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.

    The food, service and ambiance was wonderful. We never had to ask for anything. Our waiter anticipated every need. We could have a conversation without shouting and the location was right next to the market. Perfect!

    My husband and I just happen to stumble in to Amen. I had a cheeseburger that was in my top five burgers and I am picky about my burgers! My husband had a fish sandwich and oysters. He said both were top notch. Reasonable prices, charming ambiance and wonderful service.

    My favorite restaurant not just for romantic dinners, but also for special occasions and get together with friends. The staff is always wonderful and professional, and this past Sunday for my wife's birthday, Ella took very good care of us and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the Indaco team for always taking such great care of us!
