Napa - Casual Rehearsal Dinner

Hey, all!

We've been trying to find a place for a rehearsal dinner around Napa for about a month now, and haven't been able to locate something that fits the bill. Since we don't live there and have only visited once, we're having a very difficult time. Though I hate to so shamlessley request assistance, if anybody knows of a spot in or around Napa that covers what we're looking for, it would be supremely helpful.

We're looking for something on the inexpensive end, very casual and warm and friendly. It'll probably be a fairly large crowd (40ish), and we're trying to make for a fun, casual night where people can have some good food, mill about, meet people, chat and generally drink and be merry. We're definitely NOT looking for any kind of formal affair. If everybody grabs a seat and good pizzas and pastas start coming out of the kitchen, and everybody can grab some and move around, that's perfect. A good casual Italian joint seems like it'd be the most appropriate, but any ideas would be most helpful.

It sounds like Tra Vigne Pizzeria would have fit the bill, but they are, sadly, booked for the evening.

Any thoughts?

Copious thanks in advance...
