Executive Chef, Arturo Casillas

Executive Chef, Arturo Casillas began his career 23-years ago at Cuistot, in Palm Desert and made his first move onto the line at the pantry. Following his move to the hot line, Chef Arturo worked as Sous Chef at St. Germain where he honed his skills in both cuisine and leadership.

​His first step in the Executive Chef position came at La Quinta Grill where he stayed for the next five years. His vast experience with a variety of cuisines, styles and teams prepared him to lead our original restaurant Acqua Pazza kitchen to an amazing 10-year run of renowned success.

When LULU California Bistro first opened in 2011, everyone knew the menu would be wonderful, the food superb and the attention to detail would be incomparable. Today, our Executive Chef and his team continue to deliver the same quality, freshness and fabulous presentation. We’re proud to have  him  as part of our Acqua California Bistro team.
