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.

    Great place for date night. The cheesy garlic bread is amazing. The tables are a bit small but overall great food and drinks.

    The spaghetti and meatballs were absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The halibut was good, though it was slightly overcooked. The highlight of the experience was the waitress—her professionalism and training were evident in every interaction, making the meal even more enjoyable.

    I go to 246 a lot and everytime it’s just amazing, the food is very consistently delicious and the service is always great, my favorite things to get are the meatball and black spaghetti and from when I moved here(6years ago) till now it’s still one of the best meals I’ve had.

    So many reviews on that garlic bread and it was very subpar. Not a big garlic taste and burnt.

    We went for my mom’s birthday and had an amazing time! She has a gluten allergy and they were incredibly accommodating. Any pasta could have been subbed for gluten free pasta (aside from one stuffed pasta) and all meat dishes could be made gluten free (aside from chicken and eggplant Parmesan and the fish). My dad got the chicken Parmesan and it literally took up the entire plate! I got the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta and it was SO good! Perfect amount of spice for sure.

    Everything about 246 is phenomenal. Have eaten here on multiple occasions and they never disappoint. Please do yourself a favor, make a reservation and go and eat some of the most delish Italian food you can have outside of Italy.
