We had an excellent dinner at Johnny Costa’s Italian Ristorante in Palm Springs.. We are a senior couple who drove to Palm Springs from the Southern California coast for a mini vacation. Wesley, our server, did an outstanding job when greeting us and at our table. My wife had minestrone and linguine with shrimp. I had mozzarella marina and linguine... more

Mr. Diamond Guy from Alabama claim in his posting on Trip Advisor that Jonny Costa's restaurant service was slow during lunch time. It appears Mr. Diamond in his rush to post negative comments against well know respected establishment for its tasty and fine Italian cuisine and excellent customer service, never took the time to check-out that this restaurant, in its... more

The place looks a little old school, but the food and the service was superb. I had the clam linguini and I practically licked my plate it was so good.

We enjoyed our meal, what sticks out in my mind is the marinara sauce. The calamari was delicious overall an enjoyable meal! more

Being from San Francisco, home of many excellent Italian restaurants, we found the food here to be very good in this traditional dinner house establishment. Generious portions, a reasonable value, a well-rounded menu, strong coffee, etc. were appreciated by us after the long day of golf and a tour of some casinos in town. The decor is rather dated and... more
