Charming

My name is Vincenzo Porcu as my grandfather, Vincenzo Porcu, who owned two restaurants in Sardinia. I come from Sinnai, a small town in the mountains of Cagliari. I've been working in the restaurant business since I was 14.

The idea of visiting America first came to me when I was 22. Since then, I have been back and forth to NY many times until I decided to stay in LA, where I was able to have many work experiences. It was during a vacation in 2005 to Los Angeles, that ultimately persuaded me to make this my new home. I love Los Angeles and, in some ways, it reminds me of Sardinia. After working for a large family of restaurateurs, the Drago family, 4Sicilian brothers who have many places in this town, I decided to open my Carasau Sardinian Restaurant in Culver City.

Some of the best Italian food you'll have in LA. We had the beet fettuccine pesto pasta and a salmon pasta. Both were delicious. They also have a beautiful outdoor patio.

This was our second time at Carasau and I loved the shrimp linguini so much that I had to order it again! This time I was with 5 others who had different dishes and everybody was happy!How unusual is that? We also shared a small cheese pizza and I thought the flavor was great-one of the best I’ve had in recent memory. Definitely a lovely place with delicious food and excellent service. Our waitress was really trying to help out a vegan friend and very accommodating. We were a Happy group and the restaurant was packed on a Tuesday.

The food was great overall and so was the service. We asked for wine pairings with our dishes and our waiter gave spot on recommendations. The inferno spicy pizza was great and actually spicy! Highlight of our meal, we were pleasantly caught off guard. The Malloreddus pasta was underwhelming but still okay. The pollo al mattone was very tasty. The tiramisu was good too. Would come again if I’m in the area and craving Italian!

We went for lunch on Sunday afternoon. There was one big group and two tables with two people each. Yet, the service was very very poor. It was very loud and it was difficult to hear each other on our table. Food was OK.

Good was okay, ravioli portions are fairy small. There were only two other tables when we were there, food was prepared quickly and fresh but servers were slow. We requested lemons for our water and never received. We’re told an extra basket of bread was $3.50 but we were charged $6.00. Id certainly try other options before returning.
