Swiss? Italian?

We went out to Queens yesterday and had lunch with a friend from work.  He and his wife are Albanian, and they were trying to stuff us full of amazing food.

They did a great job.

Anyway, on the way there we passed this Swiss / Italian Restaurant, "Chalet Alpina".

I haven't been to much of the Italian Alps, but I am pretty sure they aren 't constructed like Spanish Moorish Castles.
