L'INCONTRO – Italian
L'Incontro — Italian for "the meeting place" — has been Lake Wales' spot for classic, casual-elegant Italian food, a family-owned room bringing a New York-style Italian kitchen to central Florida. The atmosphere skews toward date nights and special occasions, with quiet tables and attentive service that regulars mention repeatedly. It's built its following as a reliable, unshowy option for a proper sit-down Italian dinner in a town without many of them. Open Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
