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 had Fritto Misto, pizza, Black Spaghetti, and Shrimp Scampi, with Tiramissu for dessert. All was delicious. Service was impeccable.

    It was our first visit to 246, and we had a great time. The service was excellent, and I highly recommend the garlic bread starter.

    Our server was good. As for food, my friend ordered the pancake option on the brunch menu and it came out burned on the bottom. She likes the flavors but decided not to bother with a replacement. Our server did in fact remove the item from our bill to compensate for the trouble.

    Excellent food! I was unhappy with the customer service when first entering. However the bartender made up for it with her friendly greeting and inviting personality

    Outstanding experience. I have not had a memorable experience at a restaurant in a long time but this is one I’ll remember! All of the dishes are flavorful and fulfilling, pasta was incredible, cocktails and wine were great. Service began a bit slow as a 1-top, but was made up for.

    This place is truly a gem within metro Atlanta. I’d say it’s the best Italian restaurant as well. Such flavorful but light food. My server was great, nice, and accommodating. The seating can be a little close if you end up on the booth wall. Other than that, everything here is perfect. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. The cheese bread is amazing and so is the calamari.
