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 stopped in for Saturday brunch while running errands in the neighborhood. The starters were just ok...dense donut holes, cut up oranges, salumi and deviled eggs. The eggs were the best of them. The oranges had olive oil and salt on top which was very odd tasting. For mains, we got eggs Benedict, spaghetti & meatballs, and the ham & cheese sandwich. The eggs were very runny (most of the whites ran all over the plate)....it was tasty, but couldn't eat most of it because it was liquefied. The ham & cheese sandwich was enormous and béchamel was delicious, but overall too much bread. The spaghetti & meatballs were very good, but really spicy...seemed like more of an arribbiata sauce.

    Seated at a table where the draft hit us from the front and back doors. Never felt warm. First time this has happened. Everything else was great.

    First time eating here with family and we were celebrating a birthday! Food was excellent—we ordered all pasta dishes minus one risotto and our garlic bread appetizer was delicious, but we were surprised by the spicy peppers lol our server Abbey was helpful with recommendations and made us feel welcome despite being clearly busy with other several tables! Would definitely revisit No.246
