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.

Service was great and fast. There is a play area and little movie room the kids can be in while you wait but the wait wasn’t long for our food. The food is decent. Our favorite was the big pretzel with the beer cheese dip. It’s loud in there but it’s legoland and it’s expected.
