• Italian • Southend
Booked 36 times today
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.

    We absolutely loved our experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was exceptional — every dish felt authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich sauces and thoughtfully curated wine list, everything was done with care and passion. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It struck the perfect balance between upscale and inviting — elegant yet cozy, like being welcomed into someone’s beautiful home. The staff was attentive and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience feel special without being overly formal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal and a warm, refined dining experience.
