Located at Atherton Mill in Charlotte's historic South End neighborhood, Indaco (Italian for "indigo") serves Italian cuisine. Wood-fired pizzas, hand-crafted pastas, housemade salami and cured sausages fill the restaurant's menu which can be enjoyed family-style or a la carte. With an open kitchen, and a comfortable atmosphere, Indaco can seat approximately 85 guests inside for a casual night of food and drinks. The wine list is focused on affordable Italian varietals, the Gin & Tonic cocktail is on tap, and the fresh sodas are made in-house. Large windows fill the restaurant with natural light that reflects off the white subway tile, wood accents and butcher block tables. An open kitchen invites guests to keep an eye on the action while enjoying the sights and smells of Italian cooking. During warmer months, a 44-seat patio invites guests to dine al fresco.

    Love the atmosphere and service. The food is delicious as well as the drinks. I love that the owners are present and interactive with their customers. My favorite things to order are the oxtail meatloaf, seared fish, mac & cheese and braised greens

    I had an incredible dining experience at Dean’s Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The star of the evening, besides the perfectly cooked steak, was our server, Jertha. She was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect. Her hospitality truly elevated the experience, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. As for the food, it was top-notch. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, and the desserts were the perfect way to end an amazing meal. If you’re looking for an outstanding steakhouse with phenomenal service, Dean’s is the place to go. Ask for Jertha—she will make your experience even better! I’ll definitely be returning.

    We arrived a little early to have a cocktail at the bar. Service was classy! We seated on time and enjoyed appertizers to share. We were not rushed. We did order main meals and a couple sides (beets and Brussels). The main meals were fantastic, however the sides never came. The waitress was lovely and kept our drinks full. Food and atmosphere was great. We’ll be back again.
