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.

Absolutely fabulous meal, my chicken was the most tender and moist that I have ever eaten. Our 2 appetizers were delicious, the clams and the burrata. My husband’s pork chop was delicious as well. The bolognese was equally as delicious as was my daughter’s pasta dish . The shrimp and pasta was great too. Great service and the manager was also attentive, making sure we enjoyed our meal and had everything we needed. Will definitely go back

I had the bolognese entree which was really good. My husband had the rabbit pasta entree which was not good. Bland and cold-ish. Probably won’t be back

Been here a few times while visiting Charleston. Menu changes frequently but always has some great options! Love their pizza and pasta! Waiter was a bit much in explaining some things and a tad awkward, but overall we enjoyed Indaco!

First, Indaco was very accommodating with changing our reservation time. We also had a lovely waitress who's name started with a B. She was very attentive and such a sweet girl. The food was amazing. My mom and I shared the fig pizza which is cooked in a wood fire oven in house to perfection, and I had the swordfish. The restaurant is cozy and the prices are reasonable for Charleston.

So many great reviews about gluten free options - but was disappointed with the selection’s and lack of flexibility was disappointing.

Thank you so much for reaching out and providing this feedback. We as a restaurant, and as a company, try to accommodate all dietary restrictions and allergies; we take them very seriously. We are saddened to hear that during your experience we weren't able to find an option for you. We are able to make all of our pasta and our pizzas gluten-free as well as make modifications to most of our appetizers that would make them gluten-free. We hope that you come back soon so that we may try to find something you could enjoy so we can offer you the true Indaco experience we mean to provide! -Cody Sharp, General Manager

Great vibe, lots of bachelorette parties so a bit loud if your looking for quiet restaurant. Food was fantastic, great selection. I wish the menu was a little easier to follow, lots of words that aren’t common knowledge.

Great vibe Our group of 4 were excited to try out this restaurant Server was accommodating to change various ingredients due to allergies The wait to receive our food was quite long First we shared an bursts appetizer That was ok at best Waiting again a long time for our pizza and pasta Finally arrived pizza was doughy and chock full of pepper The pasta was so Al dente it was inedible and unbelievable Lu spicy We left hungry since we didn’t eat the pasta but left it on our plates Hope this was not what is normally received Would not recommend

Thank you so much for reaching out with this review. I'm very happy to hear that your server was very accommodating, though it sounds like when we changed the ingredients for you, we didn't choose wisely. We never intend for this to be the experience that our guests have when they come into the building. Though I completely understand not recommending us, we would love to have you come back so that we may offer you a 5-star worthy experience! I also welcome you to please reach out to me directly. Thank you very much. -Cody Sharp, General Manager

My husband and I brought our boys to Indaco to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a handmade, personalized “Little White Wedding Chapel 13” keepsake and a heartfelt message from the team thanking us for choosing Indaco as our celebratory spot. (They’d gotten my wedding details/information from a post I’d shared on social media prior to our reservation.) We were all touched by the sincerity, time and care that went into the gesture, and it was such a special start to a truly special meal! We enjoy eating for hours as a family, and just love the process of sharing over food. That said, everything we ordered was delicious. And over the course of two and a half hours we ate our way (quite literally) through the menu. It was decadent and divine! Our server Sophia was attentive, and manager, Cody, is nothing short of amazing! Indaco team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll see you again next year!

Great place..The noise Carrie’s due to the industrial feel, wood etc.. There is a lack of sound absorbing items. The food however was so worth the little bit of loudness. Wine list was extensive and beer selection was right up there. Can’t wait to go back.

Great food and service ruined by a "Hen Party " of 8 so loud that a family of 6 had to leave because you could not hear each other across a table. This was in a nice restaurant, not a bar . Shameful. The food was quite exceptional and the wines at half price on Sundays were a tasty bargain. Inventive pasta sauces and combinations. A definite go to . Get a selection of small bites first and enjoy sharing a plate of mains between 2.

Such a wonderful experience! We sat at the chefs table and got to watch the kitchen, which was fun. And though the restaurant is pretty loud we really liked the spot at the end of the counter bc it felt private. The food was fantastic! We were here during restaurant week and thought it such a great value. We had the peach burrata salad, the meatballs, the octopus with small corkscrew pasta and blue crab pasta. Highly recommend it all - everything was delicious!
