Johnny Costa's Ristorante
Italian · Pizza · Palm Springs, CA
About
A lively Monday evening crowd says it all: Johnny Costa's Ristorante is a local staple. This family-run Italian spot opened in 1976 by chef Johnny Costa, who once cooked at the Sinatra estate. Today his son Vince and three brothers keep the tradition alive. The Alaskan halibut filet done Sicilian style with tomatoes and olives is a frequent standout. You'll find fresh seafood, veal, steaks, and pasta here.
The restaurant has a full bar and offers a happy hour. It's dog-friendly with outdoor seating. Reservations are accepted. Prices are moderate, so you can enjoy a relaxed dinner without breaking the bank. If you're in the mood for something different afterward, LuLu California Bistro is a nearby option for a change of pace.

“Our new find”
We discovered this restaurant because of the A Taste Of Palm Springs event, and it was a great find. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. The waiter gave us excellent attention and helped us pick our meals. The Alaskan Halibut filet prepared in a style with tomatoes and olives was cooked perfectly. The place was lively even on a Monday evening.
