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.

    Service, quality of food, and portion sizes were all really great! My only minor complaint is that we were seated at a 2 person table crammed between two other tables, so close that you can hear everyone’s conversations and vice versa.

    My husband and I live in Macon, but whenever we're in the Atlanta area, we have to eat at No. 246! The meatball is an absolute must, but the pasta dishes are also top notch. Great service, as well!

    The food was amazing! I didn’t like the side pasta but that’s just preference. It was extremely loud. I wasn’t expecting that. I also didn’t like the table size and I felt it was over crowded.

    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!
