Little Italy’s Alleva Dairy, which bills itself as America’s oldest cheese shop, is closing down after falling behind on rent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“After a remarkable 130 years, my beloved Alleva Dairy will no longer be on the corner of Mulberry and Grand Street in Little Italy, New York,'” owner Karen King told The Post Tuesday.Allevia was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy afterKing said she and the landlord ultimately reached an agreement releasing her of the shop’s substantial financial debt as long as she vacates the Little Italy spot next month.
The longstanding cheese connoisseur has not only drawn generations of families to its long menu of Italian delicacies, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, cured meats and cannoli’s, but Avella’s Dairy was also known to attract famous faces from around the world. “It’s a loss. It’s sad that a store like that has to go under. Alleva was a great store. It was all about the food,” Actor Chaz Palminteri, who frequented Alleva Dairy when he was in Little Italy, told The Post Tuesday.“The place looked the same for over 100 years. How can it not be there after so many years?”
Avella strived to dig itself out of the hole, but couldn’t keep up with its landlord’s demands. In April 2022, Jerome G. Stabile III Realty filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court asking permission to evict the shop if they were unable to pay off its debts.King did everything in her power to keep the historic cheese shop open, including cutting staff pay and begging the government for help.
