Italian RestaurantFine Dining RestaurantWine BarPizza Restaurant
Located at Atherton Mill in Charlotte’s historic South End neighborhood, Indaco (Italian for “indigo”) serves 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 an open kitchen, and a comfortable atmosphere, Indaco can seat approximately 85 guests inside for a casual night of food and drinks. The wine list is focused on affordable Italian varietals, the Gin & Tonic cocktail is on tap, and the fresh sodas are made in-house.
Large windows fill the restaurant with natural light that reflects off the white subway tile, wood accents and butcher block tables. An open kitchen invites guests to keep an eye on the action while enjoying the sights and smells of Italian cooking. During warmer months, a 44-seat patio invites guests to dine al fresco.

- RERachel Egeland6 days ago5.0If 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.
- BWBrittany WilsonJan 4, 20265.0Good was great! We got apps to share, pizza and pasta. The only comment is that it took 15 minutes for us to be greeted but other than that it was great and will go back.
- APauset pinckneyJan 4, 20265.0I loved everything about this place! I had the Tagliatelle and we split a Mushroom pizza and it was delicious! You feel like you’re at home, the staff was super welcoming. I can’t wait to go back!
- MGMatt GrabskiJan 3, 20261.0Order the Caesar salad. Salty doesn’t describe it, the lettuce itself was fresh and crisp, however the mess of crumb and bad Romano cheese didn’t help it. Maybe a bad night but they weren’t that busy to mess up a salad. The fig & shoe-leather prosciutto pizza was overwhelmed by a poor ensemble of thick sliced prosciutto, unseasoned arugula & chunks of smoked mozzarella that were so thick it didn’t make sense. Dial down that slicer a bit and learn the less is more approach to food is the way to go. As far as the entrees go. Oh boy. The Tagliatelle was horrendous. Poor mix of contrasting flavors that gave it a sour overtone. Fresh pasta that was good but the accompanying ingredients just don’t work at all. The bolognese was nice. The pasta needs to be COOKED in the sauce not just tossed in it. Overall decent. The salad pizza and tagliatelle dishes were awful and don’t recommend at all. The bolognese needs some work but good flavor. 2 waters, salad pizza 2 pasta dishes $120. If it was at least good no complaints on the price for that, but this was an awful dining experience, I couldn’t brush my teeth enough to get the taste of salt out of my mouth. Maybe give it another shot in the distant future but highly unlikely. Great atmosphere & Scene but the real artwork should be on the plate, sadly it was more like kindergarten watercolor.
- EEeyrz54r77zge3Dec 27, 20253.0Its 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.
