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.

    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.

    Really good spot in a lovely part of Culver City. Also great if you are going to the Kirk Douglas Theatre. Great Italian food with a Sardinian flare.

    Food was good. I took some colleagues and a client there for lunch and everyone was pleased. Easy parking in the public lot not too far away. Otherwise, street parking is difficult to find.
