Serrgio Cesena’s culinary journey began with a single fennel bulb. When his chef introduced him to it and explained its story, it transformed his perspective on cooking from a job into an adventure. That moment shaped Serrgio’s direct and curious approach in the kitchen, inspiring him to keep learning, experimenting, and sharing. 

At Theo’s Fayetteville, Serggio brings that same sense of discovery to his team and guests. He loves sharing the experiences he’s had with food and seeing every dish as an opportunity to connect. His passion for food is matched by his passion for people. “I cook my best food when I cook for those I care about..” He strives to make each dining experience at Theo’s feel memorable, personal and full of connection.
