    Host was flexible in seating request. They had excellent gnocchi, good meat dishes, though special was more expensive than expected (should have asked price), and dessert was good, but not a souffle as listed by the waiter, more of a chocolate lava cake. Very busy, so fairly loud environment and slow service. Small, but nice bar at entrance.
