The Ben-Mar’s founders Benedetta and Marino Zazzera Sr. opened in 1963
 featuring Italian specialties in this former D&H Canal Company office building built in 1927. The original structure was used by D&H from 1927 to 1960 as Penn Division headquarters. Division superintendents, train dispatchers, the road foreman of engineers and various other representatives had offices in what is known today as [Little] Nikki’s at The Ben Mar Restaurant.
Now in three generations- Benedetta and Marino Zazzera Sr.’s son Dominic Zazzera and grandson “Little Nikki” Zazzera assure the  tradition of quality food and service continues. Nikki’s at the Ben-Mar’s wonderful and original recipes are still made daily. Soups, salads, dressings, bread, and entrees are all home made!”
