About us

we love to eat, create and cook

The origin of our name: creating experiences that become lasting memories

The name Relicario is born from the idea of preserving what we value most.
Relicaries were originally created to safeguard unique and meaningful objects—saints’ belongings, symbols of faith, or pieces of great emotional value—elements that evoke memories and special moments.

At Relicario Catering, we believe every celebration can also become a treasure.
When our clients trust us to create personalized gastronomic experiences, we become the space where new memories, flavors, and emotions are born. Each event, guided by our team of professional chefs, is thoughtfully designed to be unforgettable—a true reliquary of unique moments and artisanal cuisine, meant to be cherished forever.
