Figurines, statues and photos line every inch of the place in an homage to his legacy. The Godfather and Scar Face get the lions share of the focus, both of which inspire dishes on the menu. The Godfather, for example, is a massive fried breakfast with all the trimmings.
Cafe Pacino has to be seen to be appreciated. However, I reckon the place could go even further if it wanted to. As well as all of the memorabilia, they could also have a rule that the waiters and waitresses only speak if they are either putting on an Al Pacino accent or if they are directly quoting from one of his classic roles. Me: "Do you have any ketchup?", Waiter: "Hoo-ahhh!". Me: "£1.50 for a cup of tea, that's a bit steep!", Waiter: "It's not personal, sonny. It's strictly business.". Me: "Hey, can i get the bill?", Waiter: "Say hello to my little fried."
