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. Voted Best Italian by Palm Springs Life Readers! Johnny’s son, Head Chef Vince Costa and his cousin General Manager, Sal Illiano continue the family tradition, perfectly executing the family recipes and delighting customers with a dining experience that is amazing. His brothers John Jr, Tony, cousin Chip and Vince’s sons Giovanni and Vincenzo assist running the restaurant. Celebrities and locals love the Johnny Costa experience and you will too!

A Palm Springs dining tradition celebrating 50 years 🍝🇮🇹

We visited Johnny Costa’s, a family tradition in Palm Springs since 1976, as they celebrate their 50th anniversary this year. It was lovely to experience a restaurant with such a long history in the community and a menu rooted in classic Italian favourites. Here’s to 50 years of memories and many more to come! 🥂
