Niagara Food Specialties. In 1975, Mario Pingue Sr. established a restaurant in Niagara Falls that quickly developed a reputation for quality cuisine and attentive service. As the business grew, Mr. Pingue kept his personal touch by often sending his homemade prosciutto to the guests. That effort resulted in a steady string of comments which encouraged him to consider not only making prosciutto for his family but so that he could serve his catering business. With a new cantina location, and growing demand Mr. Pingue then recruited two reluctant apprentices, his young sons Mario Jr. and Fernando, passing on to them the butchery and salting techniques he learned from his youth.
