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

    Our experience was amazing as soon as we walked in the door we were met by Ashley, the hostess, who was so warm and friendly and accommodating. And then we proceeded to our fabulous booth for dinner for three and were serviced by Nikki the waiter, who was just a 10 out of 10. Service was great. The food was wonderful and the ambience was delightful.

    The three main dishes we had (duck, tofu and short ribs) were all absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Our server Carlos was helpful about menu choices, attentive and friendly (all the table servers/runners were attentive), making the evening even more delightful. We love the patios at Copleys — which deserve a 5 — we just weren’t in the best location this time. Always worth a visit
