The Food News You Need to Know in Westchester This June

An iconic deli in Ardsley, an Italian hotspot in Irvington, and more make the month delicious.

The Bronx’s iconic Liebman’s Deli (472 Ashford Ave, Ardsley; 914.231.6222; liebmansdeli.com) has debuted a second location. The 40-seat restaurant offers traditional Jewish deli favorites, such as in-house cured pastrami, stuffed cabbage rolls, Hungarian goulash, beef tongue Polonaise, chicken-in-the-pot, smoked whitefish salad, knishes, latkes, hand-cut fries, and chocolate egg creams.

The 30-seat Mambo Italiano (100 Main St, Irvington; 914.231.5437) has opened with chef Dani Berarducci and Ana Rusch as co-owners. Braised chicken thighs with polenta, lasagna, honey-anchovy rigatoni, tagliatelle with Bolognese and ricotta, roasted cauliflower with yogurt sauce over black-bean purée, and tempting house-made desserts and breads are among the offerings.

In the space that was Beach Café is now Siren Restobar (220 Sound Beach Ave, Old Greenwich; 203.628.4205; sirenrestobar.com), a Mediterranean tapas specialist from the same owners as Le Penguin and Le Fat Poodle. On the menu: ceviche with avocado crema, lamb lollipops, duck leg confit in an orange reduction, saganaki fondue, roasted cauliflower with green tahini and pine nuts, and wild mushroom toast with Camembert, miso, and honey. A second location is planned for Port Chester next summer at the corner of Main and Mill streets.
