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.

Everything was great. We had a couple cocktails. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the crabcake. We then decided to get the dessert that had some chocolate and whipped cream, but I don’t remember the name of it. Everything was delicious and our server was super nice

Thanksgiving buffet was excellent. They had a flounder stuffed with crabmeat that was just outstanding. Others in our group had the traditional Thanksgiving food and commented it was extremely good. I tasted the fried chicken and it was crispy and juicy. Service was outstanding by Stan who always had an eye on us. It is the slow season now so looking forward to the Spring when the piano player is back. Definitely recommend giving this restaurant a new try.

The food was amazing. You are going to spend a tad more, but you are spending money for food you can’t get anywhere else. Our waiter Jesse was outstanding. Would highly suggest you request him.

They’re still working out “bugs” with Open Table as they’ve just started using it. However, the manager was extremely accommodating and even provided a complimentary tequila/pineapple shot at the end of our meal. Food was phenomenal. Staff is courteous and attentive. Prices are reasonable for quality of food. I highly recommend for a different experience and great food.
