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.

    I have dined at 246 many times and always had a great experience. Last night, our service was downright bad. Jeremy our waiter may have been busy but it took him at least 15-20 minutes to even come ask us for a drink order. Our food took a long time (not his fault) but after he brought it, he never once came back to ask how the food was or if we needed anything. We had no water and had to get up to get water from the bar. We weren't offered another glass of wine or anything. He came over and said "how was it?" after about 40 minutes. We jokingly said, "we missed you" and he said "oh, what could I have done for you?" and were were like, well ask how our food was, did we need anything and refill water and other beverages. Overall, not a great experience this time.

    Amazing food and ambiance. Our waiter was great, but something happened with the pizza oven so it took our food longer than usual to come out.

    This restaurant is usually one of my favorites but the outside seating is inadequate. It was about 52 degrees outside at night and it was extremely chilly. They had 2 heaters to cover the outside patio area which was not sufficient. The server had to give us blankets to bare the cold. This was an extremely unpleasant experience and I doubt I will be coming back here anytime soon. I ended up getting sick the next day.

    Food was delicious and the waiter was great, however the restaurant is relatively small and the tables are really close. The noise level was unreal. I had to shout to have a conversation and everyone else had the same idea because it was extremely loud. Don’t know if I would go back because of the noise level. It takes away from the entire dining experience.
