Johnny Costa's is the best Italian restaurant in the desert. The shrimp fettuccine is so tasty and creamy. Their calamari is... very crispy and service is always top notch. Read more

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

Excellent dinner! Great service, terrific meal and nice setting.

This restaurant is awesome!! Excellent foods and service. I highly recommend! We ordered gluten free pasta and was great. If you... are not told that gluten free you wouldn’t notice. Desert was delicious too. Everything we ordered was wonderful. Thank youJohn for taking care of our table. You made us happy and great night. We definitely come back! Read more

STOP RIGHT HERE!! THEE BEST Italian food in the valley. I’m not kidding. Ferial & Sarah are AMAZING. Give these girls a... raise. The food here is INSANE! Amazing! We are literally blown away by the quality of the service and food. Everything fromthe appetizers to their drinks can’t even be compared. Ron had the veal Parmesan that was absolutely phenomenal. He isprobably the most picky eater in the entire world. I had the sausage and penne and it was to die for. We are coming back! Read more

This place had a very nice modern decor and the food was delicious! The crowd was fodder for stories. It was a scene man. We... laughed quite a bit, delighted by all that was going on around us. Some of the locals are wacky and wonderful. Our server Weswas lovely. He has a great palette and recommended a beautiful Chianti. We had the veal picatta which was classic and perfectlyprepared and seasoned. I had the eggplant parmasan, which was lovely. The homemade sauce was very layered in flavors andyummy. We knew when we were asked if we'd like anchovies with our Caesar salad that this was going to be the real deal. ???? And it was appropriately served on a chilled plate. We had a difficult time finding decent restaurants in this town,surprisingly. Lots of diner-type foods being passed off as fine dining with either bland prep or way too much going on. ButJohnny Costa's hit all the right marks. Would love to come back and try more of the menu. Next trip! Read more

Update - 3rd time there and my review below still stands! 2nd time in and still amazing and delicious. Staff is extremely... friendly and helpful and it gives us a family feeling. The food is extra good, I would recommend the caprese to start andfollowed by the steak Sinatra or the shrimp pasta. You can’t say no to the tiramisu! Totally recommend! Read more
