\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort has always attracted an in-the-know crowd for delicious cocktails and breathtaking sunsets on its hip rooftop, Escape, and for excellent coastal Italian cuisine at La Fuga, the lobby-level restaurant. Both spaces welcome guests with great musical entertainment and nightly specials on cocktails and food. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new and ongoing this spring at the hip and happening hotel.<\/p>\n

NEW DISHES AT LA FUGA<\/p>\n

Award-winning Chef Michael Mayer is always coming up with new ways of sharing his immense knowledge and palate when it comes to Italian cuisine, and as La Fuga slides into summer, he has concocted some noteworthy menu additions designed to take advantage of seasonal bounty. A great take on a classic starter \u2013 Carpaccio di Cantalupo is a lighter dish composed of sliced cantaloupe, prosciutto and arugula with a Dijon-lemon vinaigrette. Primi or main course additions include Gnocchi della Casa \u2013 pillowy Italian dumplings served with pesto, oven-roasted tomatoes, creme fraiche and pine nuts; Linguine e Vongole \u2013 housemade pasta served with a luscious Verdicchio white wine and clam butter sauce; and Agnolotti con Spinaci e Ricotta \u2013 a delicate pasta pouch filled with housemade ricotta and spinach and topped with marinara sauce. All these specials are in addition to La Fuga\u2019s beloved mainstays, including pastas, pizze, carne and pesce.<\/p>\n
