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.

    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!

    We came for dinner on our daughter’s 16th Birthday. They had a card at the table and gave her the Zeppole for dessert! My Agnolotti was the best pasta I have ever had! No joke! My daughter had the Radiatori and that was really good too. 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone. I wish I could go back, but MN doesn’t have this gem of a restaurant.

    We had a very enjoyable dining experience at Indaco. The service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. Our Amatriciana pizza and tagliatelle pasta were excellent and very flavorful. There were also good happy hour deals too (bar only) which were nice. Overall, we’d certainly return!
