Provided by SuperpagesExcellent food, service, atmosphere. All staff are very attentive, Sonny is my favorite. Live in L.A. and have driven out several times for the dining experience. Eat there every time I'm in the desert area. Younever have a better meal. I recommend it to everyone I know.

- General Info
- From the classic Italian music to the candlelit tables, the nostalgic atmosphere at Johnny Costa’s Ristorante feels like traveling back to mid-century times. It’s no wonder Frank Sinatra was once a regular at this fine Italian restaurant, where his favorite juicy steak & clam dish are named in his honor. The Costa family continue the legacy of late chef-owner Johnny Costa, who was pals with Sinatra when he moved to Hollywood from New York in the 1960s, 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 & classic cioppino. Voted Best Italian by Palm Springs Life Readers! Johnny’s son, Head Chef Vince Costa & his cousin General Manager, Sal Illiano continue the family tradition, perfectly executing the family recipes and delighting customers with an amazing dining experience. His brothers John Jr, Tony, cousin Chip & Vince’s sons Giovanni & Vincenzo assist running the restaurant.From the classic Italian music to the candlelit tables, the nostalgic atmosphere at Johnny Costa’s Ristorante feels like traveling back to mid-century times.
