Johnny Costa's host an excellent Happy Hour Menu. Th elittle plates hold just the right amount as the temps rise here on the desert. Have a bug appetite - just orde rmore plates.

Johnny Costa understates how good the restaurant is by claiming "Best Italian Restaurant" by Palm Springs Life. This would be one of the best Italian Restaurants anywhere in the USA!

Large parking lot behind the restaurant. Small patio area for outdoor dining. Have eaten here about five times, most recently on April 19th. The food is consistently superb. Staff are warm, engaging and knowledgable about the menu. Our server, Debra, was extremely helpful and attentive. We have had the Fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti marinara, halibut, and salmon.

My minestrone was too die for as well as my shrimp Newport entree the sauces here are AMAZING! My husband had the sausage and pepper pasta and loved it! Can't wait to go back:)

The spaghetti and meatballs is among the best, and... More
