Johnny Costa's - Palm Springs

Im going to keep this simple. Beautiful restaurant. Awesome service. Amazing food.

Walked in on Christmas Eve without a reservation on an off chance we might get a table. They went out of their way to get us seated. Just amazing. This was seriously some of the best Italian food that we have had this side Italy. Our server Ferial was outstanding and accommodated our every request with a pleasant smile. Well done JC’s. Bravo!!

The food was excellent as always. But the prices have increased significantly from 2019. I understand the inflation issues affecting small businesses but to charge $18 for a Manhattan is gauging. I know the ingredients they use and the costs; I use the same at home to make my drink. I’ll skip the alcohol next time.

After seeing other reviews, I was very disappointed. The minestrone soup tasted like it was out of a can. 2 small slices of bread were brought to the table that were not replenished. Service was slow, but not terrible. The side of angle hair pasta was overcooked. The chicken, pounded thin, just lacked flavor. Nothing was awful, but nothing was good. I'd say the lower side of average.

Here! THEE BEST Italian food in the valley. I'm not kidding. Ferial Sarah are AMAZING. Give the girl a raise. The food here is INSANE! Amazing! We are literally blown away from the quality of service and food. Everything from the appetizers to their drinks cannot even be compared. Ron had the calf Parmesan, who was absolutely phenomenal. He is probably the most picky eater in the world. I had the sausage and penne and it was dying. We're coming back!
