ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL — Lynora’s Italian Restaurant is planning a new location at 580 N. State Road 7, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411, with an opening targeted for October or November 2026. Owner Angelo Abbenante told Business Debut the restaurant will mark the brand’s seventh location as it continues expanding across Florida.

The Royal Palm Beach restaurant will take over the former TGI Fridays space along State Road 7, allowing Lynora’s to establish a presence serving Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and the surrounding western Palm Beach County communities.

What to Expect

The restaurant will be a full-service Italian concept offering lunch and dinner seven days a week. The 5,300-square-foot space will include indoor dining, a full bar, outdoor patio seating, and a dedicated private event room with its own bar.

Abbenante said the layout will allow the restaurant to host private parties, celebrations, and special events, while still accommodating everyday dining. Once open, the location is expected to seat approximately 150 to 160 guests.

Lynora’s traces its roots back to 1976, when Abbenante’s parents opened the original restaurant in Palm Beach County. The Royal Palm Beach menu will reflect the brand’s long-standing Italian offerings, with a focus on made-from-scratch dishes.

Signature items include the restaurant’s homemade meatballs, eggplant parmesan, broccoli rabe and sausage, minestrone soup, and house-made pasta and bread. Abbenante told Business Debut that the menu is designed to appeal to families, date-night diners, and guests stopping in for both casual meals and celebrations.

The restaurant will also offer a daily happy hour from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., featuring two-for-one drinks and a selection of discounted food items.

Opening Timeline

The Royal Palm Beach restaurant is targeting an opening in October or November 2026. It will follow the opening of a new Lynora’s location in Melbourne, which is expected to open earlier this year.

A Delray Beach location is also planned for later this year, with Abbenante noting that Royal Palm Beach is expected to open roughly one month before the Delray Beach restaurant.

Hours

Lynora’s Italian Restaurant plans to be open seven days a week. Hours will be the same as their other locations: 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with extended hours until 11 p.m. on weekends.
