Wow. Double wow! The dining experience here was nothing short of sensational. Everything we touched was a 10/10. Burrata, prosciutto di Parma, and meatball were excellent. Bolognese pasta was meat forward and very decadent. The star of the show was the chicken parm… TRIPLE WOW! An absolute must order.Ambiance was the perfect compliment to the food, and the wait staff were kind and extremely knowledgeable. I will come back here during every visit to Atlanta.

Food was amazing and so was the service! I like how I was asked if I had any food allergies by my server. Food came out pretty quickly and didn’t have any issues with any long wait time. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes.

Sadly I’m going to have to give this place up. Ever since they’ve been going viral on TikTok the quality has dropped drastically which really sucks! I had a Caesar salad from here tonight and literally not a single anchovy. Usually they’re already stingy with them, by only giving 2 or 3, but none turned me off completely. Usually the cheesy bread is filled with delicious Calabrian peppers. Tonight, 2 peppers. Just feels like a waste of money and time these days. So sad to see the quality drop.

Fanciest Italian spot in the square and maybe outright.Great service, knowledgeable about their dishes, homemade fresh pasta. This place is a mooood. White table cloth and tasteful decor.Get reservations because it fills up.The bar is a great hack if you can’t get a table.

My husband and I had a reservation at no. 246 on 3/10/24. We've been there in the past and had a 5 star experience before. I don't usually write negative reviews but this experience was very disappointing, from the time we sat down to when we left. We waited at least 12-15 minutes before we are greeted by our server. He was assisting tables around us however, never said "welcome, I will be with you shortly". Next, the drinks and food were slow to come out. We ordered the garlic bread as our app, it came out with burnt edges and burnt flakes throughout the bottom, maybe it was from the burnt flour leftover in the pizza burner, I don't know. Then for our entire we both ordered the chicken Milanese. Something we've ordered in the past. However, mine came out burnt. My husband's entrée did not. When I notified the server, he told me to hold on and that he needs to consult his manager. However, didn't remove the plate. The manager came out and told me that the chef said that is how it was suppose to come out. Which blew my mind. The bottom of the chicken was completely burned. Visually black and tasted burnt. I pointed out the inconsistency between my dish and my husband's. She said well it will probably come out again the same way. I chose another dish which took another 20 mins to get. Overall it was very disappointing experience.

CONSISTENTLY fantastic food every single time we visit. We’ve been here 3 times in the past 3 weeks because we love it so much. The food is divine everytime! We love the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta, meatball, chicken parm and garlic bread. We will be coming here for years to come! Found it on Tik

The restaurant was utterly amazing. Ambience and environment was a bit loud but was very nice. The food was incredible. There was nothing we ate that we didn't love. The Tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had.
I recently dined at Restaurant No. 246 and had a delightful experience. The ambience was pleasing with low lighting, creating an intimate setting. Reservations were smooth, and there was only a brief 5-minute wait upon arrival. The waiter was knowledgeable and pleasant. The cheesy bread is a must-try, and the tennis ball-sized meatballs had a delicious hint of spice. The calamari was cooked to perfection. I opted for the whole chicken and shrimp scampi, both bursting with flavor. While the $7 pasta side felt like it should have been included, the Evoo dessert was a sweet and savory delight. I'll definitely be returning, though the free bread with meat sauce had a slightly tough outer crust.
Niya and Linda were awesome! Linda went above and beyond to navigate confusion in my reservation and get me seated (confusion was caused by me). Niya did an excellent job and the Spinach Agnolotti she recommended was delicious. 246 has great energy. One of my favs.

Got charged 45 dollars for a pour of KC at 170 dollar which is a ridiculous charge so management which sets prices earns this 1*. Also did the “chef table” where two of the 100 dollar meals came with one dish? If there was one person who did this they would get the same? So how do you justify charging 100 for the additional person?

I was extremely disappointed by my visit to No. 246. I have eaten at many Ford Fry restaurants and was eager to try this one. It did not live up to my expectations. First of all, the service was bad. It took a while for someone to bring water. She asked about allergies and said she would return with bread. The bread never came. Eventually our server showed up and asked about our food order. I asked about ordering drinks and she said she could take all at once. We placed our orders. The "simple salads" came right away but the drinks didn't appear until I asked the host to find our server to ask her about our drinks. More about the "simple salads": they consisted of arugula with parmigiano and lemon. The arugula was gritty and had not been removed from the stems. There did not appear to be any seasoning on the salads and they were dry. The fritto misto was soggy. The cacio e pepe was a bit overcooked and the sauce had separated so that oil was visibly pooling on the sides. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this restaurant. Now I'm questioning whether to try other new restaurants associated with the Ford Fry brand. Someone needs to be paying more attention.

My family and I found this gem back in 2013 and returned last night for our first time since. The food and service was even more delightful and delicious. We had the Fritto misto calamari & shrimp, Caesar salad, chicken Marsala, black spaghetti, shrimp scampi with half portion of pasta, and one of their pizzas. Every single item was expertly crafted and extremely delicious. The table was quite small but we made it work. The staff was friendly and well informed. The menu is in traditional Italian and our waiter all of our questions effortlessly.Parking: After 6pm street parking is free. There wasn't much parking by 6:30/18:30 the time of our reservation. I called the restaurant and they explained all of my parking options fairly well. My family and I parked behind South State in a lot for $10. There is a free lot behind a church or behind a library. It all depends on how far you'd like to walk.

The food here is outstanding. I am Italian and I honestly don't like Italian food out at a restaurant anywhere. The food here is just so good and I love that it is good quality while not ridiculously large portions. So many Italian restaurants serve you insane amounts of food which isn't even good. The spice pasta vodka was by far the best I have ever had and the meatball is better than my Italian mother makes which I've never said before. Amazing!!
