Located on Charleston's Upper King Street, Indaco (Italian for "indigo") serves rustic 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 community tables, an open kitchen, and a comfortable atmosphere, Indaco can accommodate 100 guests for a casual night of food and drinks. The wine list is focused on affordable Italian varietals, the Negroni cocktail is on tap, and the fresh sodas are made in-house. The massive wooden doors on Upper King Street are your first indication that Indaco is different from the typical Charleston restaurant. Rustic details continue inside with butcherblock tables, lime-wash walls, and white brick. An open kitchen with nearby community tables lets interested diners keep an eye on the action inside the kitchen. Outside, a patio puts you streetside to watch Upper King Street's vibrant nightlife scene.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mark Bolchoz

From the OpenTable editors: Within the prolific Indigo Road Hospitality Group, Indaco is the rustic Italian institution. Restaurateur Steve Palmer, a James Beard semifinalist, opened the original in Charleston in 2013, and it’s grown to four locations across the South. The secret to success? Woodfired margherita pizza, fresh tagliatelle with an egg yolk nestled on top, and house negronis on tap, all served in a rugged space with butcher block tables and white washed brick.

    Fabulous dinner. It was extra busy during restaurant week. We ordered off the regular menu- and all got pasta. Tagliatelle, tortellini, and ragu. All very different and delicious and loved the house made pasta. Son said calamari was “elite level” with the chili mayo. Gin Mare cocktail was so yummy. Alex our server was so friendly and helpful. Even with the busy-ness and wait the host team was so friendly. A bit loud but made for a fun lively atmosphere. Would def recommend and come back

    Prices have increased and the quality of food is ok. I used to love Indaco but I think it’s become overpriced. It’s extremely loud and sometimes we cannot even have a good conversation while dining.
    IndacoResponded 1 day ago
    Alyss, Thank you for your feedback. We do are very best to ensure that our prices stay approachable in hopes all of our guests feel their money and time is well spent and we apologize that is not how you felt during your last visit. Volume is something we also work hard to control and understand that it can be a little loud at times. Our leadership team takes all of our guests feedback seriously and we will continue to improve and adjust to the information provided the best we can. We do hope you join us again. Very Best, Indaco Management

    Used restaurant week as a motivator to dine here for the first time. The experience was excellent, with prompt seating with our reservation, great service ( specifically with our server, Sophia), menu, which exceeded our expectations, and food, quality, and quantity, which was delicious. Specifically, the pizza with sausage had great flavor, entrée of 1/2 chicken was very tasty, and pasta dish with tuna, being very imaginative. Completing the experience were the desserts, with tiramisu being the best, I think I’ve ever tasted. Will definitely return in the near future .

    Excellent service! The food and drinks were amazing. Our waiter was attentive but gave us out time and space. We were there celebrating our anniversary and at the end of our dinner our waiter provided us with free dessert! What a treat!

    Although it was very busy (and noisy) the night we had dinner at Indaco, the food and the service were both outstanding. The menu was very creative and each item we had was special. There were three of us and we all were very pleased with our choices. The wait staff were very attentive. In addition to our primary waiter, several other staff members made sure our water glasses were full, dishes from one course were cleared before the next course arrived, and new plates and utensils were provided with each course. We had an outstanding dining experience!

    This was our second time coming in for date night. We didn’t realize it was restaurant week and we had the best time! We picked the restaurant pick and experienced new food out of our control zone and it was great ! The waitress was amazing ( I forgot her name ) but she walk us through the menu and cleared up any questions we had ! We are definitely making this our date night spot !

    This was a great dining experience all around. We sat on the heated patio and it was lovely, quieter out there than in the main dining room. I have a gluten allergy and they were easily able to accommodate my dietary restrictions and the gluten free pasta was the best I’ve ever had. My non-gluten free child enjoyed their regular pasta as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely eat here again the next time we are in town.
