“Founded in 1976 by Raffaele and Maria Abbanente in Lake Worth, Lynora’s Restaurant has had a storied life, bringing traditional Italian recipes to South Florida,” said coverage by published by What Now Miami in September of last year. “In recent years, the brand has expanded to a total of six locations, and now, it has a seventh in the works in Melbourne, and an eighth working to open in Delray Beach, at 630 NE Fifth Avenue, next spring.”
Both those locations are still marked “Coming Soon” on the Lynora’s website, together with additional restaurants in Royal Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
What’s not mentioned on the website just yet is a story that broke just this week: according to reporting by the Jacksonville Daily Record, a recent announcement has revealed that Lynora’s will make its way up to the Northeast Florida market, where a new location is planned for the Village at Seven Pines.
“The Lynora’s menu features entrées like Beef Short Rib Genovese (Slow braised beef short ribs over vegetables and risotto cacio e pepe), Vitello Piccata (Lightly battered veal, white wine, lemon, capers over linguini), and Snapper Lynora (Two shrimp in a garlic rosemary lemon sauce over carrots and asparagus),” said What Now Miami’s September coverage. “There are also pizza varieties like Cacio e Pepe (Pecornio, shaved parmigiano, mozzarella, black pepper), Wild Shroom and Ham, White Pepperoni, and Prosciutto e Rucola; plus pasta dishes like Short Rib Ravioli, Gnocchi (Al forno – tomato sauce, basil, baked with mozzarella. Pesto – cream, basil pesto), and Penne Al Pollo.”
What Now reached out on Thursday to Lynora’s owner Angelo Abbenante to ask about plans for the Northeast Florida expansion. Abbenante was not immediately available for comment.
