Christina Theofilos

Since 2019, Christina Theofilos has run Psomi in Tampa as chef-owner and sole operator, a setup that leaves the bakery and eatery shaped by a single set of decisions from prep to service. The work reads as Greek American cooking with restraint: familiar flavors adjusted, tradition kept active, and each plate finished with the kind of attention that comes from one person carrying the line. Psomi’s name signals the brief: something basic, sustaining, and central. That logic carries through the room and the menu, where Greek heritage is treated as a working reference point rather than a fixed display. Under Christina Theofilos, the place balances memory with Tampa’s pace and palate, giving Greek and American sensibilities room to meet without flattening either side.
