NYC Restaurants

Ladies might want to stop in just for a chance to ogle hunky chef John Villa (he posed au naturel for Playgirl), but the guys will be happy with his Italian-oriented menu, which ranges from beef carpaccio to a muscular linguine with clams, pancetta and plenty of garlic to an authentic cioppino. Villa’s signature dish, however, is a roast suckling pig, and it’s extremely good. Just try not to make a pig of yourself.
