The big 4-0 never looked better.

Gwen Stefani celebrated the advent of her fourth decade with friends and family at an intimate Saturday afternoon gathering at Cecconi's in West Hollywood.

The ab-flaunting singer donned her signature red lipstick as she dined inside of the Italian restaurant with hubby Gavin Rossdale, sons Zuma and Kingston, BFF to the stars Kate Beckinsale and the actress' husband, director Len Wiseman.

"There wasn't much gift-giving, but they did bring in a large bouquet of red roses, and as they were leaving, they stuffed some Mylar balloons in the backseat," an eyewitness told E!.

"They are such a class act. They were so gracious with all of the photographers, and Gavin was even joking around, waving, and taking pictures on his iPhone as they left," says the source. "I think they chose to have the party in the afternoon because the kids were there."

In spite of the party time, one partygoer was too tired for additional festivities. Little Zuma was spotted snoozing in his car seat next to the birthday girl as the family rode away in their black Range Rover.
