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.

    Very lively place especially on a Monday night. The service was amazing it was our first experience there and the waiter made sure to be patient and answer any questions we had. I would say be sure to have a reservation tables were always full. The food and drinks were amazing I got a dirty vodka martini which was very good. Me and my husband shared pasta and pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Would most definitely be back!

    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.
