“ Second time dining here. Impressive authentic-style Italian with an amazing selection of cocktails and nice wines. Very reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in the area. Better cicchetti than Venice itself. Loved the Rigatoni pasta with nduja. Super friendly staff and nice vibes. Great place to bring my Italian friends when they visit or when us expats are craving good Italian. Will be back. ”
“ Outstanding! Literally walked in off the street looking for a place to work for a bit and get a bite of food and this place exceeded all expectations. From the hip European vibe to the put of this world open faced cichettis and fantastic americano, definitely will be coming back. Come for a coffee with your laptop or evening drinks and bites with your coolest friends. Whatever the occasion, Bacan can deliver! ”
“ Great vibes, attentive service and delicious food. Sat down for dinner at 7pm the night before Thanksgiving so the restaurant was quiet. The dishes are small and meant for sharing. We ordered a decent amount and were stuffed. We will definitely be back to order the other half of the menu! ”
“ Amazing food and the friendliest staff! They made great recommendations for my partner (vegetarian) and me (the omnivore). The wine by the glass selection is incredible too - they were nice enough to let us try a little bit of each as a little tasting! Make sure to save room for dessert. ”
“ Had the best meal here 2 weekends in a row! The spicy vodka sauce is hands down the BEST vodka sauce I’ve ever had (and it’s my favorite sauce so I get it a lot). The pesto was similarly fantastic - so herbaceous and fresh! The eggplant parm was mind blowing and also the best my partner and I have ever had, and he orders it everywhere! We loved that it wasn’t fried. It just melted in our mouths, and the marinara sauce was so flavorful! The chicory salad, tiramisu, and cocktails were similarly on point. The service was incredible both times! I had jaw surgery a few weeks ago and am on a “no chew” diet so I requested my pasta be overcooked, and both times they were so accommodating and also checked in to make sure it came out good for me. Tonight the new manager, Luis, noticed me massaging my jaw and asked if I wanted ice to apply to my face. So incredibly thoughtful! Bacan has earned its place on our favorites list! ”
“ We went in on a Sunday night without a reservation and were able to get a table for 2 immediately. The cocktails that I tried were all delicious and we just split a Caesar salad with added anchovies. I cannot comment on the pasta and I know this area of Williamsburg is loaded with Italian restaurants so there is a lot of competition but I can’t wait to come back for a full meal sometime. The service was super attentive and the restaurant was not very busy at all. The price was fair for how good everything was. ”
“ Tried most of the small bites and loved them allThe special tuna sandwich was awesome and the pasta was a star! And the finale with tiramisu was the cherry on top– we literally left no crumbs. Plus, the music and vibe of the place? Nailed it! ”
“ Came here on a Tuesday afternoon at 4pm and it was empty! Love the ambience / decor. Their salads are very fresh and delicious. ”
