  This is kind of a hidden gem. Not in the best part of town but incredible good Calabrian food. The food is changing every week with fresh ingredients from the market.

  TLDR: pasta is hit or miss, pizza was solid, everything else was mediocre, service was decent but strange. Chianalea was a mixed experience. Some of the dishes impressed, others didn’t. Linguine with clams and mussels was simple and classically delicious. The noodles were cooked al dente. The mollusks were small, but packed with salty, ocean-y flavor that infused the olive oil based sauce nicely. The fungi pizza was also nice; not too much cheese, sweet sauce, and chewy crust. Unfortunately, the second pasta dish (eggplant, red sauce, pecorino) was quite disappointing. The noodles were seriously undercooked for my taste with the ends of the noodles being completely hard. It’s kind of puzzling how staggeringly different the qualities of the two pastas we ordered were. The complimentary bread was unusually hard and dense. Everything else (mixed salad, marinated swordfish, bruschetta) was just satisfactory. The server was friendly and timely for European service standards. However, he forgot to offer us the pizza menu entirely. Only once we noticed tables around us eating pizza did we even know to inquire about a pizza menu. (Though, we probably could have noticed sooner given that pizzeria is in the name 😅). Chianela is a perfectly okay restaurant to go to if you’re in Zurich. Outdoor seating offered a beautiful view of the sun setting, service is a 3/5 by NYC standards, but a 5/5 for European standards, and the food is edible. I might recommend going for the pizzas over the pastas because my suspicion is that those will be a less risky order. Just make sure to ask for the pizza menu!
