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.

    We've been coming to No246 for years and always had a great experience. Last night however was disappointing. Service was poor and we were seating near the front door which didn't have the winter weather curtain up and we were freezing throughout dinner, with our scarves and coats on. First time we've ever had a disappointing experience so will continue to visit.

    The food was AMAZING as always. We sat outside (as usual) which I prefer because it can get loud inside. It was a very cold night and they could have used 1-2 more heaters on the porch, but the food and service were fantastic as always!

    We had an early brunch reservation, and we had been here once before. We had the same server (who remembered us) and the food and drinks were fantastic. We had the clams and spaghetti, steak and eggs, and garlic cheesy bread. It was way more food than we could eat but it everything was rich and delicious. The vibes are elevated but chill. Highly recommend.

    Service and ambiance were perfect, we had high expectations for the food, but in our opinion was just ok, nothing extraordinary. Loved the garlic bread tho.

    Always good food. Unfortunately service was not too par we have seen in the past. The appetizers got cold by the time we got plates. we had to ask for bread service and plates for appetizers. We specially decided for Tuesday dinner to try table side fettucine. Just a suggestion for this dish: it should be done efficiently and fast. It doesn't taste the same if it gets cold. By the time it was prepped and served - it wasn't the same temperature

    Thank you for your feedback and for your continued support! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the food, though I sincerely apologize for the service not meeting your expectations this time. I truly appreciate your suggestions regarding the table-side fettuccine and I will share them with the chef's team to ensure it's served at the perfect temperature. I also apologize for the delay with the appetizers and bread service, and I'll make sure to address this. I value your input and hope to provide you with a better experience during your next visit!

    To start our Open Table reservation was next to the Server station and we moved. We had 4 orders, my order of Spaghetti and Meatballs with Sausage was very good, the rest were not. The Chicken and Eggplant were over cooked and dry. The place is Extremely Noisy and tough for Seniors to have a conversation, will not be returning.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m glad you enjoyed the Spaghetti and Meatballs with Sausage, but I sincerely apologize for the issues with the chicken and eggplant dishes. I'll address this with our chef’s team to ensure our dishes are prepared to the highest standards. I also apologize for the noise level, and I understand how that can affect your dining experience. I truly appreciate your comments, and I'll take them into consideration as we continue to improve. I hope you'll reconsider giving us another chance in the future.

    Ordered drinks from bartender while waiting for our table. He was rude and unpleasant . He needs an attitude adjustment ! Food was good .. had the snapper and the ricotta stuffed pasta. Bread was delicious . If you want a quiet place .. look elsewhere.
