About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Charming
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

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.

    We love Indaco and always have good food there. Last night we had the olives, polpette, truffle spaghetti, and Tagliatelle. I had the truffle spaghetti, which I was super excited to try, however it wasn't quite what I was expecting. There was plenty of truffle on the dish, but the taste didn't come through. If I couldn't see the truffle on top I wouldn't have even known there was any truffle in it. A bit unfortunate if you're paying for truffle and can't even taste it. Don't get me wrong, the dish was still good, just didn't have any truffle taste which doesn't make the price worth it for me. Service was a bit slower than usual, but otherwise we enjoyed the rest of our meal.

    We went for our 5th wedding anniversary and the food and assertive was amazing . We forgot to ask our waitress her name again but she was an older lady and the sweetest person! She made our dinner extra special with desert , happy anniversary card and champagne to celebrate our anniversary. We always come here for birthdays or date night but coming here for our wedding anniversary was the best decision of the night. I wish I could have thank her a million times ! But this place will always be my go to for special occasions

    This was the second time dining here and I have to say the service was terrible. Not once did our waiter ask if we wanted wine with our dinner, then the steak we ordered was extremely salty as was the pork in my pasta.
    IndacoResponded 1 day ago
    Good evening Christina, It is extremely disappointing to hear that your experience with us fell short. We apologize again for the preparation of the steak and did share your feedback with our culinary team after we spoke last night. We always want our guests to leave satisfied and taken care of and I am so sorry our efforts last night did not provide that outcome. I have reached out VIA phone and left you my direct contact information as I would love the opportunity to turn things around. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Maureen S General Manager

    One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. The service was great - personable, attentive yet not intrusive. The food was incredible - especially the peach pizza, the focaccia, the truffle spaghetti...all amazing.

    We’ve been to Indaco many, many times, although not in the last year. Our experience last night was terrible: 1. Had to request a server from hostess since none had come to our table after 10 minutes. 2. 30 minutes until appetizer arrival after order. 3. At one hour after arrival, no entrees. Server told us it would be “1-2” minutes. 4. 15 minutes later - still no entrees. Asked for food and bill to be cancelled. 5. 90 minutes after arrival, entrees were given to us and we were comped except for cocktail - we appreciated this. 6. Server said that kitchen was “understaffed”, but first time we were told this. Very, very disappointing experience which restaurant handled poorly. We won’t be back.

    Great food and staff. Limited menu and so loud it was impossible to have a conversation.

    Good evening Dave, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to hear food and service was a hit. Though we are very lucky to have a bustling restaurant we never want volume to impact an experience and we are so sorry that was the case during your visit. We do hope you come back to see us again soon. Sincerely, Maureen S General Manager

    The service was great The focaccia bread and the complementary meatballs were fantastic The broccoli fell short and I am my broccoli girl. It was all cold and icky. The Bolognese was good The chicken Parmesan was average, but above average I should say The biscotti was fantastic as well as the tiramisu It was a great evening thank you
