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.

    Our server was excellent - professional, friendly and attentive. Ceasar and caprese salads were tasty and good for sharing. The chicken scallopini parmesan was quite dry and not very flavorful, and we were charged extra for requesting more sauce to help improve it; Probably should have just sent it back. Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious. Complimentary tiramisu for the birthday girl was festive and delicious.

    It was a good experience. The space is pretty, and the service was amazing, just like the food. It was a bit noisy at first, but as the dinner progressed, the noise level decreased. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Fabulous food and our server was super professional and attentive. It does get super loud in there, which did inhibit our conversation, so just beat that in mind. We will definitely go back, but will try to go at an off peak time.

    The service was excellent and very accommodating. Adam was our server and so nice. We were a party of four and ate family style, which was a little difficult given the size of the table and all the glassware, etc. We ordered the Bolognese for the pasta course; it was good but too salty. For our Secondi, we ordered the Bistecca which was a New York strip and favorable but lots of tough parts to cut and chew through. Starters (ricotta al forno + meatball) and dessert (chocolate torta + vanilla gelato) were all yummy. The whole night was super fun!

    The food was delicious. I didn’t like the large party that was setting up the whole time we were dining. Service was good.

    I’ve been yearning to go to No. 246 for so long and I can proudly say I am extremely satisfied. Beautiful ambience that gave off an italian mob feel which was explained by our server Tripp. He was very attentive and is very knowledgable of the menu. The food was amazing and the portions are huge!!! Definitely will be returning to this establishment.
