About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
No. 246 offers “OG” red sauce, classic Italian – a reimagined direction that marks a new era for the Decatur gem, paying homage to the old-school, Italian dining scenes of yesteryear. From chefs Drew Belline and Ford Fry, the menu showcases the likes of spicy rigatoni vodka and a bowl of meatballs in gravy plus remixed, throwback to classics like calamari marinara, cheesy garlic bread, Nonna-approved pizzas and pastas and secondi crowd-pleasers like chicken al limone and shrimp scampi – plus classic cocktails and a carefully curated wine list of American and Italian standouts. For more information on our Chef's Counter, please visit our website.

    The food was delicious! We did have a note that it was our anniversary and it was not mentioned, the server also didn’t ask if we were celebrating anything. It did not feel very special but the ambience is great I would visit for dinner again.

    We really enjoyed our anniversary dinner at 246. Adam was amazing with recommendations & being aware of my gluten allergy. We will definitely be back soon!

    My sorority sister and I went out to dinner here last night, and it was excellent. It’s literally one of my favorite restaurants in the entire city, and I’ll definitely be back!

    Always excellent. Food was great and good value. You could make a meal from the appetizer garlic cheese bread. Hubby and I both brought leftovers home. The server was attentive. It can be noisy, but since we were seated across from the bar, it was quieter than the main dining room.

    First time trying no.246 and the food did not disappoint. I felt like the portions were bigger than I expected and reflected the cost. The restaurant itself was beautiful but I felt like the seats were so close to each other that if you turned around you could literally kiss the person right behind you at the next table. Besides that, all staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back

    We love to visit 246 on special occasions. Last year we celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic time. Just yesterday, we celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday. 246 did not disappoint! We had a lovely evening! The staff was attentive and pleasant! The food was delicious! I wish the tables were a bit larger and that there was more light in the restrooms, but everything else was fabulous!
