    Fantastic experience from beginning till the end. Very friendly and accommodating staff. You know it will be a great evening if you’re asked if you want a glass of Franciacorta 🍾for drinks and not Prosecco in an Italian restaurant 👌 I ordered the lobster tail for my first course, perfectly cooked and it went very well with the avocado 😋 Next of course the Linguine with lobster, so fresh so delicious 😍😋😋😋 As for my dessert I opted for a classic choice , the tiramisu, which came “gift wrapped” in chocolate with a chocolate powder crab. What an awesome combination 😎 Thank you for this wonderful dinner experience 👏👏👏

    Fine food that is delicious and served hot. Jessica, the waitress, is helpful and exceptionally knowledgeable about the dishes. She speaks good English and is able to answer our queries. We had lobster soup (rich & good), spaghetti with seafood (they are flexible in switching risotto (in the menu) to spaghetti) and the sea bass. Generous with the seafood in the spaghetti. The fish is very fresh and comes with spinach & brown rice. Though the price is a little steep, the food is of high quality. We are so happy with the food and decided to make a reservation for dinner two days later - for the sea bass !

    We had a fantastic Italian meal here. The lobster solid was amazing- perfectly grilled with a glaze of olive oil and vinegar. For my main course. I had this spaghetti and clams, which was also very good. We had a wonderful server who was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend coming here for Italian food with a seafood emphasis. I also had my first ever white wine merlot.

    They got me a table for lunch without reservation. The service was good. The tuna was cold at the center despite a warm crust and what should have been a medium cooking but that's all right, it was delicious anyways. From sitting to paying was probably 30min, with only one dish. Impressively fast for the quality of the place. There are not a lot of young people around, despite the atmosphere being a clear fit for dates.

    I am quite disappointed after seeing all the nice pictures and recommendations here, the foods were not as good as other had said. we ordered two fish main courses, sea bass was ok, rather expensive for the quality n size. my cod fish was bad, frozen taste n sauce was bad, also very small portion so not worth at all, but the worst is the pasta with clams, some were sandy, half of it had broken shells in it, felt like I was eating rocks....never have I ever had such a bad experience eating clam, look at the broken shells on the table 🙈 any Italian restaurant can do better than do...

    Came to this place at the invitation of a friend. Initially it was really strange for me to find such good Italian food in Zurich, until I realised Italy is neighbouring country to Switzerland. The service is here is friendly and not over powering. They do make it a good comfortable environment for a quiet dinner with friends. Ambience good. The food is also delicious. I had their pasta. It was well cooked and the flavour was tasty. One downside, the restaurant is quite small, so please do not bring a huge group, you might face some issue with seating. My advice is to call ahead and ask if you plan to do so.

    Super fresh fish. The sea bass in sea salt was amazing. It takes forty minutes to be ready, but it was well worth the wait, and with the starters we didn't mind the wait. The tiramisu was great (and beautiful) too. Service is flawless. Prices are high, but we did have a mm meal of fresh ocean fish.

    Even the restaurant is small but it could still accommodate a wheelchair inside. Just needed a bit of a twist. Every fish dish is outstanding. Personally it could have been much better if they were less lightly salted. Tip is to be added at the time of payment if credit card is used. It's much more convenient to walk there from the city.

    Incredible food and friendly service. I recently visited with family. We wanted to go to this particular restaurant but had accidentally made a reservations in the wrong place - staff were accommodating and the food was incredible - the scallops and lobster in particular I would recommend

    Enjoyed a lovely celebration of us buying our first car in Switzerland at this lovely place. Started with sprots, the in season recommended apetizer, with a perfect white wine from Italy. Enjoyed the sun on the terrace and the manager carefully aranging the umbrella to have the perfect amount of shade. Also enjoyed the seafood platter and Ania tried the cod with citrus foam. At the end ordered a king prawn which should be a specialty but for my palet tasted exactly like the one on the seafood platter. Loved to see that Bianchi dedicates it's gasteonomy to seafood and clearly showing that they try to bring the freshest ingredients for a delightful experience. Cin cin!

    We ordered a seafood risotto which came up with a very strong fishy smell and after making a comment, the waiter took it away without any explanation or apology or any measures to make up for it. When we asked again, the waiter said in a very impatient and unreasonable tone that this was the way their restaurant cooked and that there was nothing wrong with it. I found this to be a very unpleasant dining experience.

    We were walk in’s for a Sunday lunch and were able to be seated immediately. For starters we shared the crab tartare with tuna steak and wild mushrooms, this dish was very good, perfectly displayed, with delicious crab and tuna. For mains, we had the lobster linguini (small size) which was delicious and fresh; and the only non-fish dish from the restaurant, the burrata and spinach cappellacci in a delicious refreshing butter sauce. Over all the food was 5 stars, which I would only expect for the price.

    The food was outstanding, very fresh fish and tasty sides. I got a fish with black rice and the rice was so tasteful even when it was plain. The salad was nice with the lobster, but it was mostly lobster and not really the salad 🥗 service and quality is just amazing! Best spot for fish in Zurich. Everyone is very kind and welcoming as well

    Another one of my go to places in Zürich, especially if you are looking for a good restaurant with Italian cuisine. The location is perfect, very easy to find and close to the Limmat. The service is always very friendly. The food is amazing; the food quality is top-notch. I can't think of anything to complain. I will definitely come back:)

    I had Buratta for a starter and the seafood risotto, I would say this was one of the best Italin resturants I have ever tried in my life. Freash, flavourful food with friendly staff👍🏼

    Incredible service from our waiter Fernando. He recommended dishes based on our personal palettes and wine pairings to match. Must try the oysters, turbot, spaghetti clams, and surprisingly the Chianti by the glass.

    One of the best restaurants we tried in Zurich. Excellent sea food dishes and service. Highly recommended

    Great dinner, seafood and fish only. Not cheap but top quality

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very accommodating staff and delicious food. Javier was a great server - friendly and timely. We had lobster linguini (catered gluten-free for an allergy) and a seafood combo. Both were fantastic. Recommended.

    We were taking a stroll around the lake after having lunch at La Pasta on day 1 of our Zurich trip when we came across Bianchi. I recently injured my knee and was looking for places to sit down in intervals. We decided to sit at Bianchi and a have a few rounds of drinks before walking ahead. We were seated outside (did not ask ourselves) on a small table for two, we then ordered our first round of drinks but did not order food, we were rudely told off by a gentleman serving two tables away that “we cannot sit outside if we are not going to order food”. We then sat inside - promptly finished the first round of drinks (decided not to order any more) and left. In my 15 years of travelling around the world I have never heard of this rule anywhere even at much higher graded fine dining restaurants. I’ve had rounds of drinks (without food) at Michelin star restaurants in New York on prime tables at prime dinner time overlooking the Empire State Building and still not encountered this level of snobbishness. Even if restaurants make up their rules they are supposed to be either mentioned on boards or on menus. Food here maybe great as the other reviews say but my customer experience was extremely poor. Would not come here myself or recommend it to anyone.

    Service was great. Got a table without reservation despite busy times. If you are looking for fish and seafood menus, one of the very good places to go to while in Zurich.

  • 5/5 Chuon Yi O. 1 year ago on Google
    Best seafood risotto I’ve ever had - Very fresh ingredients. Sea bass and lobster linguine were also yummy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

  • 3/5 Dor 1 year ago on Google
    It’s ok. Grilled fish was ok. Starters were meh. Not bad if you’re looking for simple fish and vegetables.

  • 1/5 Saeid P. 1 year ago on Google
    Mediocre food, everything is too salty, overpriced and unfriendly management.

  • 5/5 sheela r. 2 years ago on Google
    The seafood risotto was delicious. They were not stingy with the seafood. And the service was really good. Glad we were able to have our meal here before returning to our country.

  • 5/5 Echo H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good Italian food, fresh seafood. The service is also top

  • 5/5 Carmen T. 2 years ago on Google
    Paolo and his team consistently delivers outstanding and extraordinary service and experience! They always make our day! Their scallops are always fresh and delicately pan fried. Their spaghetti vongole is spectacular and the vongole is always grit-free. I like to add a couple of grilled lobster tails on top to make it even more special.
