Had a great dinner at Indaco! The food and service were both excellent, and I would definitely come back. We sat outside, so I'd recommend checking what's happening around the restaurant on the day you go if you're hoping to sit outdoors. There was an outdoor workout class happening less than 20 feet away that was very loud and made it difficult to hear each other. Once the class finished, though, the patio was great! The ambiance inside also looked really cozy and inviting. For food, we started with the focaccia, which I definitely recommend. I ordered the orecchiette with sausage and broccoli, and it was so good. It was my friend's birthday, so we also ordered several desserts and honestly, I'd recommend all of them! Overall, a really great experience and a fun spot for a girls' dinner or special occasion. read more

I used to absolutely love this place. For a while, I honestly thought it might be the best Italian restaurant in Charlotte, and I recommended it to a lot of people. At one point, an Italian friend of mine told me that some of her friends had eaten here and really didn't like it. I actually argued with her about it because my experiences had always been so good. Unfortunately, after my last couple of visits, I understand what she meant. A lot of the pasta dishes I used to love are no longer on the menu. They used to have an amazing lobster tortellini dish, and there was another pasta I ordered several times that was excellent, although I can't remember the name anymore. The newer pasta dishes I've tried just haven't been nearly as good. The last two times we came here, we were disappointed. On my most recent visit, I ordered the truffle pasta, and it was honestly terrible. I sometimes make truffle pasta myself, so I'm familiar with that flavor. What I was served here was definitely not what I expected from a restaurant I used to think so highly of. After two disappointing visits in a row, we probably won't be coming back. I'm giving it three stars mainly because of how good this place used to be. The pizza is still okay, but just okay. There are plenty of other places where you can get better pizza. It's a shame, because this restaurant used to be much better. read more

I thought Indaco was ok, though don't get me wrong, the ambiance is amazing and it's very pretty! What we tried: - Focaccia (4.5/5): This was very tasty! Came with 4 medium-sized slices, so a bit overpriced. - Tagliatelle (3.5/5): The pasta was a nice texture if you like it a bit firmer, but there was hardly any meat at all - essentially no pork. This was disappointing as it felt like I basically just paid for a small portion of egg noodles with one egg on top. It was quite bland. - Orecchiette (4/5): Friend liked it, but it was very heavy and made him feel bloated after/need to use the restroom. I also requested no cheese on my tagliatelle due to allergy and it came out with cheese... so they returned with another one that looked a bit smaller than my friend's, who got it regularly. Beware if you have allergies/make sure to look twice! Our server was nice but the manager serving food to customers looked a bit stressed. I wouldn't come back also because the menu didn't have too many options that appealed to me, but the environment was nice. read more

Came here for brunch with friends and had a great time! Clean, relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. We had some allergies at our table and they were very cautious and accommodating. Food was delicious and portions were good. Appreciated the extra crispy bacon that came with mine. Cooked to perfection! Everyone loved their food and even had enough to take some home. Ready to come back and try their dinner menu! read more

I absolutely loved Indaco! We came here for dinner and it was an incredible date night spot. The ambiance is modern with plenty of lighting and great seating; they have a downstairs section and an upstairs area that overlooks the dining room and kitchen. The service was spectacular, our server gave great recommendations and was constantly checking in to see if we needed anything, including keeping our water refilled. We started with the pesto roasted Brussels sprouts, which were delicious and served as a pretty large portion. For the main, we decided to split the Radiatori Nero. We had never tasted anything like it! The pasta has such a funky, fun texture that pairs perfectly with the sauce because it really holds onto it. The shrimp that came with it were amazing as well, a good size and cooked to perfection. We would hands down order this again! We also got the mushroom pizza, which came with plenty of truffle aioli and a crunchy crust with an incredible cheese pull. All the portions were generous; we actually ended up having enough to take home for another meal! Of course, we could not skip dessert. We got the tiramisu, which is a total must-order no matter how full you are! The cocktails were also great, I tried a blueberry drink, and they have an impressive wine selection as well. Definitely worth checking out and making it a regular spot for date night! read more

Charming restaurant with great service but the food is very average. I ordered the tagliatelle pasta with pancetta which was homemade but the dough was made with a lot of pepper and then they added additional in the sauce. All I could taste was pepper. I'd not recommend it. read more

This place is a vibe to say the least. I saw so many 5 star reviews so I knew I had to try it. I went for restaurant week and got a three course meal for $50 which in all honestly isn't all that bad in today's economy. The server was very pleasant as she let us try multiple different wines and gave great recommendations. I was catching up with a girlfriend so we were talking a ton trying to catch up and the server was very patient with us and came back a few times giving us a good amount of time to decide. We didn't feel rushed at all. The pasta was sooo yummy, it was my first time getting pasta with a raw egg but it was great and really enriched the flavor. The tiramisu was fluffy and they gave you a good amount of food for the pre-fixed menu. read more

When I say amazing, everything was amazing! We came here for our anniversary dinner. The ambiance was so beautiful. It was an evening date. The lighting was perfect. The kitchen was an open kitchen concept which is always cool to be able to see the chefs preparing your meal. The service was extraordinary. All of the food was prepared to our liking. You could taste the freshness of each dish we had. They also gave us a dessert to share that we didn't get a picture of. We also had a nice glass of wine that went perfectly with our food. It's a wonderful space for an elevated date. read more

I met a friend here for dinner. The ambience is amazing all of the outdoor seating is beautiful. I tried a cucumber drink with vodka which was tasty and I ordered th italian salad. I added shrimp which was 5 small shrimp. I think I was quite shocked when the bill came and my salad ended up being $35. Maybe next time I will try something such as the pizza. Overall the service was great just didn't think the price and servings matched for the dish I ordered. read more

Bit of a limited menu made it a bit easier to pick food. Everything was good. Had the mushroom pizza and wood fired oysters.

I recommend! read more

I had a tasty brunch here last weekend! We arrived around 1pm and were seated immediately at a high top. Parking was tough to find but I got a spot in the adjacent garage. We split a mimosa carafe with pineapple and orange juice which was a delicious combination. We the split a breakfast sandwich and pizza. Staff was friendly but it did take a while for each round to come out. This is a nicely decorated, spacious place with an upstairs area too. Lots of windows and bright, natural light coming through. This is in the heart of south end/atherton mill shops. And plenty of other great shops/restaurants around. There was a farmers/makers market going on right outside nearby so it was fun to explore that after. read more

Came here with friends for a Sunday brunch for the first time, really liked the ambience of the place; had plenty of seating. Service was really good. The food was okay: the Pancakes were good but their fruits they put on top change so was expecting apples on top instead of strawberry but the whipped compote balanced everything out. The ceaser salad was really tasty and great portion to split between 3. Steak and eggs were alright as well as the pie and burrata toast. read more

Indaco is an awesome Italian restaurant in south end that's great for a date night, girls night out, or more upscale dinner. All of the food is always good, I love the pizzas and pastas best (which is most of the menu). The Brussels sprouts were also delicious, extra crispy and with an "Italian chili crisp" that was very tasty. Indaco is definitely worth trying if you want good Italian food in a nice setting. read more

Indaco, or "Indigo", is a darling and sophisticated Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of South End. Very clean, fresh and inviting space. I absolutely loved their Steak & Eggs and Tagliatelle dishes were cooked perfectly. Their roasted fingerling potatoes are the most addicting thing I've eaten! Their steak was juicy and tender, seared to perfection. The tagliatelle is their longest standing pasta dish for a reason, and I'm here for it. The cubes of bacon are crispy and pepper pasta made fresh in house! I would definitely visit again on the next to visit South End. read more

I was looking for an Italian place to try that I'd never been to before. Indaco came up in my search, and it also happened to be during Savor Charlotte, which featured a 3-course meal with special pricing. Indaco was participating, so it seemed like a great time to try both the restaurant and event. Indaco is located in South End, tucked in the back corner of Atherton Mill. There is outside seating as you walk into the entrance with pretty lighting. We ate downstairs, but there is upstairs seating as well. There is also lot and deck parking close by. The inside of the restaurant is warm with pretty fixtures and a direct view of the kitchen and the bar. We had an amiable server who made great recommendations for both drinks and food. We tried the Roman Dawn and Sole Serenade for drinks, and then chose from the Savor Charlotte menu. Each of the courses was amazing. The polpette was the first course. These are meatballs with Ceshire pork. They were very plentiful and filling for an appetizer...and tasty too! For the second course, we tried the tagliatelle. It came served with an egg yolk in the center and pork tesa, which had a little bit of a crunch to it. I'd never had tagliatelle served this way. The texture was interesting, and I enjoyed it a lot. We wrapped up with the tiramisu and the zeppole. Both were delicious. There were a number of items I was interested in trying. I liked the atmosphere, food and service and will return in the near future. read more

Always top notch and consistently delicious food. Definitely recommend. Haven't had anything I haven't liked.

Let me just say, if you're looking for a cute date night, girls dinner, or just any occasion to enjoy a night out, Indaco is a must have. It's located right in Atherton Mill in Southend and is easily accessible from both the light rail and parking can be found in Atherton Mill or around. I will say if you come for dinner, I would definitely make a reservation ahead of time. While it's a popular and more intimate restaurant the space is limited inside. They do offer bar and patio seating( with heaters) so will be back when spring rolls around for some patio weather. I met a group of friends for a friends birthday dinner and were immediately greeted and seated upstairs. We opted to split the focaccia bread and also got a shared bowl of Brussels sprouts and to my surprise it was a huge helping for all 8 of us to go around. This honestly may have been my favorite and would easily get next time just as a side with one of the pasta's. One this night I usually would've gotten one of the handmade pasta's: I recommend the Buccatini with the cacio pepe sauce! But this night I wanted just something a little light so I opted to get the burrata as my main meal. Was light and refreshing and not too heavy! I I will say I've come here for Lunch before and had their pizzas and if you're looking for a great place to share big pizzas, this is your spot. Easily could feed 2-3 with the size of them. Can't wait to come back hungry for more! read more

took my bestie here for her birthday, and we had a great time! The restaurant is beautifully decorated for Christmas, and reservations are definitely a good idea. It's a cute spot for date night, girls' night, or even a solo date. You can sit indoors, outdoors, at the bar, or upstairs like we did. They even gave my friend a "Happy Birthday" menu, which was such a nice touch. Our waiter was great, and the food--though lightly seasoned to my taste--was enjoyable. Overall, a lovely experience, and I'd come back when I'm in the area! read more

Indaco - Mussels - Italian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

It's a cute place, but first of all the menu is very limited and difficult to figure out what things are. The pizza was small and OK, but I ordered "Casarecce" which literally tasted like Chef-Boy-Ardee out of a jar. couldn't even eat it. For what we got the bill was large, and I don't think I could have found anything better on the menu. I love Italian but this is one of the worst Italian restaurants I been to, priced high. read more

I really like this restaurant. It's at the Atherton shopping center near Sephora and Warby Parker. I've been here twice in the past couple of weeks. The servers are very friendly. The restaurant is clean! They use linen napkins! . The food is GREAT and they give good portions. The pasta is made fresh daily. They have a huge brick oven for making their pizza pies. You gotta try their little Zeppole donuts. They're delicious. There is inside and outside seating. The bar makes good drinks too. Very pleased! read more

I decided to try Indaco shortly before a flight. My experience was very mixed as the decor was very charming and welcoming and the service was impeccable (Keira was amazingly attentive) but the food fell flat. I tried the following items: pomogranate/fig martini (5/5; unique and tasty), misty mountain (4.5/5; refreshing and tasty), tuna crudo (4.75/5; generous portion and very fresh. I enjoyed the sauces and capers), tagliatelle (3/5; this was supposed to be their take on a carbonara. The pasta itself was fine but the sauce was watery/runny and overall underwhelming. The pork tesa was also a bit hard), grilled trout (3.5/5; the trout on this dish was actually cooked and seasoned perfectly, but all the other components didn't go. The gnocchi was HARD. Not crispy, hard. I avoided it. And the spinach and butternut squash just didn't really pair well), and finally we got a sausage pizza with extra veggies to-go (3/5; I was very excited about this dish because the pizza looked amazing but sadly it was burnt, which overwhelmed any other flavor). Sadly, Indaco did not meet my expectations for tasty fresh pasta and honestly, the experience has left me wanting a bowl of carbonara that's actually satifying. read more

Would not recommend. I wanted to try a new place for charlotte restaurant week. First off-it felt like the air conditioning wasn't working. I sweat through my clothes -the entire time. When I got up to leave I was soaked. It took a lot for me not to get up and leave. The parking here is very difficult. For $50 I got ceaser salad, gluten free pizza and the smallest gluten free piece of chocolate cake ever given. I could have gone to one of the steak houses..and just had a better over all meal. I got the gluten free pizza-it needed a touch of salt-once added it was good. If you have a chickpea allergy-beware the gluten free pasta has chickpea flour. This isn't a place I would return. read more

Indaco has been on the list for a while. We decided to go for brunch to celebrate a friend's new venture. We didn't have a reservation and had a party of 6. It was just a short wait. Great quality pasta and pizza! Hit the spot. Perfect fuel after a workout at Barry's. Parking is super easy and free in the deck. They're always packed so I'd recommend a reservation next time. read more

So first time here and I like the vibe, looks very upscale. Interior is pretty and such a classic vibe. The service was good, very nice staff. They share parking with other businesses so it can be overwhelming when it's crowded. The food was good. Burrata was good except for the Napa cabbage I believe, it was bitter. The bucatini was too spicy for my taste, wished I had known but it was delicious if it wasn't too spicy. Good portion, can make two meals out of it. Cute spot. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Charlotte. I've tried almost everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed. A must try.

So impressed with Indaco! This restaurant has a great vibe. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in. Instantly it was like they knew exactly who we were. They were so welcoming. After chatting for a few moments we were seated. Each of us had a glass of wine...a perfect compliment to our meals. Everything we ordered was AMAZING! The make their pasta fresh daily. You can truly tell the pasta was fresh (not out of a box) when you took your first bite. The marinara was so good. I felt like I was at my great grandma's house many years ago. Try the pasta, pizza....everything! I cannot wait to return to Indaco for another fantastic meal. I had pictures but they were deleted from my phone. I was hoping to show the reader some amazing photos. Next time! read more

First of all the location and vibes are unmatched. It's the type of place that when you walk by you are immediately drawn to. It's very lively inside and we were lucky to get a seat at the bar area, which was actually a table looking outside onto the patio. Excellent service. I wasn't drinking that night, but the drinks looked good. The soppresata pizza was easily the best thing on the menu (just look at it!) We also tried their take on burrata (paired with pears; was good, but not enough bread) and the pappardelle (good, but too much parsley which honestly affected the flavor a lot). The waiter recommended the chicken to us which did look delicious when it was brought out to the table next to us. I will have to try it and some more pizzas next time! read more

Phenomenal!!!! Visited on a Friday around 12 pm for lunch and it was not busy yet so we immediately sat at a table for 2. Our waitress Hannah was very pleasant, friendly, and efficient and gave great recommendations. Ordered their steak and eggs which was delicious. The steak was cooked medium and was very well seasoned. The eggs were scrambled and were very fluffy. It came with a side salad which was just arugula which I do NOT like BUT honestly, with the dressing it came with, it helped tone down the arugula taste for me and I was able to enjoy the salad with my meal. I can only imagine how great the food will taste for dinner. I plan on coming back and trying some of their other dishes. I highly recommend this place for lunch or even a date night. They do have free parking in the lot or a parking deck located beside the restaurant. Does get pretty hectic during peak times but nothing too complicated. read more

The customer service iss amazing. Our food did take a while to come out but they were really accommodating and got us a second round of drinks and a dessert to make up for it. They also asked if we were on a date which we were and they gave us fun conversation starter cards to discuss over dinner. I thought this was such a sweet touch and really shows that they want their customers to have a good time. Everything we ate was delicious but my favorite was the polenta beef appetizer! I got the pasta nero which was great. It's also decorated really well and has a outdoor area. It's great for a date night or nice family dinner. read more
