About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

    Indaco was a nice experience. We were referred by a friend who visited Charleston. The service was very good and the servers were very friendly. We had a wonderful appetizer with turnips and goat cheese. We asked for some bread, which complimented the appetizer perfectly. We shared a sausage pizza. The thin crust was perfect. Our only complaint was the garlic was heavy and overshadowed the sausage. The restaurant is quite noisy, so keep that in mind. Not a place to meet and catch up.

    Debbie, Thank you so much for taking time to leave us a review. I will be sure to share your feedback on the garlic with our culinary team. We do apologies for the noise as this is something we actively work to control. We do hope to see you again soon! Grazie Mille, The Indaco Team

    This was the best Italian food and pizza that I’ve had in a long time. Service was outstanding! It is a little loud in there, but otherwise everything else was fantastic.

    We enjoyed our brunch items, however our server was forgetful and very slow considering it was the end of brunch really. She forgot my ice tea and I had to remind her . She didn’t really check on us at all once we got our food. I ordered a side of french fries with my omelette and she failed to tell me that it already comes with crispy potatoes. SO that was wasteful. I didn’t even touch the fries. We’ve been there before for dinners and had no problems or complaints. I just felt like she wanted to go home at that point.

    Ingrid, Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. I am saddened to hear about your service experience. We strive to ensure all of our guests leave happy and feel well taken care of. I am so sorry we fell short. We do hope you give us another try. Our sincere apologies again. Sincerely, The Indaco Management

    Excellent food and service. A great menu. Even in a full restaurant with some large groups, we could hear each other easily. A real plus!
