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.

    Definitely worth the drive from the other side of town. Food lived up to the high bar set by the other Ford Fry Restaurants in town. Quality of ingredients was high and there’s no skimping on portions. Also loved that our recommendations from the waitress came from in depth personal experience over “this is what’s popular”

    This restaurant was recommended to me so many times. It was my boyfriend's birthday, and it was amazing! Drew was our server, and he was so sweet. He had so many tables but still took the time to explain the entire menu and make recommendations. I gave him candles that I brought, and he put them in the dessert. This was an amazing experience we will DEFINITELY be back!!!!!

    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.
