Our first visit was for brunch and they made sure we will be back to try their dinner menu. Our server, Drew was so helpful and knowledgeable. The space is beautiful and the service was quick! They have a selection of non alcoholic drinks that we appreciated. 4 to choose from and that double what other places offer. We are looking forward to our next visit. Reservations during the dinner period is suggested and I would agree, especially on Tuesday nights.
This is the best Italian food in all of Decatur. The atmosphere is calm and slightly upscale but no need to dress fancy. Easy to make a reservation, and friendly service. The staff look and act professional. Table service is top notch. Food is authentic and delicious. Pasta was cooked to perfection, specials rotate daily, the cesar salad was truly delicious and a nice size to share. Wine was excellent and if you don’t finish the bottle they let you take it with you. If you’re looking for a date night spot this is it
If I could give this place 10 stars I most certainly would. We decided for my birthday dinner to try this place, and it went above and beyond my expectations. The place is beautiful for one. And our overall experience from being greeted & sat down, to our amazing server I wish I remembered her name, the attentiveness & the amazing food & drinks we received. Me & my fiance both agree that this has now became our favorite restaurant we have ever been to & will definitely be coming back atleast once a month from now on.
We have eaten here often but never for brunch. A kind woman greeted us warmly as we entered the restaurant. She complimented my earrings & was such a kind soul. We ate at the bar & had the pleasure of meeting Powell, who gave us a friendly welcome & waited on us at the bar. He was attentive & funny. We enjoyed our time with him. The 4-course, complimentary, starters were so fun & delicious! I will definitely recreate those deviled eggs at home. We started with the ricotta toast & fresh fruit. Perfection. We also tried the pepperoni pizza & eggs Benedict with ham (salmon is an option.) all of it was excellent. The hollandaise sauce is in my favorite top 3. The leftovers warmed up well & were quite pleasing the next day! We will definitely be back!
This is my new favorite restaurant in Atlanta! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is quick and amazing. We had a reservation, which I would recommend because it was packed, so we were sat down right away. I had the chicken scallopini (Limone) with a side of pasta and it was amazing. They also cleaned our table in between bread service with a tool to get the crumbs off and packed our to go bags as well.
Came her for brunch after church. My absolute favorite thing was the pre-meal snacks! Such a clever and elevated departure to the standard table bread and butter. I'm a foodie who loves variety and having 4 snacks to nibble on before my meal was phenomenal. We ordered the pancake for the table and it was so so good. Fluffy with crispy edges. Not too sweet either. It's memorable and I'd order it again. The entree items all looked delicious and it was hard to choose but I settled on the spaghetti and meatballs. I figured it'd make for good leftovers for dinner. I will preface my opinion that I usually prefer creamed based sauce over tomato based for pastas. With that context, this entree was okay. The pasta was cooked slightly past al dente. You could tell all of the ingredients were fresh, which I appreciated. The two meatballs were huge and reminded me of meatloaf, in taste and texture. Excited to go back and try their cream based pastas. I can always value Italian restaurants that makes their own pasta.
Ambience was amazing, definitely wanna make a reservation. Their bread theybfirst bring out.....OMG so good. Then you HAVE to order at least two meatballs. Im talking melt in your mouth! I had the bolognese, kids had pizza but its so much I want to go back and try. Had the garlic bread too but too much garlic for me. Overall, definitely going back to try the seafood and other items on the menu.
Exceptional dining experience on all fronts. Unquestionably the best Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Maybe the best pasta dish I’ve had (tagliatelle bolognese)…or at least in a very long time. And an insane olive oil cake that I would have probably never chosen on my own but was recommended to us by our server, Drew, who was great (friendly, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable) I highly recommend this place.
This restaurant hits all 3 categories ftok customer service, great food, and great environment. From the warm getting the minutes you enter the establishment to the drink recommendations you definitely want to come her. The influencer reviews were definitely right on this one prompting me to make my own post about how great this place is. If you're in the Decatur area give this place a shot or if you're looking for a good date night place add this in your list. Get the meatballs and cheesey bread you won't be disappointed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Outstanding Italian Dining Experience at No. 246 (Decatur, GA) No. 246 absolutely delivered from start to finish. Every dish that hit the table was rich, comforting, and clearly crafted with care and quality ingredients. The pasta was perfectly cooked and generously coated in a flavorful, well-balanced red sauce, finished with just the right amount of freshly grated cheese. The meatballs were tender, hearty, and deeply savory—easily some of the best I’ve had, with incredible texture and seasoning. The baked dish (with melted cheese bubbling over the top) was indulgent, comforting, and packed with bold, classic Italian flavors that felt both rustic and refined. Beyond the food, the service truly elevated the experience. Our waitress, Randy, was phenomenal—attentive, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel taken care of without being intrusive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. From the food to the atmosphere to the service, everything was on point. No. 246 is doing it right, and this visit absolutely won’t be our last. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back. 10/10. 🍝
