Alleva on Grand for ricotta. Joe's on Sullivan for mozarrella. Di Paolo's for everything else.

probably not quite as good as the other places, but the ricotta at East Village Cheese is actually quite delicious.

Lioni in Bensonhurst. ( Brooklyn is NYC)

Joes on Sullivan, between Houston and Prince.
Alleva, on Mulberry...

I love the sheep's milk ricotta from 3 Corner Field Farm and Valley Shepherd- both at the Union Square Greenmarket on Wed. and Saturdays.

Valley Shepherd is also at w97th market on Fridays. All of their cheeses are good.

In addition, I really like the fresh ricotta from Dancing Ewe Farm. I used to get it at Fairway. I'm not sure it's still there. And I thought I read somewhere that they are at USQ greenmarket as well.

Just to let you know-Valley Shepard does a lot of greebnmarkets-79th and Columbus on Sunday, Tompkins Sq- there's a long list on their wwebsite.

That's good to know. I often find myself at greenflea on 77th on Sundays. Thanks for the info!

btw someone recommended
Di Palo's in little italy

any good?

Definitely. I hate the slow lines at Di Palo's, but am always glad when the stuff we bought are being devoured on the table. We've bought fresh ricotta and they're pretty good.

The BEST!

Do expect long lines and long waits over weekends! They are so nice they let every customer to sample and ask questions so the waits get really long. If you go at off hours, esp. weekdays, then you won't have to wait for long and can talk to the staff for a long time!

Di Palo's fresh mozzarella is wonderful.
