Summary
On the Hollywood Godfather podcast, Gianni and Jeanie talk with Dr. Daniel Conti III about Russo’s return to Goodfellas Restaurant/Doc Social Club in Garfield, New Jersey on March 26, including dinner, an expanded Q&A, meet-and-greet, and book signing for Russo’s Hollywood Godfather and Mafia Secrets; the $150 price includes tax and tip. Conti describes the intimate speakeasy-like upstairs venue, the themed restaurant rooms, and the menu highlights. He shares his father Dr. Daniel Conti Jr.’s path as a physician-actor who appeared in films connected to Joe Pesci, Frank Vincent, and Tommy DeVito, opened the restaurant in 1991, and maintained friendships that influenced casting stories around Raging Bull. They discuss Conti III continuing the family legacy while still practicing medicine, plus his monthly “Goodfellas to Godfellas” spiritual dinner (second Tuesday) and future events like movie nights and a mob murder mystery.
