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.

    Attentive service and delicious food in a beautiful neighborhood restaurant. The shrimp scampi and spicy vodka rigatoni were standouts on this visit, but 246 never fails to impress.

    Great food and service. Limited menu but everything we had was superb. A little noisy, didn’t need the music playing.

    Amazing food and great service! Our food took a little long and my chicken wasn’t hot. Mt wife’s pasta was piping hot. A great place for an Italian meal, great bread too.

    Always a great experience at 246, love the tiny negroni so much I always need to order me a double. Chix Marsala is the best in town and thanks for your amazing service. Also, really love the fact the restaurant uses local farmers in their menu and the quality of the produce shows, the broccolini and asparagus where to die for....

    Had a great experience. Complementary bread service is a great start. Caesar Salad was crisp and flavorful, but had a little too much dressing for me. Pasta tasted fresh and meatballs are in a league of their own. Pizza is also delicious. Delicious crust, great sauce and fresh toppings. Pleasant vibe and everyone I interacted with was really cool. Check it out!

    My wife and I loved No. 246. We are big fans of Ford Fry restaurants and also love Italian food so we had to give it a try. We had great service and the atmosphere was lively and yet perfect for a date night. We had the 246 meatball, cheesy bread, agnolotti, and the chicken al forno. The food was all delicious, but the chicken al forno took the prize. The sauce was top notch and would recommend it.

    Let me start by saying, I love 246. I've been here for dinner several times. But today for brunch.. No! As always, the service was great. Everyone was friendly but the food… The food my daughter and I each became very ill so much so we had to stop at a McDonald's to use the restroom I'm still sick in my stomach as I write this. I don't know what happened. This seems very unusual for this establishment but dinner yes… Brunch absolutely not. .
