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

Executive chef: Mark Bolchoz

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.

    Had the greatest waitress named Sophia. She was outstanding. All four entrées were excellent. The menu selection was great. And the gluten-free menu was awesome. Only problem which I’m sure that you know is the noise level can get pretty intense when there’s a crowd. Other than that, it was a great experience.

    This was our first time at Indaco. The meatballs were outstanding. The roasted half chicken and the tortelli were very good. Our server Alex did a great job!

    Our server Fawn was the sweetest, very attentive and had a lot of wonderful suggestions. The food was fantastic and the specialty drinks very delicious. We sat outside in the climate controlled area. It was a comfortable temperature. Overall a wonderful evening.

    There’s not a bad entree on the menu! Start off with the focaccia bread with whipped ricotta-& apple butter that sets the mood for delicious Italian food! Our server Brittany was attentive, but not loitering around the table! Great bang for our buck!

    Indaco is always an excellent choice for their consistent high quality food. It's a loud and energetic vibe, not a spot for quiet conversation. The pizza is outstanding!
