L’incontro is an Italian word that means, “The Meeting Place.”

Located in Lake Wales, the heart of central Florida, is L’incontro Restaurant, “A Place Where People Gather to Enjoy Classic Italian Food.”

Our family’s interest in Italian cuisine began in the 1960s when my uncle immigrated to the United States. He worked hard to bring other family members to the States to live the American dream. Now, our family includes about 160 people, mostly living in New York and Florida. Four of my uncles are now Italian cuisine chefs or own their own restaurants. Through the years they have cooked for many famous people. Oprah Winfrey, the President of France, and other well-known celebrities have enjoyed their old world-style dishes that showcase the variety and distinct characteristics of Italy’s regional cuisines.

    I’ve dined here for over ten years, there is always something that just disappoints me. The food is always excellent, that’s why I go back, but just the way they treat you . It’s always different, but never warm and inviting.

    This place offers very good food in plentiful portions at more than reasonable prices. I got the veal parm, the meat was very tender, there was a good amount of cheese and the marinara was good. My wife got the veal piccata and she was very happy. We will definitely be back.

    L'incontro is one of very few really nice restaurants in our area. The restaurant is upscale, very clean and quiet. The service is wonderful, and the food is top tier! We always look forward to a date night at this restaurant.

    I love the food at this restaurant. We were there yesterday and my dinner was good the only issue we had was my husband's spaghetti was hard. I know the difference between aldente and hard and it was definitely hard. We let the waitress know and they immediately corrected it. The food here is amazing and me being Italian I love it.
