Our first restaurant and first meal in Charleston!! Delicious.... I had been wanting to try a Charleston peach pizza and it DELIVERED the pasta was very tasty as well. The broccolini, I couldn't recommend enough. The peppers were a bit soggy for me, but still good. Tiramisu was perfect

When I was in town by myself I stopped for dinner on a busy Saturday night. They were kind and sat me immediately at the bar. The bartenders were super fun and friendly. Every drink I had was delicious. I took their food recommendations and was not disappointed. Highly recommend the pizza. Their pizza oven is incredible. It was busy and loud, but in a way that is enjoyable for a Saturday night. Met some really nice people around me and enjoyed my dinner!

The upscale version of Italian, this place is great to impress a client or a date. We got sat later in the night and closed out the place. Our waitress was an angel but drink service was slow probably due to the time. Beware their espresso martini has hazelnut syrup if you have any allergy people with you. Food that was worth it: the focaccia, the little gem salad, and the tagaletti (or whatever comes with spec). The pasta with the shrimp and the squid ink pasta was ok but was salty (and i don't think they advertised the fact it was squid ink pasta). Espresso martinis were too bitter for my liking.

Lively and loud spot where everyone seems to be having a great time. Terrific and friendly service. Polpette and little gem salad to start followed by the peach pizza. Pizza was amazing as far as flavors, but texture of peaches about what you'd expect on a pizza, not really my thing, but taste was great. Tiramisu for dessert, very good. Enjoyed the meal!

Tyler behind the bar here is the best! So friendly, informative and efficient! He answered all our questions with a smile and in depth helpful answers. The food we had was amazing as well. Everything was rich, filling and warm and cozy. The flavors of the food paired especially well with the delicious espresso martini I was drinking. Beautiful spot on King street with talented staff and delicious food.

Indaco was great! It was just two of us but we were HUNGRY--we grabbed the SC Peaches pizza to start which was just sweet/funky enough--the crust was nice and overall it was a solid 8/10. We then ordered the black pepper tagliatelle and the cappellacci. The tagliatelle was like a mix of a carbonara/cacio e pepe--it came with a raw egg yolk on top which I was totally fine with. It was delicious and the pasta seemed fresh and just al dente. It was a bit greasy due to the pork tesa but I still devoured it. The best part was the pasta itself. 7/10--I wish it was less greasy but I understand the fat is part of the flavor. My partner got the cappellacci--I tried a bit and it was really nicely cooked with the pasta being the perfect texture. I think the best part were the sweet onions--they really balanced the saltiness of the parmesan and chicken crackling sprinkled on top. 8/10! Overall, the experience was great and I recommend Indaco for a great Italian restaurant Downtown. It was a bit dark inside, so the photos didn't turn out well! The atmosphere is nice, though it can get a bit loud. We didn't try any drinks this time around but the bar looked well handled and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Service was stellar and the food came out fast.

The salad and pasta was delicious. We walked in and was able to be seated on the high table near the window on a week night. The service was attentive. Nice choice for "fancy Italian "

Make sure to get any seasonal item at this Italian restaurant. The dishes were very fresh and you could tell that everything was homemade. The pasta was overly salty, which I typically like, but this was a little too salty for my taste. The pizza was much bigger than I had expected. Shishito peppers came with this amazing lemon ricotta, which gave it an extra layer of flavor. The inside is very loud, which makes it hard to hear the people you are with. We had a table of six and it was extremely difficult to hear the people at the end of the table.

Everything on the menu I tried was delicious. The gnocchi that comes with the roast chicken and zucchini is giving me major Italy flashbacks. The meatballs were big and hearty and perfectly seasoned. I reccomend getting some of their seasonal items because they really do put thought into the menu and they are limited time. Our waitress was great, she was very attentive and helpful when we were making decisions. The environment was a little loud. It's all hard surfaces so when it gets busy in there it gets very loud. Above the bar is the only place they have added something to absorb the sound. Our party was 6 and it was hard to hear the people at the end of the table.

You'll be hard pressed to find better food in Charleston! This gem has a refreshing take on modern Italian. Their wood fire Neapolitan style pizzas are delicious, but antipasti, pasta entrees, and craft cocktails are what put it over the top. Their meatballs are as tender and well balanced as any you'll have. Their focaccia bread is outstanding with a house made dipping oil that will blow you away with its depth. And their raviollini is one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Its sweet pea and ricotta filling, with its slightly acidic, slightly hot, slightly fatty sauce is incredible. Add to this an extremely knowledgeable and engaging wait staff and a laid back atmosphere and you've got everything you could want for a fantastic dinner. Couldn't recommend this place enough!!
