Indaco

Its a nice restaurant with really warm and friendly staff but - and I really hate to say this - the food was not that good unfortunately.. I got a tagliatelle and our table got the spicy soppressata pizza to share. Overall it was just too salty😭 . The pasta was a made from a very interesting blend of grains (and herbs?), but the sauce just felt overwhelmingly salty.

What a fabulous experience! The greeters were fantastic, the waitress, Alyssa, was extraordinary, and the food was exceptional!!! The atmosphere is contemporary but warm and elegant. It's a beautiful restaurant and dining experience. We came to celebrate an engagement, and the waitress and hostess topped our Indaco experience off by the extra care and consideration they showed us, definitely making our evening a night to remember!

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.

Both dishes we had were delicious, timely, and fresh. The server was wonderful and attentive. It was nice and relaxing to sit outside after work in the beautiful weather. My only comment would be that at times less is more and that simpler options of delicious classics are appreciated!

One of my most favorite restaurants in all of Charlotte. Staff are always accommodating, knowledgeable about the food and absolutely sweet in helping me celebrate special occasions. Best Italian food in the whole town in my opinion 😋

If you make a reservation here, be sure to let them know what the occasion is! We dined here for a friend's birthday and they made the experience quite special. Food and service was fantastic as always.

Best wood oven pizza we’ve had. Perfect crust and cheese. Simply delicious. Also had the Tagliatelle pasta dish and that was amazing. Excellent service. We didn’t have reservations but we got there at 5p and the hostess gave us a table before the 6:30 busy dining hour started. Definitely make reservations if you plan to dine here. They also had a lovely bar area.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We went to Indaco Charlotte for our anniversary, and it couldn’t have been better. The food was really good but the service is what really made the night. Our waiter was incredible — so attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel special. I had mentioned it was our anniversary when making our reservation, but I was still so impressed that the staff truly took notice. From the moment we walked in, it felt like they were expecting us, and that small detail made the evening feel even more special. Great atmosphere, fair prices, and amazing! amazing! waiter for a special night out. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

Whether you're in the mood for Italian food, have something to celebrate, or both, I highly recommend visiting Indaco. The personalized touch for your night out along with delicious food made our experience here so memorable. The staff was extremely friendly, food was fresh and flavorful, and atmosphere was delightful. The entire table enjoyed their meal which is hard to come by. I can't thank Indaco enough for a great experience and tasty food. We will be back (I need another one of your espresso martinis again soon)!!

I tried this spot at a Yelp event! I tried the fried seaweed and it was great. They have a wide variety on their menu with eccentric items.

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.

Love this place!! It's in a great location and the pasta is all made fresh. If you walk along the side of the restaurant you can actually see them making it! Their Venetian Velvet drink is delicious and the staff is very nice. I do reccomended getting a reservation but I have gotten lucky with getting a seat at the bar.

We met friends for lunch, and thankfully, I brought a jacket. It was freezing inside! Initially, our service was prompt, but there was a long wait between drinks and entrées. No matter, we weren't in a rush, and the food was worth the wait. Highlights at our table where the breakfast pizza and cinnamon roll.

Charlotte restaurant week BEWARE what is on the restaurant week website and what you get in the restaurant are different the website $50 Antipasti and Pasta and a Pizza in the restaurant $50 Antipasti and Pizza or Pasta and a dessert which to me $50 for Pizza is a little much.

I went again to try two different pasta dishes and the pasta was just very bland and not as good as previous entrees I had gotten in the past. But the tiramisu was amazing- would definitely go back for pizza and dessert but skip the pasta next time (unless they bring back the ravioli).

I've only ordered through a delivery service but their food has been consistent and amazing. After ordering a half dozen times, nothing has fallen short of being great.

Indaco is a fantastic Italian restaurant in Charlotte. I live in New York and have been to a ton of Italian places, but Indaco will remain special. Here's why- The moment you walk in, you are greeted by an airy and modern layout with an open kitchen and pleasant staff. We had a reservation but had a 10-min delay in seating. We didn't even complain but the staff acknowledged the wait and one offered us multiple appetizers on the house. We ended up enjoying their caesar salad, burrata, mushroom pizza and beet buccatini pasta. Each & every dish was simply delicious. The caesar salad is loaded with lettuce & shredded cheese. The burrata, with its creamy buttery taste lay beautifully on a bed of fresh pesto contrasted by the yummy charred artichokes and bread served on the side. The mushroom pizza with its garlicky umami flavor & fresh feel of the Arugula was top notch. The beet buccatini with goat cheese mouse was a quirky take on the classic. Wish we had room for desserts- until next time. Many restaurants get food right but few restaurants get the service right even on a busy Saturday evening. Hats off to Indaco!

To start off with the staff were amazing. We visited for Charlotte Restaurant Week. I got the Good Morning Vietnam beer on draft. Then appetizers and main course food. The food was seasoned, platted, and tasted phenomenal. The desert I got the Tiramisu and was as expected. Phenomenal. 9.4/10

The "elevated carbonara" was a mistake. It was hyped up by the friendly but slow staff and it was a massive disappointment. Overcooked and stale tasting definitely something to give back to the chef. Other dishes were a bit better but nothing to go back to. Definitely a place for have drink and a snack then eat better somewhere else later. But a definite no for a dinner date.

Environment was awesome, nice venue with dim lights. Great service. Everything was fantastic besides the food. We started with the sausage pizza as an app. It was fine but a little dry. Next, 3 people chose the rigatoni and one person chose the tortellini. The rigatoni was pretty mid pasta and the tortellini was only 8 pieces which should have definitely been in the appetizer section.

Great meal in a fun part of Charlotte. The South End has some great eating spots and shopping. Indaco is fresh Italian. No classic heavy sauces (except the bolognese) fresh house made pasta and pizzas, but the rest of the menu is really different. The burrata was delicious and they are super accommodating for gluten free. I had the roasted chicken. It has a great buttery sauce, severed with gnocchi and roasted artichoke--good garlic flavor. Everyone else enjoyed the flank steak--cooked perfectly. The drinks were inventive and presented with flair.

Came here for brunch with a large group and ordered the eggs in purgatory and the bellini (would definitely order both again). Cool modern vibe and attentive service.

The food was delicious, and our service was amazing. We sat behind the bar, and had a great view of the city. My sister is a vegetarian, the chef created a special dish for her!

Indaco Restaurant is more than just a restaurant; it's a flavor-packed journey with a twist of modern charm. Food: If there's a heaven for foodies, Indaco must be it. Each dish we savored was a thrilling adventure of tastes and textures. The food here is a delicious dance between tradition and innovation. I could go on about every dish, but the real superstar was their chocolate ganache tiramisu - an absolute game-changer. It's the kind of dessert that makes you rethink your life choices in the best way possible. I like the restaurant's consistency. Even on the rare occasion when we received a slightly singed pizza, they remade it with a smile and no charge. Service: The team members at Indaco are like culinary wizards who know exactly how to make your dining experience magical. It was my boyfriend's birthday, and they surprised us with a complimentary dessert and starter. That thoughtful gesture made us feel like we were part of their extended Italian family. Ambiance: The atmosphere at Indaco is a perfect blend of modernity and rustic coziness. It's the secret sauce that makes your dining experience unforgettable. It's the kind of place where you can go for a casual lunch with friends or a romantic dinner date. To sum it up, this restaurant is where Italian flavors get a contemporary makeover. It's a place where the food will make your taste buds do a happy dance, the service will make you feel like royalty, and the ambiance will set the stage for memorable moments. Plus, the surprise treats on special occasions add that extra sprinkle of magic. If you're a lover of Italian cuisine or simply seeking a wonderful dining experience, Indaco is an absolute gem that you don't want to miss.

Happy hour here is so worth it! Great deals on charcuterie plates and other delicious appetizers. The drinks are also fantastic! Staff was quick and took great care of us!

Great Italian spot in Southend. Flavors are very approachable so don't be intimidated if you're not accustomed to provincial Italian food. This is a place for the masses. Dining is elevated to make sure you've got plenty of cash in your wallet. All pizzas are recommended. This is the value option if you do have a dining budget (business travelers). Their cocktail program is also elevated and matches programs at Oku and Hawkers. Pasta portions are fair. Don't come in here thinking Maggiano's but they do offer some delicious options. I'm a fan...

The three of us did the restaurant week at the bar so we could try everything. The apps were great but the pastas and pizza were kind of sad. They lacked texture and flavor. The honey on top of the pizza had an odd aftertaste like something on it had turned. The tagliatelle was cold dry and didn't come with the chili that it was mentioned on the menu.

One of the best pizza places...great atmosphere quick service. Very busy but our pizza in 7 minutes after ordering...

Been meaning to try this place for a while. Food was very good! Pizza was crispy and delicious. Service was excellent. Highly recommend if you are in the south end!

Absolutely amazing pasta and service. I stumbled upon this place on my way to another restaurant and was so glad I went it. I had the pappardelle and it was so fresh and tasty. The bolognese sauce was to die for. It was filling and the perfect portion. The ambiance was beauty. The second floor gave a beautiful view of the restaurant. We did not have a reservation and were seated as soon as we entered. The Honey I'm home drink... Magnifica!

If you're ever in the area do yourself the favor and try this place out! This restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. Which I would advise to sit outdoors if the weather allows. The food is absolutely divine. We ordered the family style course meal. I would 10/10 recommend and encourage to come with an appetite! Our waiter was absolutely attentive and very informative! We definitely recommend this place!

My husband and I are always looking for a great place to eat. We found Indaco. It was amazing. The service the food was perfect. I had the pasta with crab and my husband had pasta with rabbit. They do have the traditional plates as well but we wanted to try something different. Please go and try if you enjoy Italian food with a twist. You will not be disappointed Annalisa the manager came over to the table and made us feel so welcome. Our waiter was excellent had great food suggestions he knew his stuff. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing!!!! Delicious food - focaccia and romaine salad to start (both 5 stars) and sausage pizza and pasta as the mains (both 5 stars as well). Pizza was extra good with drizzled balsamic. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Great spot if you're in CLT.

We had an amazing time at Indaco! We celebrate a birthday and they had a cute gift waiting at the table and then a dessert for the birthday girl. By the way the food was AMAZING. From salads to pasta and pizza to burrata all of our food was a 10. Would come back every day if I could.

One of the BEST restaurants in Charlotte! My last visit to Indaco was for brunch and it was stellar. Service - David was our server. He was so attentive, thoughtful, and so sweet with 3-year-old niece. One of the best experiences I've had with serving staff, ever. I will ask for David when I go back next time! Food - We had the meatballs, pizza, burger, and cinnamon roll. All outstanding! The pizza at Indaco is among the very best I've ever had. Not your average pizza! During other visits I've had pasta, dessert, you name it. Some of the best meals of my life. Indaco never disappoints. Drinks - The Bloody Mary was 10/10 flavor. Ambiance - The vibe is so cute. Elegant but not stuffy. A great place for date night or girls' night, but we also didn't feel out of place brining my niece to dine here (family friendly).

I had a reservation to celebrate my recent engagement with my fiancé and parents and Indaco went above and beyond for us. They decorated the table with flowers, printed special menus, multiple staff came over to congratulate us and gave us a free chocolate hazelnut cheesecake. They truly made us feel so special and I am so grateful to them! The food was absolutely outstanding - we got the octopus, mussels, spaghetti, pappardelle, soppressata pizza and gelato trio (along with the free cheesecake). EVERYTHING was good!! My favorite might've been the pizza, but I would recommend everything we ordered. The PB&J gelato was outstanding. 10/10 - thank you our server and all the employees at Indaco for making it such a great night!

I've been wanting to try this South End spot for a while and was so excited to get the opportunity!! My friends and I made a reservation here for brunch and were seated promptly. (Note that the hours have changed so they are closed 3-5pm between lunch and dinner!!) I got the Margherita pizza and it was phenomenal! Oven-roasted, fresh crust, and delicious toppings.. what more could you need from a warm and filling pizza. I even tried a slice of my friends caramelized onion pizza which was also very flavorful (loved the goat cheese!) We then shared some Zeppoles for dessert. I had never had these before but they were very donut-like served with warm caramel.. my sweet side could not get enough! Highly recommend! The service was very attentive, especially since we went around 2pm after the brunch rush. The interior was beautifully decorated with large windows creating lots of natural light. Parking was available around the atherton mall but it was a bit busy considering it was the weekend. Overall - great experience here!

Started the night with a drink at the bar. The bartender was very nice, provided his recommendations and I enjoyed the view of the string lights while I sipped my Blue Monday. I got seated with a friend and asked for the shtick since it was my first time and learned they use fresh, local ingredients and do offer some gluten free pasta and pizza dough. I had the meatballs, burrata, market catch (swordfish), chocolate tiramisu. Everything was delicious!! I went with the recommended wine pairing of the rosso di montalcino and it was so good!! Thoroughly enjoyed my evening and will definitely be back!

The service started poorly with us waiting 10 mins and grabbing a server. I appreciate the staff wearing masks but the ambiance is anything but intimate so it was very hard to hear the server. The manager came over and rectified the situation and checked on us throughout the evening. Probably helped that my dining companion had a bright Yelp bag sitting next to her flashing like a beacon. The roasted carrots was just amount of roast for me. Just a bit of crunch and no mush. The agnolotti was a small portion and the flavors were mild. Everyone loved the black garlic pizza The mousse dessert is obviously not made in house which doesn't bother me. I was wanting more of the caramel drizzle to couple with the chocolate. All in all a solid offering and they seem to still be working out a few kinks.

Happening spot in South End. We came for my bride's birthday (reservations are a very good idea) on a Sat night and were seated at a high top near the bar. Decent local beer selection and great service. We started with the Winter Green Salad ($14) and it was tasty and plenty to share. My bride ordeed the Margherita Pizza ($15) and it was well prepared. I ordered the Ziti/Lamb Bolognese ($27) and it was fine. We both commented that we thought the food was appealing and well prepared - but just didn't think it was particularly flavorful.

The staff will greet you at the door which is always a pleasant experience and we really enjoyed our bartender he was very personable and accommodating. The focaccia is chefs kiss here, it's fluffy and the rosemary crust with parm cheese on top is very tasty so if you're a bread lover check it out. It comes with a whipped sundried tomato butter, but in my opinion plain salted butter or herbed olive oil would be better because the butter it comes with doesn't really have that much flavor. The restaurant is really well kept and a nice place for a hybrid posh/casual dinning experience. The drinks here are good as well! If you go, Enjoy!

YES YES YES. We came here around the holidays in December and were not disappointed. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very attentive. We decided to order the chef menu (the wording escapes me), but it was well worth the price per head. You get 2 appetizers, a pizza, 2 kinds of pasta, 2 entrees, 1 side, and 2 desserts. It says chef's choice but our waitress was kind and let us pick all of them. It was amazing and it was a great way to literally try the menu. The portions were the same as if you ordered a la carte. There's an upcharge for certain items on the menu, but well worth it. The pesto pizza was surprisingly good. Didn't know warm apple slices paired so well with pesto. The ossobucco was simply tender and melted off the bone. The spicy shrimp pasta left us speechless. Large shrimps and a yummy al dente squid ink pasta. Perfection. Can't wait to go back. Parking is available (free) at a nearby garage.

I cannot say enough good things about Indaco! Very cute spot. While it is "tough" to get a seat on a weekend or during a busy time without a reservation, the food is phenomenal and makes up for that in my opinion. I'm a big bolognese fan, I get it at almost every Italian restaurant I go to, and this one was delicious! We got the Orecchiette, and like the name suggests, they used that type of pasta -- which isn't the traditional tagliatelle, but I still liked it and thought it was a unique twist. I also loved the focaccia and crispy potatoes. The portions were good in my opinion and it's definitely a place you can split dishes if you want to get a taste of a few different menu items!

My family and I have always had a great experience at Indaco, but last night was especially fantastic. Our server, named Montreal, was one of the best waitresses we had (across the US) in a very long time. She gave us the perfect amount of time to enjoy our dishes, talk, and spend time as a family before asking about next dishes or how everything was. She provided fantastic recommendations from food to drink to dessert! Genuinely a sweet and nice human being! The food was phenomenal! We ordered the Focaccia, Little Gem Salad, Broccolini, Sausage Pizza, and Orechiette. Wow! Everything was delicious and full of the flavor. For next time, we would ask for fewer onions on the pizza, but it was still delicious. To drink, we ordered the Blue Monday, Ice Ice Baby, and What's My Age. We had the first two made less sweet and we're fantastic! For dessert, we ordered the gelato trio, sorbet, Espresso Martini, and Chocolate Mousse. What a great way to end the night. When you need a spot for a great dinner with friends, family, or a date spot, this is a great place to go!

Our waitress was very friendly! We had a reservation so we were sat right away outside. Food was great! The tiramisu was huge...enough for all 4 of us. It was amazing, definitely recommend. All of the cocktails looked delicious and were so unique. It looks like the menu changes up quite a bit so I will have to be back to try more.

Who knew that Indaco now serves brunch ? Going on a few weeks now. I stopped in last Sunday to check out their brunch menu. I have been here several times but for dinner so I was hyped to try brunch here. Indaco is known for their hand made pastas,wood fired pizza, & well crafted cocktails.So with that being said I had to indulge in one of their famous brunch pizzas. Next time I would try it without the meats and just try the eggs and one other meat on the pizza but the pizza itself was pretty darn tasty . We started off with the burrata toast with a twist , oh my and those cinnamon waffles are a must if you visit for brunch be sure they don't forget the honey butter . The steak & eggs were also a hi lite due to how tender and juicy the steak was I could go back for the steak alone! Last but not least was dessert . Who has ever heard of an olive oil cake ? Me either until I tried theirs. The consistency of the cake was giving me very much spongy pound cake and we loved it. Catch a brunch vibe here on Saturdays & Sundays from 11am-3pm

This is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Southend. After craving Italian for a while I finally planned a date night here. I was immediately impressed with the atmosphere upon entry, especially the gorgeous bar (I'm gonna have to return for a cocktail!) it is a small cozy vibe but there is a mezzanine space for some extra seating. The seating upstairs allows for some great views through the massive restaurant windows so you can do some people watching on a busy Southend evening. For my meal I had the black pepper tagliatelle. It was rich in flavor and had a great texture provided by the egg yolk. If I had one complaint it's that I wish there was more it. Overall I'd say this makes for a great date spot or just an upscale night out with friends.

I loved the ambiance of this restaurant! Perfect for a date night/girls night. My pizza was amazing and fresh. Drinks were pretty good too (especially if you like them a little strong). Service was 10/10. Will def be back :)

Yelp did not let us down on this one! Fabulous from start to finish, just amazing! Service was off the charts, and every dish was a gastronomical delight.

Nice ambiance, wonderful service, great pizza (accommodating to my diet restrictions) and first charcuterie I was able to enjoy being celiac.

I went to indigo with my best friend while she was in town for a quick drink after shopping. This was the perfect spot to stop for mid afternoon pick me up; quiet and quaint. We sat at the bar and ordered the Garden Party, Rosy Cheeks, and the burrata toast to share. everything was very tasty in the bartender was especially kind and informative on what to get. I will definitely be back! The Garden Party was SO GOOD.

This place was ok! I was in the mood for some good wood fired pizza, and Indaco looked like it could fit the bill. I ended up thinking that the pizza was really just ok. The dough was pretty good but not the thinnest nor floppiest ever, and I was super disappointed to find that the mozzarella was not real mozzarella...it was the fake plastic stuff. Also, the pizza description noted a specific type of tomato that the sauce is made of but, it tasted like jarred marinara sauce to me. So, 3 stars for pizza. However, the space is very nice with large, open windows that allow you to peer out at all of the activity in the area. Also, the staff was super, super friendly (which I appreciated because I haven't had the best experiences in South End). The bar tender was very attentive and helpful. So, 5 stars for ambiance and service! I'd go back maybe for a drink or dessert.

Utterly delightful. First of all, our waiter, Chris, was really great. Loved his energy, his suggestions, his attention. Always right place, right time. Our experience was on point because of him. The space is very nicely done. And the food! My dinner was like little pockets of perfectly fluffy clouds. Agnolotti done very very well in my opinion. Very flavorful, perfect texture, and the right amount. I had the Daisy Buchanan as a drink alongside. Dessert included a sweet potato option and a lemon tart. Both spectacular and would recommend. Overall an extremely enjoyable experience.

Food is good but service is questionable..ordered an appetizer and server brought out our main meals and said "appetizers will be right out"..appetizer "to be served before the main meal" ..

I love the aesthetic in this restaurant! It's beautiful and open and airy. The service was great. We had the mushroom pizza, spaghetti, and PEI mussels. All of the food was beautifully prepared and came out very quickly. I'd definitely return to this spot for a date night or a girls night! It was awesome. The wine selection is good, too.
