Came in hungry, just asked for Margherita and emphasized that we don't eat garlic or onions and this pizza should not have any by definition. The owner came to take the order as he saw the Thai lady confused. He confirmed that there are no garlic and onions in this pizza. 15 minutes later they bring a beautiful looking pizza loaded with garlic. I smelled it immediately but just to be absolutely sure I am not wrong, I take a bite. Sure enough, lots of garlic. I politely tell the Thai lady that pizza has garlic. She denied. The owner came and he denied as well. When he saw I wasn't backing down he admitted there was garlic, then grabbed the plates all irritated talking to himself loudly and in his bad English it sounded like he was going to make another one without garlic. We waited another 25 minutes and they definitely saw us waiting because there was only one more table occupied by customers and the restaurant was almost empty. Then I realized they weren't making another pizza, and after I asked them, they said it's all pre-made and it's with garlic.

Read moreThe five stars are for the natural style of the Italian boss here, friendliness is as important as the food itself. His wife and Thai staff also happy and helpful, and they quickly made a meal for us just by our suggestion and by what is available in the fridge, it was an Italian seafood salad, some bruschette with tomatoes, then a Pizza Napoli. He didn't mind us opening our own bottle of Merlot, which is very kind, and to top off the dinner, he offered a desert which I have never had, we finished that too. And my woman left in good mood after her glass of wine and this food. Only 530 Baht for all of this, a feeling of the old days. - For the second meal I gave him a call, asking him what he has got in the pantry, and we quickly agreed on our second dinner: Insalata di pomodoro, calamari e cozze (seafood salad), pizza bianca al rosmarino (Rosemary pizza) , calamari fritti (fried squid rings) and Pizza Napoli. It took a minute to agree this was possible to do for us. He is so flexible to do other things than what's on the menu. Free style like in an old Italian trattoria. His languages Italian, German or Spanish, not English, or then Thai with his wife. English speakers however will use their hands, like...
