In the movie, "The Godfather", who said, "Tu patri pensa all'antica"?

If that means what I think, it was said by Solozzo the Turk, when talking to Michael.
I THINK it some something to the effect that Michael's father (Vito) thinks like an old (ancient) man or in the old way, manner.

Of course, with my limited, almost non-existent knowledge of Sicilian, he could also be saying that the veal taste like a shoe, but the Irish cop won't taste the difference.

Dorian, you, basically, nailed it! Wink The quote's translation is: "Your father is old fashioned." (Precise translation, courtesy of juanruiz.)
