The South Florida history began in 1974 when Raffaele and Maria Abbenante immigrated from the tiny Italian island known as Ponza. Together, they began selling pizza by the slice in Lake Worth, Florida. Using her Mom’s traditional Italian recipes, Maria introduced flavors of Italy to South Florida. Over the next 35 years, the Abbenante family served thousands of locals and visitors and quickly, Lynora’s became known as the Best Italian restaurant in South Florida. In 2025, Lynora’s opened their first location beyond Palm Beach, right here in Palm City in Martin County!
