Going back about 10 years.. Does anyone remember a small authentic Italian pizza restaurant a little south of tha pae gate McDonald's on the same side. I can't remember the name. It was run by an Italian guy and his Thai wife.

Apparently he was found dead in bed in a hotel room in Myanmar. I'm guessing sometime 2014/15.

Any details you can remember appreciated.

Do you remember the name?

Unfortunately, no. Although from recollection the name wasn't that obscure.

Pizza E Vino as mentioned in the linked thread - disappeared 2015/6 going by historical Streetview images.

Seemingly didn't run it for very long.

His name was Sergio. Used to have a big restaurant near the river called Buonissimo, which I think closed around 2011. He also had an Italian grocery store just off Changklan Road. The food in his restaurants was excellent.
