From the classic Italian music to the candlelit tables, the nostalgic atmosphere at Johnny Costa’s Ristorante feels like traveling back to midcentury times. It’s no wonder Frank Sinatra was once a regular at this fine Italian restaurant, where his favorite juicy steak and clam dish are named in his honor. The Costa family continues the legacy of late chef-owner Johnny Costa, who was pals with Sinatra when he moved to Hollywood from New York in the 1960s, and a decade later served as the singer’s personal chef at his desert home. Costa’s pedigree lives on in his legendary recipes, including his veal saltimbocca and classic cioppino.

What Guests Have Said
Johnny Costa’s is my favorite upscale restaurant in Palm Springs. The food is always fantastic, service excellent, and they have a great wine list. Among the favorite dishes my husband and I have had are the Angel Hair Shrimp Pomodoro, Linguini with Clams, Steak Sinatra, Lasagna, and Ravioli.

Johnny Costa’s is one of the few Italian restaurants in the area that serves fresh homemade dishes including pasta and their well known brick oven pizza’s. All dinners are cooked to order so don’t expect a fast service meal. The entire staff is very attentive. This is a great place for a night out or a special occasion. Best Italian in the Desert!!

I have traveled to 46 of the 50 states. I have eaten at Italian restaurants in all cities from large to small and I would say this is one of my top favorites of all time.
