Experience Italy without leaving Williamsburg at Bacàn (79 Grand St.), an Italian bistro and bar that opened a few months ago in the neighborhood. The restaurant aims for guests to feel transported to Venice through the food, design, and ambiance. 

The restaurant’s interior is inviting with small decadent details that escalate the experience. There is a cozy corner for two near the bar, a beautiful larger table on the opposite end for a group, and several well-spaced tables in between. Though the walls are dark, there is greenery throughout the space and globe lights that make the restaurant feel modern, warm and welcoming.
