Good, solid Venetian food, served up in a friendly manner at not too bad a cost.

This restaurant is located just a stone's throw off of Campo San Barnaba in Dorsoduro, which is a very pleasant, not too touristy section of Venice. While most of the folks in the restaurant were not locals, the place had a local feel, and certainly did not feel like one of the tourist traps near Piazza San Marco or along the Grand Canal near the Rialto Bridge. Casin has interior rooms,and a bar, as well as an enclosed terrazza with funky art hanging on the brick walls enclosing the courtyard. We ate on the terrazza on a beautiful clear evening in September. The place was packed. You definitely need reservations if you want the terrace.

Good fish dishes abounded on the night we were there, including a really good monkfish dish, as well as an excellent sole. We picked out a Valpolicella at a reasonable price to accompany our meal. Our servers were very friendly and accommodating young women, who went out of their way to be helpful in explaining how some of the dishes were prepared. All in all, a very good place to go to in Venice. Total cost for four of us, including one bottle of wine, water and coperto, in US dollars was $182, or about $45 per person. Not bad, considering that this is Venice we are talking about.
