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). Revenge is a dish best served cold....and with cream cheese! These salami roll ups are perfect to enjoy as your guests arrive or as you're cooking your sauce! Plus, you only need 3 ingredients! 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.“The Godfather” Movie Night Party Menu

What to Do Before or After the Movie
We also have family movie night theme because “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man”.
