Great food, great service! This place really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel special, well done! I will 100% be back next time I am in Charleston. read more

This has been on my list for a while and I'll surely come back! I started with the focaccia which was warm, airy and paired perfectly with the pimento forward olive tapenade and whipped ricotta. Enough for 3 people to have a sizable piece. If you're looking for an indulgent, knock your socks off pasta, GET THE TRUFFLE SPAGHETTI! It is completely worth the price and enough for 2 people to split to feel better about the spend. The lumache Nero had a solid kick to it and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. For dessert, we chose the olive oil cake and tiramisu. I'd definitely order the cake again especially to taste that lemon curd again! The interior is dimly lit, great for a date night or special occasion. There's an open kitchen so you can watch the food being cooked along with a large bar. Service was fantastic and welcoming from start to finish. read more

Hands down, excellent dining experience from the moment we walked in the door. Had early reservations for Saturday Brunch and the hostess allowed us to pick our table - so we grabbed a high top in the window. Hostess was super friendly and then our waiter came by. Wish I could remember his name but he was excellent. Like can we be actual friends in real life!? Placed a drink order (my new bestie said the strawberry drink I was eyeballing was excellent- and boy was he right). We settled on sharing a breakfast pie and sandwich. That pizza could have been destroyed in one sitting. SO good. Sandwich was also delicious and the side salad and potato's made it perfect. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Would absolutely recommend and visit again. Thank you friends! read more

Upscale Italian restaurant with a twist. If your table is up to it, I'd recommend the chef special which means you get no say in the 3 course meal - chef picks. It's a great way to try several different dishes. The restaurant does seem to rotate dishes to some degree; everything we tried was good. The ricotta cavatelli was my absolute favorite dish (our server also said it was his favorite) and the gelato for dessert. I'm not sure if there's a dress code, but it does appear to be expected - this makes sense to match the vibe of the restaurant. Definitely a good date night spot. I'd recommend reservations. Parking is tough to find, especially on a busy night so factor that into your time. read more

This is what all restaurants should drive to be - beautiful ambiance, lovely employees, mouth-watering food, and yummy drinks. We had a reservation for a friend's birthday. I had never been there before but my friend mentioned it's one of her favorite restaurants. Now it's one of mine. Apparently the menu changes so I wasn't sure what to get. We decided to do family style dinner where the kitchen decides what to serve you. A foodie's dream! We mentioned a couple of things we did not prefer (not a lot tbh) and let the experts wow us. Wow us they did! We received so much food and quite the variety for such a reasonable price. As the starter we had meatballs - fantastic quality meat and wonderful flavors, a hot honey pepperoni pizza - perfectly thin crust, and some kind of bread with an apple butter and cream that I cannot recall (we left no crumbs so so divine). For the entrees we were presented a carbonara pasta - so creamy and flavorful, steak frites with potatoes - perfectly cooked steak and crispy potatoes, a ravioli, and some kind of endive salad (not my most favorite). For dessert we were given their cannoli donuts (out of this world)! Their cocktails were equally flavorful, unique, and thoughtfully crafted. There was not a drink we did not like - we all had different ones. Someone mentioned their espresso martinis were spectacular so we had to try and I thought it was fine. Nothing really stood out to me. Overall, I'm going to make another reservation now that I'm in my foodie feels. read more

No pictures of the food because I was there for a catered event, but I will share a picture of the menu. The wine list is nice and the pasta is wonderful. As a New Yorker I can't say the Pizza is the thing that would make me come back, but there was a sweet potato pasta dish and I'm not a big sweet potato person, but it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy and honestly, I will be thinking about it for weeks to come. read more

Indaco - Italian Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Indaco is one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. In my opinion, the best way to experience it is by ordering the chef special. For $60 per person, you get a selection of appetizers, two pastas, and two pizzas, which lets you try a variety of dishes you might not normally order. I have gone a few times and picked items on my own, but the chef special really feels like the way to go. read more

I visited Indaco for a group dinner this past Saturday when were in Charleston. For a friend's 40th birthday, she arranged for a large group dinner for around 20 people. For this many people, they offered a set menu served family-style and allowed my friend to customize the menu from several options. I'm so glad she found Indaco, because they did an excellent job. The restaurant is beautiful. We were seated in the area just off the main dining area. It has greenhouse vibes, with an indoor/outdoor feeling while still being entirely inside and insulated (no worries about January). The staff were wonderful. 20-ish people is a large group, but the service was great throughout. For our family-style menu, we shared: Little Gem Lettuce (Caesar, Parmesan, garlic crumb, and cured egg yolk); Burrata (Asian pear, endive, radicchio, shallot, brown butter, hazelnut, and flatbread); Amatriciana pizza (San Marzano tomato, mozzarella, guanciale, red onion, Aleppo pepper, oregano, and pecorino); Creste di gallo (beef bolognese, Parmesan, and basil); agnolotti (roasted sweet potato, ricotta, pecan ragu, pecorino, and aged balsamic); and their pecan-crusted market fish (farro, roasted squash, cipollini, black garlic, and pepitas). Everything was very good. Overall, I thought every dish was successful, and we each had different favorites (which means everything is pretty good, right?). They also offer a full and interesting menu of drinks. I shared a bottle of wine with a few people (a Valpolicella from Veneto), which was a great wine at a great price ($55), but lots of people in our group enjoyed cocktails as well. Large groups are hard, but the staff at Indaco didn't blink. The food was good. The drinks were good. The service was good. The ambiance was good. They did a great job, and they made my friend's birthday special. I'd certainly return. read more

Still a favorite spot nearly a decade after we first discovered Indaco! This time the hits started with the burrata; peaches, greens, and flatbread rounded out the deliciousness. My husband loved the bucatini nero (he's a fan of squid ink pasta!) with shrimp and a bit of Calabrian chili for a kick. I thoroughly loved the beef bolognese radiatori which was a noticeably "lighter" bolognese that felt right for the end of summer. We took tiramisu and lemon ricotta cheesecake for dessert back at the hotel! Fawn was a great server and we can't wait to be back in town. read more

What a meal. From the moment we walked in and our hostess, Isabella, took care of us to defiling ourselves on I five different menu items. The burrata, the chorizo pizza of the day, tagliatelle, risotto, and strawberry crostata. Every item was better than the last. The bartender, Tyler, was most impressive. His knowledge of drinks and his own creations were absolutely amazing. Well done sir. read more

I visited Indaco during Charleston Restaurant Week and was blown away!! I ordered SO much food and left with so many leftovers and had zero regrets. The meatballs are absolutely huge! They are tender and could be a meal all on their own! The spicy soppressata pizza was giant and I took half of it home (reheats great). Next time I'll order the honey on the side but other than perfection! The radiatori bolognese was to die for. The house made pasta noodles were a type I had never had before and they went with the sauce so well! And again I had tons of leftovers and it reheated so well. Not the normal pool of grease you normally get when reheating noodles! The tiramisu was also amazing. So moral of the story Indaco is amazing and I highly recommend. Their happy hour at the bar is also a really good deal so definitely worth checking out! The bartender was really great and super attentive and helped us with our choices. The restaurant itself is nice and has different seating options for different size parties. They also take reservations would I recommend. read more

Update -- we did not intend on coming two nights in a row. We went to happy hour at south church and they were closed for a private event. We both voted to walk the 1.5 miles back to indaco and ditch somewhere new. Even better tonight. We made it in time for happy hour at the bar with Mattie. Great wine and beer and she had us try the sweet potato side. It wasn't good... it was amazing. We also had the potatoes and Brussels-- also amazing. So flavorful. And of course the bolognese for my husband. We left full and happy! I can't imagine we will find a better bartender and food anywhere in town. read more

We had such a nice dinner here! Our food was all so delicious and fresh. Our server was very personable and even bought me free dessert for my birthday. I would recommend the focaccia for sure. And my boyfriend loved the spicy soppressota pizza. Inside was nice and I noticed some people were casually dressed while others had nicer attire on. read more

Indaco has easily become one of my favorite places to visit and spaces to sit and sip for a while. Everything is always so rich with flavor. The meatballs are insanely good moist flavorful the focaccia bread with a mountain of Parmesan cheese on top is a must. They always have great pizza specials this time I ordered the supreme pizza and can we say Yum! Very bored with a kick cause I love a little spice and it was perfect on this night out. The service is always phenomenal. read more

I've never had a bad experience at Indaco and realized I am long overdue for writing them a review. I visited this past weekend with one of my friends where we split the focaccia and mushroom pizza. It's bread, sauces, and cheese so it's hard to mess up. The mushroom pizza is delicious. In the past I've ordered the tagliatelle that is one of my favorites on the menu. The ambience is low lit and casual dressy (no flips flops and tshirts but you also don't need a suit.) overall the prices on the menu are fair for King Street. A little pricey for pizza (if that's what you order but they have loads else on the menu!) My only complaint this visit was when I initially walked in and asked for bar seating they said "yes it's first come first serve but we seat people." Those are two very different things. Long story short they held 9 chairs at the bar for about 30 minutes for no shows and eventually sat us so just a heads up- you can't just walk in to the bar anymore. This is a new policy. read more

Got drinks and dinner with friends while visiting Charleston. Our experience here was good but it wasn't anything to write home about. I had the Tagliatelle which I had them make dairy free, so maybe that's why I didn't love it. But it was very citrusy. I tried my sisters who got the same thing just not dairy free and it was pretty good. The service was a little slow. My favorite thing I had was the lime nd coconut cocktail would definitely recommend it! read more

This was a dining experience that I'll be thinking about for a long time. From start to finish - from the food to the service to the vibes - Indaco is the perfect place to celebrate a big occasion. Unlike other restaurants that pretend to care whether it's your birthday or anniversary, the entire team at Indaco went above and beyond to make my mother-in-law feel extra special on a milestone birthday. I made a reservation a few days in advance for four on a Tuesday evening. The hostess greeted us warmly, and it really felt like she was happy we were there. After guiding us to our table, she presented my mother-in-law with a birthday card that several of the staff members had actually signed. This small, thoughtful detail set the tone for a truly memorable meal. Our server, Brittany, was extremely helpful and utterly hilarious. My father-in-law can be quite the jokester, and she kept up with him at every step. The food was phenomenal - we sampled our way through multiple menu highlights and it's hard to pick a favorite. The Roasted Half Chicken was a standout, along with the Ricotta Cavatelli. If you think you're not a fan of octopus, you should still try Indaco's. It's perfectly cooked (not chewy at all) and paired with uniquely delicious braised field peas. Save room for dessert if you can ... the Zeppole and Gelato Trio are the perfect sweet treats to end an already incredible meal. I was also so excited to read that Indaco is expanding to Nashville next year ... I can't wait to frequent their new location when it's officially open! read more

I came here with some girlfriends visiting me in Charleston, and I was honestly impressed! Even though I have passed by this restaurant a handful of times, Indaco wasn't really on my radar. We ordered the Tagliatelle, Peach Pizza, Mushroom Pizza, and the Mafaldine for food. Everything came out perfectly. The pizzas were excellent and a shareable size. However, I wish the pasta entrees were larger to make it easier to share. Our server helped explain to us the differences between pasta dishes and what customers' favorites are. We had a dirty martini and the 'La Paloma' to drink. The restaurant was smaller than expected, but I enjoyed the intimate setting. I would come here again or try their pasta class! read more

We live right around the corner and have enjoyed Indaco's 5-7 happy hour for the past few years. Yes, you have to go early to sit at the bar and enjoy the happy hour menu. Solid/standard options; two people can eat/drink for around $100 (rare on King). Specifically, the pies are all fresh and have great crusts (just a little char), the meatballs are well-sauced and tender, and the salad dressings are ALL great. Bartenders are "on it" without being pushy and the overall darkness/dim lighting perfectly suits the menu and vibe. read more

A moody Italian restaurant with so many great options! We had a group for a bachelorette and were seated at one of their bigger table. We arrived on time and had a reservation but were asked to wait outside as they got the table ready. Once sat, the waiter came promptly and took our orders. They have a good selection of wine and cocktails. Their espresso martini was YUMMY! We were suggested the squid ink pasta but I don't think it was the best pasta there. I truly enjoyed the papardelle option. All the dishes can be shared with others, allowing you to try all options they have with your friends! read more

This review is 5 stars...mostly because I had the best meatballs of my life here!! cannot recommend them enough! we also had a burrata salad and I personally didn't love the greens as they were tough and bitter. Wine selection here was great and affordable! The ambiance was cozy and warm read more

I recently wrapped up dinner at Indaco with their tiramisu, and it was a delightful way to end the meal. This classic Italian dessert arrived with rich layers of mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers, dusted with just the right amount of cocoa a sweet and sophisticated finish. read more

From start to finish it was a great meal. It's got a great atmosphere. Starting from the large wood door you use upon entering. Our drinks were fantastic. We had Strawberry Fields Forever, Dirty Martini, and a glass of Chianti.We had the Spicy Soppressata, and Margherita pizzas as appetizers. One was better than the next. We had the Red Drum fish, Radiatori pasta, roasted half chicken, and the Flat Iron steak. Each meal was prepared and plated perfectly. We had the shishito peppers and broccolini as side dishes. Generous portions. We were all stuffed when we left. We will definitely be adding this restaurant to our rotation. It's a must try! read more

Arrived 15 min late but did call ahead to let them know; host was rude to us and chose to argued with us about how late we were/that we surpassed the grace period to be seated. Won't try to go back based on that interaction. Shame on you, Dwayne, you are bringing down the Indaco name. read more

Hard to find good Italian down South, this spot is right in downtown Charleston. Very nice atmosphere. Bartenders and waiters are extremely knowledgeable about the food and wines on the menu. We started with Prosciutto Di Parma appetizer which was delicious. I had the Radiatori which was very good and my wife had a flat iron steak which she enjoyed. Their wine list is extremely impressive with what seemed like everything Italy has to offer on it. We liked it so much we went back the next night! It is a little pricey. I will definitely go back next time I'm in Charleston. read more

Really overhyped and not worth waiting for.... Would recommend Legami Italian food right down the street which is way easier to get into and has just as good food. Much better service too. Had a poor time with the host Dwayne who was incredibly rude and someone in our party was pregnant AND had a reservation. Vibe is overcrowded and loud. Pick a better Italian spot you have many options. read more

Reservations were so hard to get, that should say a lot! The hostess was amazing and started off the visit with a beautiful ambiance. Everything is made in house which makes the pastas even more delicious and the wood fired pizzas were the star of the show. Only thing that made the visit a little uncomfortable was how loud it was inside. There was nothing in place to help with the echos, making servers have to scream for you to hear them. read more

Came in for lunch and was quickly seated at the bar without a reservation. Bartender was friendly and accommodating. Ordered a margherita pizza. Overall, food was just okay. Texture was great, but dough seemed to lack salt and sauce was lacking in flavor given the cost. Not a bad choice overall for a quick lunch. read more

Great spot!! I came here for a solo dinner and sat at the bar on a Friday night. It's a busy spot and for good reason! Great food, great service, and nice atmosphere. I ordered the peach pizza because that's quite unique and I'm a fan of weird pizzas. 10/10. The sweetness of the peaches and honey cut the saltiness of the crust. The 2 men behind the bar were attentive and kind! Requesting marinara for your crust is always the move in case you needed to know. Will definitely come back. read more

Indaco was delicious. We ordered a pasta dish and pizza and both were very good. We were celebrating an anniversary and they left a nice card on the table. Service was efficient. They kept our wine chilled and refilled our glass throughout the meal. Would absolutely recommend! read more

I was invited here for a wine event and they were showcasing some great wines but more importantly, some of their food. They had a plethora of apps that they kept bringing out from arancini, to caprese salad, tiramisu and the best things were the meatballs. I went back for those meatballs a dozen times! I've heard great things about this place but now I'm looking forward to dining in to try their pizzas and entrees since their apps were so delicious! Their staff were so kind to keep cleaning up after us and replenishing all the food! This seems like a great place to host corporate events and a nice date night! read more

Fabulous restaurant with cozy setting, excellent service, and the most fantastic pasta I've had in years. My husband and I were visiting Charleston and had already had some very good dishes at some very good restaurants. But by far the best experience we had was at Indaco. The atmosphere was cozy, inviting, and relaxing. Our server Alex was perfect, attentive, and friendly and the other supporting staff were all professional and efficient. For dinner my husband had a wonderful wood fire cooked Margherita pizza that I also tried and it was absolutely delicious. But I will have to come back to Charleston if only for the pasta dish I had. I had the Agnolotti pasta that I paired with a lovely Pinot Bianco. The pasta which the ingredients were listed as roasted sweet potato, ricotta, pecan ragu, pecorino, and aged balsamic had the perfect blend of taste and textures. Not since a trip to Boston many years ago had I had a pasta so unique and so delectable. Our evening dining at Indaco was the perfect dining experience. read more

Amazing roasted chicken, great spaghetti and meatballs and according to my brother the best supreme pizza he has had in his life! The ambience is very moody. We ordered the calamari and wasn't our favorite we sent it back and they so kindly brought a fresh one back out. It wasn't our favorite but the fact that they tried was a nice touch. Service is good, we came oddly on a busy Monday evening. Our server had a table with 14 people so he didn't have the ability to be super personable but over pretty good. I would come back. read more

We had the most amazing service and dinner experience at Indaco Friday night!!! We went there after we got engaged to celebrate and they took amazing care of us and made us feel so special on the best day of our lives, and they were part of why we will always remember that day! Thank you to the bar and the manager for taking care of us. The food was spectacular especially since I have celiac disease too. We will always come back there to celebrate! read more

Indaco is always pretty good. Like all places there are things they could work on. We went in for our anniversary and while there were a number of open locations within they seated us right by the door. Two other couples came in for their anniversary and they seated them both right next to us. Now there were three couples that were just looking for a cozy dinner with their spouse all crammed into the tiny space right next to the hostess station and front door. Every time someone came in or a waitress walked by they would have to squeeze past us and inevitably bump into us. The food is basically standard Italian and generally good but maybe a little pricey. I would say that seating is too tight to really enjoy one's experience especially for an anniversary so we will be going elsewhere next time. read more

Cool spot in the heart of Charleston. The Spicy Soppressata Pizza was a standout-- crisp with just the right balance of heat and sweet. Another standout was the Triangoli--great lemon and sweet pea ricotta vibe. This spot is a great vibe and has a wood-fired oven that sets the tone right away.

What a unique menu of yummy items. The Birrata appetizer was amazing. The supreme pizza had a little spice and was amazing. Good service, great waitress!!! read more

From the moment you walk in, the warm and rustic vibe sets the stage for a truly comforting Italian meal. The focaccia is a must -- fluffy, golden, and served with a rich, whipped ricotta that's as creamy as it is addictive. It's the kind of starter you'll still be thinking about days later. Can't go wrong with a pasta dish. My favorite of the night was the bolognese, it's a standout. The sauce tastes homemade in the best way -- hearty, slow-cooked, and layered with flavor. You can tell they put care into every step of it. And if you're in the mood for pizza, don't hesitate. Ours was perfectly crisp with just the right balance of toppings and a deliciously chewy crust. We also tried the flatiron steak, and it was a showstopper -- perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with savory flavor. It's a great option if you're looking to mix things up from the traditional Italian route. Indaco nails the details and delivers on all the comfort you'd expect from a great Italian spot, right in the heart of Charleston. Highly recommend for date night, a cozy dinner with friends, or anytime you're craving Italian done right. read more
