Todd English Restaurant to Open in Ft. Lauderdale's Il Lugano Hotel

Where: 3333 NE 32nd Avenue [map], Ft Lauderdale, FL, United States, 33308

Thanks to tipster TonyT, we just got word of celeb chef Todd English's plans to open da Campo Osteria at the boutique Il Lugano Hotel & Residences in Ft. Lauderdale. According to Dine Magazine:

This new restaurant will feature Northern Italian cuisine combined with a spectacular panoramic view. The menu will pay tribute to English’s Tuscan roots, and feature pastas, grilled entrees and flatbreads.

And the official word from the the restaurant's MySpace page (how trendy!) is that the Ft. Lauderdale spot is going to open up in November.

We're certain the food is going to be excellent, but we're not going to lie: we're a little bit worried about the ambiance -- specifically the music playlist. See, the restaurant's MySpace friends include LL Cool J, Creed, Christina Milian and Danity Kane. Um. Yeah. That sorta makes us worry, you know? A gentle suggestion to Todders: if you're considering booking one of those four to play your opening, we urge you to reconsider.
