What happened after Ramsay's Best Restaurant?

Gordon Ramsay presented Casamia as an innovative restaurant in Bristol, paired with London's Mennula, in the first episode of Ramsay's Best Restaurant (Channel 4, 'Italian Restaurants', aired 2010-09-14), according to TVmaze's episode synopsis. Secret Bristol reported on 2024-01-09 that the Sanchez-Iglesias family's restaurant began in Westbury-on-Trym, won a Michelin star in 2009 and moved to The General on Lower Guinea Street in Redcliffe in 2016; the outlet dated its closure to August 2022. Restaurant Online reported on 2024-10-25 that Casamia closed in 2022, citing rapidly rising costs, and that chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias then opened Casa, a more casual Italian restaurant, on the same site. The same article said Casa had closed to future bookings. Bristol24/7 reported on 2024-01-08 that Sanchez-Iglesias hoped to reopen Casamia somewhere new, with no location or date announced.
