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.

    The atmosphere is fine, not too packed or noisy just basic. But the food is some of the best Thai I’ve ever had, consistently delicious, good portions and reasonably priced.

    It was really packed so our waitress, who was very kind and friendly, was as attentive as she could be. The noise level was high but not too high that we couldn’t hold a conversation. Checking in for my reservation was a little frustrating when I was told I was 5 minutes early for my reservation so I would have to wait b4 they could seat me. They sat me about 10 minutes later. I would have rather they said we are working on your table now.
