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! read more

As soon as you are finished and they get your money they will ask you to leave. We ordered 2 pizzas a bottle of wine and a dessert.

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). read more

AMAZING. Service impeccable. Started with a burrata and it was to die for, the focaccia it came with was the best i've ever had. My pasta dish was flavorful and delightful. 11/10 would recommend read more

Rain or shine go see BriBri, this ain't even about the food. Don't get me wrong the food was amazing. Had the peach pizza which was to die for. But sat outside with my lovely side piece and Bri chatted her up while i was able to doom scroll instagram. Love that. Highly recommend read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

My friends brought me here to celebrate my birthday tonight and Michael and annaliessa took amazing care of us. The food was amazing the pasta was so fresh and the tiramisu was the best I've ever had. They really went above and beyond to help us celebrate and I can't thank them enough!! read more

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. read 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 read more

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! read more

We had an amazing experience at Indaco thanks to Michael!!!! His service was fast, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire meal. He made sure we had everything we needed and truly elevated our evening. Highly recommend asking for him! read more

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... read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I hadn't really heard a ton about this place since they opened, but recently a trusted friend highly recommended it. When I saw the restaurant week menu, it was a no brainer. You can get pizza as an appetizer. My husband and I shared: - Spicy Sopresatta Pizza - Roasted Mushroom Pizza - Black Pepper Tagliatelle - Agnolotti - Panna Cotta (x2) We were blown away by how good it all was. My top two dishes of the night were the Agnolotti and the Roasted Mushroom Pizza. But everything was fantastic. I would happily get it all again. This is now my favorite pasta in Charlotte. The pizza is also great, but there are other pizza spots on par with it. I highly recommend making a reservation in the next week to take advantage of their awesome restaurant week menu, but if you don't do that, it's definitely a must try anytime. read more

I'm so grateful that I finally experienced Indaco. Their pizzas are competing for my love and affection. I think they are contenders for my top 3 pizzas in Charlotte. I was blown away by the roasted mushroom pizza. It was my favorite but the spicy sopressata was also executed very well. The one down side is Indaco gets busy the moment their doors open. As I look around the room there are only a few seats available. But I'd take that as a sign that this place is worthy of your time. Edit: I posted my review a little too early. I posted it before I had the chance to try their pasta! Which, I am pleased to say is the best pasta I think I've had in Charlotte. I've been looking for a pasta that could beat Mama Ricotta's from my favorite pasta in Charlotte and Indaco finally did it. read more

I had my mother visit us from Florida and we wanted to enjoy the day. We saw the restaurant Indaco and we decide to give it a try. We walk in and ask a table for 3 and the hostess ask us if we had a reservation and I said no. Sha said well I can sit you but you have to be done by 7pm (we arrive at 5pm and it was empty btw).. I have never enter a restaurant and be ask to be done at a certain time. It's been the second time I have been here and either being told that they closed at a certain time, so basically ask to order and hurry up, and now told the same time at a early time... I was very disappointed not only the the was I was tread it but also by the hostess that raise her voice when I said I was never told what she said to me. Very disappointing read more

Pizza was really, really, really good! Bar service was not good... lacked attentiveness and honesty about placing our food order. Took about 1.5 hrs to get our pizza. Tried to tell us they were pacing it after our salad but it was still an hr AFTER getting salad. We didn't ask but at check time, they did offer to comp the pizza. (I assume because they knew they had forgotten our order but never admitted it.) The delay also cost us more for the hourly parking. FYI, the olive plate appetizer is a plate of teeny tiny olives ALL with pits. Who wants that?? Not only were they so small that there was not much to taste, but who wants to eat an olive and have to fish out/spit out pits after every bite while dining with others? If in the area, would go back for the pizza, skip the olive plate and give the service another try. read more

The food here is really good. It's a more creative than your normal Italian joint. It has a fun, casual yet classy vibe. The food is pricey but fresh. If you want to dine here, make reservations. Even on weeknights, they are usually full. I ordered the Spaghetti Nero, which is a squid ink pasta with shrimp. It was delicious! the sauce is very good, the pasta tasty and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the burrata which comes with an arugula salad and crackers. The burrata was very good: soft with a melt-in -your -mouth goodness. The bucatini was also good but it was very rich and creamy. . It had bits of pork belly which gives it a nice smoky flavor. Meatballs are also good. I didn't try this but everyone who ate it loved it. For dessert, we ordered tirimisu.it was creamy and flavorful. read more

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. read more

Came here with friends the other night and had a great experience! We had a reservation, but we did have to wait a bit to be seating, they were definitely busy. The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant was great, definitely an energetic feeling. We could not decide what we wanted so go the spicy soppresatta pizza, meatballs, little gem Caesar, and two pastas. Literally everything was great! The pizza and the meatballs were excellent and I'm still thinking about them both. The least liked was the ziti pasta, just didn't have the flavor punch of the other items. read more
