Oxmoor Road and Broadway Street. Gianmarco's has been serving Italian since 2003, and Saw's BBQ opened its first room here in May 2009. Alfred's is an antique shop by day and a wine bar by night.
Gianmarco's is a family-owned Italian restaurant in Homewood that opened in February 2003, with daily specials ranging from grass-fed prime ribeyes to fresh grouper with andouille gumbo and braised veal ossobuco. Its private event space is pitched for groups from 20 to 120 guests. Bham Now's 2026-06-02 post lists it with a May 2026 Jefferson County food-service score of 97.
Saw's opened its first room in May 2009 in the former Broadway BBQ space in Edgewood; the name is an acronym for Sorry Ass Wilson, a nickname the founder earned when smoking meat and making sauces was still his hobby. Alabama Tourism describes North Carolina-style pulled pork with a vinegar-based signature sauce and white sauce on the chicken, and Bham Now's 2025 guide orders the smoked chicken with white sauce. The company began franchising in 2018 and Birmingham voters gave it the barbecue category by a landslide in Bham Now's 2022 NOWIE awards.
Slice Pizza & Brew's Edgewood room marked two years in the Homewood Star's May 2026 column, in the space previously occupied by New York Pizza. It is one of the Slice rooms in the Birmingham area.
