  • Good for special occasions

  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    Was great. I loved that I was not forced to order all my courses at once. We did not feel rushed which is what a lot of restaurants do, so thank you.

    Amazing experience, my second time going and it was amazing like the first time, I’m convinced they truly understand if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It is an Italian comfort type of cuisine to me because everytime i leave out of there i want to go to sleep 🤣.

    Our server was very nice. The food choices for brunch are mostly heavy lunch items with the exception of one pancake that is the size of manhole cover and just as dense. Service was quite slow as many of the tables who arrived well after us were served much quicker than we were. Everyone has a bad day, of course. Unfortunately, our experience was not a great one.
