From the classic Italian music to the candlelit tables, the nostalgic atmosphere at Johnny Costa’s Ristorante feels like traveling back to midcentury times. It’s no wonder Frank Sinatra was once a regular at this fine Italian restaurant, which has been honored by Palm Springs Life as best Italian restaurant for 10 consecutive years. 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 classic cioppino. Open for dinner at 5 p.m. Closed Sunday & Monday

Overall a wonderful experience to celebrate an anniversary and a birthday. Food was tasty and well-priced. The one-star downgrade was for them being out of the lobster ravioli after being told everything was available. Not a huge issue but left disappointed. Also, my Old Fashion was lackluster at best. Really not big issues here but felt a restaurant of this quality and prestige was worth of higher standards. Would 100% go back!
