Overview

Elvie’s welcomes friends from Birmingham’s Pizza Grace for an evening of Italian cooking. Co-owners Ryan and Geri-Martha O’Hara return to team up with the Elvie’s kitchen on an à la carte menu that skips the pizza entirely and highlights a range of other Italian dishes. Wines imported by Vins de Lieu round out the night.

Ryan and Geri-Martha trained under James Beard Award winner Frank Stitt before co-founding Big Spoon Creamery, which they grew from a driveway pop-up into three brick-and-mortar locations. In 2025, the couple took over Pizza Grace, a historic downtown Birmingham pizzeria, and redesigned its space and menu around seasonal sourdough pizzas, small bites, and natural wine. The restaurant earned a Bib Gourmand in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide American South, and the pair were nominated for the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef: South in 2026.
