Johnny Costas Ristorante

This Italian mainstay is conveniently located right downtown so it's ideal when you stay in any of Acme's Palm Springs rentals. The menu notes that, "Everything is prepared fresh to order—so it may take a little longer on busy nights, for that we apologize for the wait." But while you wait for your entrée—choose from a great variety of steak, veal, chicken, and seafood, plus a huge selection of pastas—you can imagine the old days when Frank Sinatra was a regular here. He and Johnny met in Hollywood and continued their friendship in the desert. So it's not by chance that you can order Steak Sinatra. Or maybe try Sinatra's favorite dish: Linguini with Clams.
