"When Alleva Dairy, the oldest cheese shop in the U.S., was forced to close its Little Italy location after 130 years, New Yorkers were outraged. The legendary shop had all but defined its corner of Mulberry and Grand Streets, and its loss was mourned both in person and online, with many frustrated by the financial struggles and court battles the business had faced."
""At its heart, Alleva Dairy is about family," King said in an official statement. "Cha Cha always believed that serving our community meant welcoming everyone as part of our extended family. As a true melting pot of cultures, Chelsea Market's vibrant community is the perfect fit for our next chapter. We look forward to continuing Alleva Dairy's legacy in one of the city's most iconic food destinations and sharing our century-old recipes and home-cooked flavors with locals and visitors from around the world.""
"Fans will be delighted to be able to once again devour Alleva's classic dishes, including hot and cold Italian sandwiches (yes, the Godfather Italian and the SchiaChaCha flatbread are on the menu); homemade dishes like eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, stuffed artichokes and prosciutto and ricotta balls; cured meats; and, of course, a ton of desserts, like Cha Cha's famous tiramisu and authentic cannolis."
Alleva Dairy closed its Little Italy location after more than 130 years amid financial struggles and court battles. Karen King, widow of John "Cha Cha" Ciarcia and now sole owner of the brand, is opening a new Alleva Dairy inside Chelsea Market, likely in late winter. Chef Danny Paolucci will lead the culinary vision for the new spot. The Chelsea Market location will offer classic hot and cold Italian sandwiches, homemade dishes like eggplant and chicken parmigiana, stuffed artichokes, cured meats, and desserts including tiramisu and cannolis, preserving Alleva's family-centered recipes.
