OUR STORY
In 2020, the world was hit with a global pandemic that seemed to turn everything upside down. We all felt the effects of the crisis, watching as businesses crumbled and families drifted apart. It seemed like everything we knew was falling apart.
During this time of chaos, many were ravaged, but there were those who refused to let the chaos defeat them. Our family was one of them. We came together as a family, supporting one another, and even reaching out to distant relatives who were not related by blood. We all sat down at the table and made a plan to become the strongest family possible, one that could withstand any obstacle that came our way.
Our determination was unshakeable. We were determined to overcome any challenges that came our way and emerge even stronger than before. This day the name "Familia Menza di Diamanti" - The Family of The Diamond Table - symbolized our commitment to staying together through thick and thin. We knew we were unbreakable, like diamonds, and that we would always eat together, no matter what.
As the years pass, the Menza family will continue to grow in numbers and resilience. We will uphold our oath to stick together and support our community. We know we are destined to win, no matter what challenges come our way, and we believe that everyone has a little bit of Menza in them. The question is: Are you ready to join us at the table?
Remember, at Menza, everybody eats.
