pasta cafe soi 5 nimman,nice setting.

is it me, or was the PC better prior to the Chang beer garden venture?

Easy - Dukes riverside, best pizza in town.

Best ribs sure but pizza is like 6/10 (and lower when they burn it which has been often in my experience).

Find somewhere better if it's pizza you are after.

Coach's Pizza on Ratchaphruek Road has VERY good pizza and VERY good ribs.

Pizza and Pasta (near Mae Hia Market) has great pizza, Italian dishes.

Is Coach's Pizza now under new management?

I think we'll try the Girasole La Gondola - nothing wrong with Dukes, had their pizza before and it was very good, just think the Girasole setting will be more appropriate and reviews on tripadvisor look very good.

As for "get her some Thai food", wow, that's so romantic

That fits the bill better than Dukes as the OP wants Italian stye, D's is heavy,greasy american style (yum) This the one one behind wawee on Rachadmoen ? Little park like seating area. Intimate.

If you're in the Nimman area, you could also try "Why Not", they have outside seating, little less park like than "Pasta Cafe", but I think the Chang Beer Garden ruined the PC's ambiance.... Just one mans opinion... Not trying to get people all worked up!

Where ever you decide to go, I wish you good food, good luck and good loving company from your GF!!!!
