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.

From start to finish our anniversary dinner date at Indaco was absolutely perfect! They accommodated us at a lovely table for 2 by the window. The server greeted us with a glass of champagne to celebrate our night. The food was so delicious, we loved every minute of it and will definitely be back!

Vincent's service was excellent as was the front desk welcome - seated at our favorite table 😊. The prosciutto app was yummy as usual. The current version of the agnolotti was very good. However, the Nero was simply over spiced (hot). Good wine list. Very lively ambiance - fun. Will be back but probably off the Nero - too hot several times - guess we need to adjust.

Had a wonderful meal here with my family during a recent visit to Charleston. It was soft shell crab season and my husband and I both had soft shell crab dishes. There is a wide variety of menu items. The atmosphere and service were both wonderful.

This was our first time dining at Indaco. The service, food and vibe was exceptional. Got noisy after 7pm, but it was Saturday night and you need to expect it to be noisy anywhere in Charleston on Saturday night! I would not call any of the options 'traditional' Italian, however, I am not complaining, as each dish was very unique and seemed to be created just to delight the taste buds. Indaco will definitely be one of our 'go-to' restaurants for a special meal out!

First time I came here we had unbelievably great food. Yesterday though (second time) the tagliatelle pasta was horribly cooked, good flavor but the pasta was undercooked and sticking together. Ambiance was great but man the pasta was disappointing.

A special thank you to the wonderful manager and the entire staff at Indaco. They made our evening extra special, we were celebrating three girls college acceptance to the University of South Carolina. The manager presented a beautiful card from the staff with best advice for college! The food as always was wonderful and you can see why on a random Monday night this restaurant was full. As always, we will be back! It’s such a great gem in the Charleston food scene.

We spent our last night in Charleston here, and it just so happened to be on Friday, St Patrick’s Day. We thoroughly enjoyed the drinks, food, and great service- some of the best over the last few days here. Only caveat is the noise level is very high, so much so that we were ready to leave before dessert. Still a great place and I would return— Just with noise level in mind.

The most incredible, fresh, and flavorful meal. A chic casual atmosphere that's dimly lit and feels like a neighborhood favorite. Great for date night! We were blown away by the entire experience — including the awesome customer service from Courtney (aka, Court). A+.

Outstanding service from Madison, who took the time to explain the menu and ensure that our meal was perfectly timed for us to get to a concert on time. The meatballs were delicious, the focaccia was delightful and light and the wood fired pizzas were amazing….. we finished with espresso martinis and it was the perfect dinner. We will definitely be back for more!

We went since we had three people give us raving reviews. This place is overrated. The water came out with a fly in it. The pasta with crab came out reeking like fish which shouldn’t happen. This is not at all recommended.

One of my favorite spots in Charleston and hands down the best Italian in the city. Have eaten here several times and is always excellent. Food is always well presented and very flavorful, service is spot on, and it has a good vibe. Menu always has tons of interesting options so will definitely be back soon!

Server rushed us the whole time we were there . We wanted to order an app and was instructed we had to order all our food at the same time. We received our food and apps at the same time after 10 min we had eaten half of our all and she was trying to take it away. For this kind of money would def like to at least enjoy our meal . Good was tasty.
