"Even if the conversation steers toward home composting, any night at Decatur's No. 246 will still feel a little sexy when you're sipping martinis at a corner, candle-lit table by the open kitchen. The charming red sauce restaurant makes uniformly good Italian food, from cheesy garlic bread to thinly pounded veal parmesan and a super spicy rigatoni that’ll become your benchmark to judge all others. Share a few things, especially one of their damn-good, wood-fired pizzas. Plan to book a reservation at least a week out. And two weeks out for groups of five or more. In the warmer months, diners spread out onto the patio, so it's slightly easier to get a reservation." - nina reeder
