"Been stopping in for years but have never written about my love for Alleva until now. I don’t want to waste my breath of the greedy landlord working to destroy an NYC landmark but now more than ever everyone should support the classic small NYC businesses that make this city special. What’s so good about Alleva?? Everything! It’s the family vibe. It’s the classic NYC feel. And of course…the food! Something about the fresh ricotta and fresh mozzarella balls just hit differently. In our mass produced world, finding gems that are homemade with love, you just feel and taste the difference. Aside from these items you must try the Italian Mac and Cheese, the Penne alla Vodka, the stuffed artichoke…and the sandwiches!!! I could go on and on but the point is…we need to protect places like this, especially when they still produce such quality goods that I imagine they did 100+ years ago. I will be back asap to stock up on more and I hope we all come together to let Alleva live!!!"
