We provide everything you need to host a The Godfather movie night party worthy of the Don himself, Vito Corleone, with these movie-inspired foods, activities, and decorations!
We love to watch The Godfather every year, and this year we did it up right — with a full on The Godfather Movie Night Party including Clemenza’s sauce and cannolis! It was so much fun, and all of it was relatively easy to do!
The menu is full of The Godfather foods, but they would also work with other mafia-style movies like Casino or Goodfellas.
Drinks in the The Godfather
There are 3 main drinks the film — scotch, red wine, and white wine. So you could serve any of these! We personally like a sweet red wine out of Italy!
You also never want to serve a banana daiquiri unless you want to be a rat Fredo.
We also found it interesting that each type of drink correlates to a distinct role in the film. Scotch is a “man’s drink”; red wine a family drink; and white wine a party drink. (source)
Music
We played classic opera, 1920’s jazz, and the Rat Pack to create a unique atmosphere! Dean Martin, Jerry Vale, Louie Prima, Julius La Rosa, Rosemary Clooney, Connie Frances are all great choices.
We're providing everything you need to host a "The Godfather" movie night party worthy of the Don himself, Vito Corleone, with these movie-inspired foods, activities, and decorations! The food at a movie night is critical to its success! Therefore, we planned out a 3 course meal full of The Godfather's foods that is easy to throw together! (You could also serve fish, but we didn't want to send the wrong message). Clemenza's Sauce scene in The Godfather is iconic, and it actually tastes amazing!! For our Godfather movie night, we recreated his sauce recipe using tomatoes, sausages, and meatballs. It's perfect for a special night in or just a family dinner! We love the cannoli scene, and this easy cannoli dip is super easy to make! All you need is a couple of cheeses, mini chocolate chips and broken waffle cones for dipping. We made it within 5 minutes too! While the movie is the main event, you may also like to have a couple of activities planned if you're hosting a longer party. Test out who knows the most about the movies! The winner gets a horse head mask or soft plush cat (like Vito's). Both are linked below. Another option would be to play a card game together! We loved this themed one! The Mafia party game can also be a lot of fun! You'll brush up on your lying, bluffing, and deceitful virtues before watching the movie! We love the idea of doing a photo-booth for a movie night! It's something quick, affordable, and easy to do, and it shows you put a lot of thought into making it special! Okay...so this idea is a little out there, but so was the horse's head in the bed. Recreate the famous wedding day scene where the Don Corleone holds his cat in his lap and say, Now you come to me and say, 'Don Corleone, give me justice!' But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me 'Godfather'. Instead you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder. For money. Another great party-gift or coffee table book is The Corleone Family Cookbook. Depending on how fancy you and your guests want to get dressed up, we have a few The Godfather themed costumes and t-shirts!“The Godfather” Movie Night Party Ideas & Menu
