the rooftop bar upstairs where we had dessert with a view. If you are looking for a place of fine dining and a friendly atmosphere go here!

La Fuga is an incredible Italian restaurant that truly delivers on all fronts. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a beautiful, stylish atmosphere that feels both relaxing and sophisticated—perfect for a special evening or a laid-back dinner with great food. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was not only attentive and warm but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced the entire dining experience. You can tell the staff is passionate and well-trained, which makes a big difference. Now, the food—absolutely amazing. Every dish was full of flavor, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and beautifully plated. Whether it was the handmade pasta, perfectly cooked seafood, or rich, flavorful sauces, each bite was memorable. La Fuga offers the full package: elegant ambiance, five-star service, and authentic Italian cuisine that leaves you wanting more. A must-visit spot in Fort Lauderdale for anyone who appreciates great food and a great dining experience.

From the moment we arrived greeted by the manager Leo it was a VIP experience. Steven the bartender made me a one time quit it lemon drop martini. Our waiter James from South Africa was phenomenal!! Then the rooftop DJ vibe.. OMG!! I’m not ready to end vacation. This is Ft. Lauderdale hidden jewelers.

This place is an amazing. You'll love the vibe with the pool view. Located in the Kimpton Fort Lauderdale & and about two block from the main strip it's perfectly located with great food. The service is amazing. They are extremely attentive and they will anticipate your needs. Thank you, Johnathan, Emily. Gio, Daniel, Richardo, Steven . You're welcome in advance.

A wonderful dining experience. Nestled in the Kimpton Shorebreak. A lovely space with a modern aesthetic with 1950s flair. Our amazing bartender/server, Steven, whipped up some tasty drinks while suggesting some of his personal favorite dishes from the kitchen. We kicked things off with the Italian mojito and the butterfly pea flower spritz. Both were light and refreshing drinks that leaned toward the sweet side. We started with the fresh baked bread and house made tapenade with oil and balsamic, which was so yummy and a good omen for the meal to come. . We ordered the Calamari and Mussels, the oxtail risotto, and the prosciutto and fig pizza. Everything was fantastic. The calamari and mussels were cooked to perfection. The oxtail risotto was incredible. The oxtail was so tender. The Barolo reduction was so rich. The risotto was perfectly al dente with just the tight amount of bite to it. This is not always the case, most of the time when I order this is comes out mushy. The pizza was a grand slam. Very nice crust with fresh pesto paired with the salty bites of prosciutto with pops of sweetness from the figs and the goat cheese with creamy unctuousness that brings the whole pie together. Overall an amazing experience top to bottom. The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Shout out to Steven the bartender for making it a wonderful evening.

Went to La Fuga for a pre-cruise, I'm on vacation meal. Mainly because they had grouper on the menu (online). Get there, seated promptly, service is excellent. No grouper on the menu? Waiter says it's been taken off (and two months later it's still on the online menu? Suggest you call ahead if that's what you want to see if it's on the menu. Ok fine. I ordered the grilled octopus with cannellini beans which was very nice; perfectly cooked. For my main since they didn't have grouper I ordered the dentice all a genovese (seared snapper). Was a little dry (overdone) and honestly, I thought it would have a little more flavor with capers and artichokes but not really. Disappointing. But: I also ordered the roasted Brussels sprouts, and they were PHENOMENAL! The truffle honey really accents the flavor of the Brussels sprouts. By far the highlight of the meal. Ambiance was nice, low-key dark and moody. Fairly quiet, too; even with a big party "outside" the main dining it was quiet. And service was, as I said, exceptional. I'd rather give 3.5 stars but that's not an option. I would go back.

I can't say enough amazing things about this restaurant! The ambiance, the food and the service were all fabulous! Steven, our bartender, anticipated our every need. All of their mixers are made in house, (by Steven himself.). We lucked up and came in during happy hour (on a Saturday!) and were able to order some delicious small bites at a great price! We had the slider and meat and margherita pizzas. While chatting with Steven, he learned about my past love of SATC and cosmopolitans. He gave me a taste of the best Cosmo I have ever had! I highly recommend it! The next time I'm in town, we'll definitely be back to La Fuga for their delicious food and wonderful service.

Such amazing service... and killer food and drinks. Would absolutely come back. Server Gio was outstanding and so attentive to ALL of my allergies.

La Fuga never disappoints. We went back last night for our third time for my wife's birthday dinner. Everything was amazing. Attentive service, relaxing atmosphere, and great food! Our waiter Javier Ricardo was great! We can't wait to come back again.

A 5 minute walk away from our Condo on Birch Road , and one Block from Ft. Lauderdale Beach , I was hoping it would be good in this cozy place in the Shorebreak Hotel. It isn't just good, it's Fantastic!!! Great service from Frank the Mgr , and our server Dani. One of the best Caesar Salads I've ever had, as well as a Pear Kale Salad that was tremendous. Superb Artisanal Eggplant and Ricotta Pizza , that was exceptional. Lemon Cello aperitif, on the house after Dinner !! Don't miss it ! When you find it, you'll be happy you did!

Ambiance was romantic and nice and service was pretty good. We found some small flies in the ravioli, and when we told them about this, they kindly offered to give us a new dish. The pastas, however, were underwhelming. The pasta seemed to be a bit overcooked, and the sauce was average.

We had a large party of 20 on short notice and they were very accommodating. Excellent service and the food was delicious. Everyone in our party enjoyed it immensely. The next time I'm in Fort Lauderdale La Fuga will be on my list to visit.

We are staying at this hotel. We went down for the Friday "social hour" and asked about where we could sit to enjoy our wine. Because it was Valentine's Day they were extremely busy. However, they did have one table that could seat a party of six that was available. Our group was 4 so they let us sit there, and we proceeded to order food for dinner. Everything was delicious, and we received roses for Valentine's Day. Service was very attentive and food was very tasty!

Special thx to Stephanie, Mr Leo, Danny, Steven and Will. My parents 62nd anniversary was amazing because of you!

A lovely warm Florida evening at a local hotel brought us here for dinner. The wait staff was attentive and we were seated quickly without a reservation. After we spent a few minutes with the menu we chose 2 pasta dishes. I had the frute' de mar and my girlfriend had the Bolognese. Both lacked a lot of flavor but were ok. My dish had less seafood than I expected. After red pepper flakes and some salt we were able to enjoy our dinners. On the plus side, the wage staff was very accommodating and brought me gluten-free bread. Later, the live music started, and it was quite nice. Overall, a nice experience, but nothing special. Yes I would go back and try it again.

Inside the Shorebreak Resort, La Fuga was called by many a hidden gem in the area. The dining area is spacious but dimly lit. I came around 6 pm on a Monday, and it was pretty empty. I ordered the Espresso Martini, and I was impressed they used Casamigos Reposado instead of the traditional vodka. I thoroughly enjoyed it before and with my meal. For my meal I ordered the Raviolini all'Aragosta Fra Diavolo. Hands down the best lobster raviolini I've ever had. The spice from the fra diavlo sauce paired well with the lobster (stuffed inside the raviolini and chunks in the center of the plate). I was also given bread that when dipped in the diavlo sauce was scrumptious. Since it didn't come with any sides, I ordered the roasted brussel sprouts. The pairing with hazelnuts and truffle honey blew my mind how delicious it was. I'm glad it was such a large portion so I had some to take home. To end the night I was given a complimentary Limoncello. As much of a lemon fan as I am, I probably won't try this again lol. I found it extremely bitter. If you're in the Fort Lauderdale Beach area, stopping here needs to be on your list of places to try!

I had been meaning to check out La Fuga for awhile now. Located inside the Kimpton Shorebreak hotel, this restaurant has a lovely decor and a view of the courtyard pool. And on this Saturday night, there was a jazz duo playing which only added to the nice ambiance. We sat at the nearly empty bar and ordered drinks and dinner. The drinks came up quickly and were well poured. I wish I could say the same about our food. It wasn't that busy so I was surprised by how long the food took to come up. Even the bartender keep going in the back to check what had happened as there was a huge lag time. We waited so long to eat that the jazz duo had stopped playing and packed up before our food came. By this time we were so hungry so we flagged down a busser to ask for some bread, which when it came was hot and delicious but we didn't want to fill up on that but of course we did. At about the same time the bread arrived so did my appetizer of Tartare de Tonno (tuna tartare) which was quite good! When the food finally arrived, it smelled great and tasted even better. I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese for my entree (bolognese is my go to in most Italian restaurants as it gives me a basis for comparison) and my friend had the Veal Milanese. The problem was it came so late we ate very little of it and took it home for another night (that darn bread!). This should have been a 5 star review as the food was good when it came out and was great as leftovers. This must have been an off night as I do not see any service/pacing issues in any of the other reviews. Too bad for us.

I can not for the life of me figure out why this restaurant was nearly empty upon our arrival. It is a bit off of the beach path, a block or two, but serves absolutely fantastic authentic Italian. I was delighted to find out the pasta was house made. The restaurant is located inside the Kimpton and has a stunning midcentury modern vibe with its centerpiece being a gorgeous bar. All is accented by the beautiful scenery of the pool outside. The service from start to finish was attentive and polite. I was not a fan of the espresso martini, I think the orange essence was too much for me. The food, however, was impressive. We started with the scallops, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned beautifully. The pastas we ordered were large portioned and exceptional in taste. Highly recommend to fix that Italian craving.

Very good vibes here. We sat outside by the pool for dinner in a relaxing setting. Perfect after flying all day! Our server was great and so was the food. The pizza with the goat cheese was excellent! The bread was delicious! The bolognese was delicious and the Caesar salad yummy! There were 3 of us and we all shared with some to take home. The prices are reasonable too!

Great ambiance, service and 5-star food The polo sauce was excellent, with lots of both green and black olives... a bit spicy. My wife said her kale salad was the best she ever had. Our waitress Maria-Anna was very nice and handled our extra requests completely

Food was delicious, service was excellent. I would definitely go back. The roof top was confusing as the restaurant was on the ground floor when you walk in, so it's not a rooftop restaurant, but restaurants that has a rooftop. Overall it's very nice though and had live music.

The food. The music. The service. Everything was top notch! Javier, our server, was busy and somehow managed to make us feel like we were VIP! The food is not your average Italian. It has a high end flare to it that makes it stand out. The veal Milanese with mushroom sauce was to die for! And their lobster Diablo was delicious. The music was an added bonus so we chose to sit inside and it really made our night! What a fabulous addition to central beach. Highly recommend! We will be back!!

Recently discovered this place online and reviews looked good so I had to give it a try. However, the food was some of the worst I've had in a while. Went with a group so got plenty of apps and dishes. Pizza was ok. Bolognese was one of the worst ones I've had. It was flavorless and the noodles were hard. Filet mignon with Gorgonzola wasn't bad but was a little underwhelming. Filet was really tender but a little undercooked. The broccolini came out cold. The lasagna was probably the best dish, but also the most expensive lasagna I've seen. Service was good, but came on an off night so it wasn't that busy. Manager was really nice and professional My guess is the only reason this place survives is because it's in a hotel and the tourists don't know better. But would not recommend. Don't like leaving bad reviews but the food was pretty bad.

We had a great time this Nye at La Fuga. Impressive execution led by chef Michael. Kudos to him and the staff. Food: We started with a canapé of bruschetta with roasted tomato, carpaccio and tuna. Delicious and a perfect bite. The mussels and calamari would've been good if it was in a broth. It was cold and chewy and the mussels lacked flavor. The squid ink pasta with octopus and olives was good, never had olives in my pasta so that was fun to try - I've had better octopus. The stars of the show were definitely the main entree (Wagyu filet topped with truffle foie gras) and the Panna cotta ! The live jazz was not so lively - it was great for dinner but we needed a bit more spunk to ring in the new year. All in all, great dinner, delicious drinks and stellar staff.

Went to LaFuga last night as me and the wife stayed at the Ritz Carlton for a night in Ft Laud. From the great reviews we decided to try this Italian restaurant out. Kind of disappointing.I selected outdoor seating, but when the host took us to the patio outside it was quite a surprise. It looked like we were seated at a motel patio/pool. It was odd and not what I expected. The waiter was just ok. I won't mention his name, but several times we had to ask for ice for our sparkling water, several times my wife had to ask for cheese and red pepper. Maybe I'm being a little picky, but he ended every conversation with "beautiful." So, if I ordered the Branzino he would say "beautiful." If my wife asked for ice or cheese he would say "beautiful." What's beautiful about asking for more water, or cheese? My Branzino was decent, but my wife ordered what was "homemade pasta" Tagliatelle, but she said it was made like egg noodles. It was expensive and my wife was not happy with it. That being said, the host who was a French guy, was a decent guy, and gave me a limoncello drink before we left. In addition, there was someone who was helping our waiter out who was fantastic. Honestly, we won't be back. Too many better places out there.

We go there for breakfast every weekend ... shout out to Rosie and Akash ( servers) and Jessica (manager). They are simply terrific! Love, love the breakfast menu.... You cannot go wrong... my husband's favorite are the Eggs Benedict, mine is the egg white frittata ( vegetarian)! Ambiance is amazing overlooking the pool. Inside/outside dining... just a gem in the Shorebreak Hotel, Fort Lauderdale... FYI... if you like Rose wine, it is half price all day Sundays! Great value. Enjoy!

Best Italian food in Fort Lauderdale! The mussels and calamari were magnificent. They have a special butter for dipping, and it was warm and tasty. Also, the truffle honey brussels sprouts were perfect. A must try if you come to La Fuga. Jonathan our server really made our experience even better and answered any questions we had.

Lá fuga is a Nice restaurante with outdoor pool patio seating, nice bar, live jazz band on Fridays and great service! Food was ok too

This is a hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance is amazing; very soft, grown and sexy. Jonathan, Kevin and Alan gave us the best service. They were attentive, kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Jonathan gave us great recommendations. Visit the rooftop! The view is amazing up there! 10/10 experience

We didn't have a reservation and on Valentines they were able to find a table for us on the patio that overlooks the pool! Great service, very attentive. The food was great, we shared tapas for the whole table. The patio is very pretty overlooking the pool. There were some loud birds but they finally quieted down.

What a beautiful, authentic restaurant. All staff members were so polite and friendly from the hostess to our waiter, James. The ambiance gave you this home-y feel with the warm tones and mood lighting. The food was so tasty and beyond amazing, most of the items are made in house. The complimentary limoncello hit the spot. We are so happy we found this hidden gem and looking forward to our next visit.

The service was Prompt and courteous, we ordered the margherite pizza and the eggplant pizza as well as the lobster ravioli. The eggplant pizza was excellent, the other items were delicious too! 4 stars because the pictures were deceiving , there's no ocean view and it was a bit pricey but overall good experience.

Party of 6, dinner Saturday at 7pm. No wait. Friendly and prompt service. Drinks were just right. I didn't have a bite that I did not like. The octopus was delicious! I really enjoyed the kale salad and added the grouper filet. Overall great food and experience

On the first floor of the Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel, you'll find La Fuga Restaurant. It's a large restaurant of modern design, a good décor, with a large comfortable bar outside, by the pool, patio seating, and a pool bar. We had a couple of cocktails at the bar. Beloved had his scotch on the rocks and I had a Woodford bourbon Manhattan. Both drinks were of generous pours and very good though I noted the cherry used in mine was of the less costly brine as opposed to the marinated type. Though they don't use tablecloths, the dining is still elegant. The menu is basically Italian with a wide range of choices. Beloved had their carpaccio which was super eye-appealing and tasty with its sidings of pickled shallot, caper, parmigiano, and leafy English rocket. I went for their Cottoletta alla Milanese, which was a veal Milanese, golden potato puree, and Marsala mushroom sauce. The mushroom was unbelievably totally delicious. For dessert, we shared a delicious tiramisu enhanced with espresso ladyfingers, Kahlua, and mascarpone cream. Then to our surprise, we were given both complimentary limoncello and orange cello drinks. On another occasion, I had their Sword Fish which came as a good cut perfectly enhanced with a vinaigrette sauce. It was totally delicious and Beloved had their Gnocchi Della Casa which was of a true pork sugo, butternut squash, fennel, and basil combination that was honestly one of the best, most tasty dishes that either of us has ever had. Then, of course, that meal too was followed by a complimentary limoncello Hence, La Fuga is a Yelp five stars to me.

I was very impressed with our whole experience. The decor is beautiful and atmosphere was relaxed but chic. The bartenders, William & Steve, were absolutely wonderful. They had such enthusiasm about the food which resonated to us. The food was incredible! William & Steve were super attentive and made the evening perfect. To top it all off, they were dog friendly and allowed our very old little pup to sit at the bar with us. I would highly recommend this hidden gem.

Amazing food! Our server Jonathan nailed all the recommendations, Javier was super helpful, and Marci is super knowledgeable and so happy to do her job! Thank you Jonathan for an amazing dinner experience A must try, definitely the tiramisu

We've dined here multiple times now for their breakfast/brunch. This restaurant is located inside the Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel. Their breakfast menu has a nice variety of options, is a good value, and even has a kid's menu. Their food is flavorful and fresh. The coffee and juice selection is also a nice option as well. The service is always consistent - no complaints here. The patio area is very nice and allows for you to have breakfast on a covered patio. We will be returning and I would like to try for dinner next time.

I'll start with the good - the food was good and we were seated immediately for dinner. Music playlist was 50s Rat Pack, which fit the vibe of the restaurant. Meatballs were delicious. Husband enjoyed his mojito. The Kale Tuscan salad was good - order w the dressing on the side, unless you like a salad drenched in dressing. Linguine Di Mare was packed with flavor. Husband thought the snapper was over cooked. Now the bad - when you tell your server that you do not want dessert or coffee and will take the check, but it takes 15 mins for said check to arrive in a relatively empty restaurant (5 other diners), that's a problem. She walked by several times, but only brought the check after I had to loudly ask again, since my hand gestures and 'excuse me,' weren't doing that trick. Also a sign of poor service, waitstaff standing around chatting amongst themselves as opposed to checking on their tables. This is what took our waitress so long to bring the check, she was talking to her coworkers. Nothing against conversation with your teammates, but do that after you have completed your tasks, so you're not leaving your table in limbo. Of course, what happened as we exited, hostess and waitstaff crowded around hostess stand chatting, and not a 'good night,' or 'thanks for dining,' from the group. Just not good - certainly doesn't make we want to revisit or tell others to give it a try.

In Fort Lauderdale for the Visit Lauderdale Food and Wine Festival and we discovered @lafugafortlauderdale near our hotel. Amazing food, service and wine list. We went with a beautiful Le One Barbera d'Asti from @michelechiarlo. What a gorgeous wine that so enhanced our tagliatelle bolognese and lobster ravioli!! The dishes were so wonderful and Mariana took such good care of us!! We loved every minute! The gorgeous limoncello and tiramisu were also incredible! Such an incredible dining experience!!

Service 5 stars - Wilson our server was awesome! Super attentive and accommodating. He made the whole experience better Food 3.5 stars - some hits and some misses. The complimentary warm bread with dipping sauce and Linguine Fruittu Di Mare was delicious. The bruschetta left much to be desired and same with the lobster ravioli - they were both average. Indoor and outdoor seating by the pool is available. They also had this large outdoor couch by the pool that is ideal if you are looking for their more casual fare.

We stayed at the Shorebreak which is the hotel associated with this restaurant. Naturally we wandered downstairs to explore food options and decided to try La Fuga. It was empty when we sat down which was surprising because this place is So cute! They took our orders promptly and the staff was really nice. I was also impressed with the prices because it wasn't that typical overpriced restaurant menu. The ambience is very chill and relaxing with some old school music playing in the background. You can sit outside by the pool or indoors. The food is amazing and has great food options for breakfast! Plus, COFFEE. Overall, this place is a must try. Since we are local we would probably even stop by just to visit the pool and restaurant.

La Fuga At Kimpton Shorebreak hotel in Ft. Lauderdale We have had two Family events celebrating my husband's 60th birthdays and mine in the late two years. The food is always amazing service is excellent. This year we were there just for a family reunion again the food was on point Jonathan was wonderful as our server and has been there for 4 years very knowledgeable about the food he serves and the wine selection. Javier was assisting him and was very detail in serving us as well. Jorge made a great Old Fashion at the bar, we had others make it during our stay but his was the best. The menu has something for everyone prices are not bad considering the quality of food and service, Cozy ambiance or outside seating if you prefer. They do offer a kids menu and the pizza is amazing. We highly recommend La Fuga all around great experience. we will be back

Wouldn't go with a large party, unless you're looking into the private dining. The have no solutions for outside weather, so if you're seated outside make sure the weather is perfect. Also, if you're outside you won't hear any of the Live Jazz, so if you aren't seated inside well you lose that feature of the restaurant. The food was great, no complaint on the kitchens end. Great dishes & bread.

We had a pre planned party and spoke with the director of marketing. we were outside and it was extremely hot/humid. Initially when booking we were told the sliding doors would be open. The director Nathan said he would open it and it stayed open for 4 mins before they closed it again due to everyone inside complaining of the heat. Our food took an hour and a half and we were missing 2 plates which took another hour to come out so some people were left to wait and eat alone. We asked for regular oil for our bread, never came out. The portions are tiny Overall for a planned party we were disappointed and sweaty

Do you like elegant, freshly prepared pastas? Then don't miss La Fuga, a wonderful restaurant in the Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach! We had a variety of items from the menu, starting with hot in-house bread with a fantastic tapenade, followed by angus beef carpaccio, then pizza, pasta and veal. Everything was excellent! Our wine, Greco di Tufo, was from the special Monday list of substantially discounted wines-what a bargain for a very unusual Italian wine! The staff were outgoing and helpful, from start to finish. A special mention of Jonathan for his constant help with our many questions about preparation and sourcing of ingredients. What a wonderful experience, the restaurant itself is sophisticated but comfortable, like visiting a cafe in Europe right here at the beach! We look forward to our next visit! Don't miss if you are in the area!

La Fuga is a beautiful quaint Italian restaurant tucked into a quiet corner of Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance and decor are classic and comfortable. The service was outstanding and Jonathan was terrific. The food did not disappoint either from the scallops appetizer to the Frutti di Mare to the sorbet dessert. Highly recommend for your next special occasion or dinner out in Fort Lauderdale!

We got there at 10:45AM and were promptly seated by the pool. They have a nice looking looking indoor/outdoor space with view on a pool. I must say that the menu was fairly unoriginal. They are basically offering the basics. Lots of omelets if you are into that. My partner and I decided to go for the avocado toast with eggs and bacon. Service was super fast. Food was fine, again very unoriginal. The cappuccino was what you could expect from a place like this, I personally had to add sugar so that I could drink it. This place isn't bad, but it's not great either. If you are staying at the hotel and want a quick breakfast, go for it. But don't get out of your way to get breakfast here.

Ate here my first night in Fort Lauderdale and did not leave disappointed. Ambience is nice for a hotel restaurant,cocktails were delicious a unique twist on the Negroni. The osso bucco risotto was rich and creamy would definitely recommend but the lobster ravioli was average could have used more seasoning. Don't skip the tiramisu it was yum ,we ate that so fast! Service was excellent,friendly attentive waitress . Would come here again if in town

Exceeded our expectations on every level. Had read the great reviews so we were very excited. Brought my amazing fiancé to Fort Lauderdale for his birthday & stayed a few miles away. Took Uber as the restaurant told me a 3rd party handles valet & it cost $25. If you are fortunate enough to have Wilson take care of you, consider yourself fortunate. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and passionate about the food. His recommendations were excellent. I do not like kale yet he convinced me to order the kale salad that had pear-Gorgonzola-candied walnuts & it was one of THE best salads ever. From the starter cocktails to the freshest pastas, we were so happy. Imagine my surprise when Wilson brought us 2 glasses of homemade orange cello & a homemade gelato because it was my fiancé's birthday. Did not expect this & it really was so generous. We had an exceptional meal & outstanding service from Wilson. What a treat!!

This a hidden treasure in Fort Lauderdale . We have come to Fort Lauderdale several times and have never seen this restaurant on any reviews, which is very disappointing because you don't know what you are missing. We did actually stumble across it because of it being in the hotel we were staying in, but that was only a happy surprise. First, the atmosphere is very romantic. You have a choice of sitting inside or outside by the poolside. We were greeted by an incredible server that offered water and their specialty drinks, which started their old fashion. We asked for suggestions on the appetizers and meal, and to be honest, I was not disappointed with any of the suggestions. She offered up their homemade bread with their specialty oil, a must. We started with the scallops over purred celery. Honestly, I could have just eaten the celery puree it was that good and disappointed it didn't come on any other dishes. I had the oxtail risotto, and my husband had the lamb chops cooked rare. We shared, and so good. Thankfully, we are a couple that can share our food that way because I have never actually had food that both of us liked so much. Usually, one person is disappointed, not this time. We also had to try the roasted brussel sprouts, which were something of an explosion in your mouth. DESSERT: All I can say they put a whole new twist on triramisu. When we come back to Fort Lauderdale, we will come back to this restaurant. Dwayne, one of the chefs, came out to speak with us, and the manager even spoke with my husband. One of the most incredible restaurants I have been to in a very long time. Nothing was a disappointment

Ba k again after a year. Excellent once more. Delicious dinner, beautiful dry white and excellent service. I hope to return before the end of my trip!

What a great find! We stayed at a hotel about 6 blocks away and could not find a restaurant that was good, including the one that the hotel recommended. So we "yelped it" and found LaFuga, it had god reviews so we tried it. I'm so glad we did! Although the inside looked really nice we decided to sit outside by the pool (the restaurant is in the Kimpton hotel), it was a nice atmosphere. They also have couches and a lounge area out there where we sat after we ate and had a drink, it was very relaxing. Jonathan, the server, was not only very nice but he was also very informative. He explained every meal which was great. He also asked before he brought any food out to make sure we were ready for it, which I thought was nice. We had the bruschetta first which was very good, but you don't even need it because the bread they put on the table comes with a won olive paste, it was very tasty. I had the Tuscan Kale salad and my husband had the Ridicchio e Rucula salad, both were very good. The first night (yes, we went there twice ) we shared the lasagna, I have to say it was the best lasagna I've ever had. The portion size was decent, I still had leftovers, even though it was both of us eating it. The second night I had Linguini ai Frutti di Mare, it was very good. My only complaint it was a little too salty. My husband had the filet mignon with a side of the charred broccolini and mashed potatoes, he said it was very good one of the best pieces of filet mignon ever had. We got dessert only one night, the tiramisu, and it was delicious. We probably would've gone there again however, we had to head home. If you're in the area, give it a shot you won't be disappointed
