Awesomely acted by everyone in that scene
The film has some of the best acting, top to bottom, ever. One of the reasons it is so highly regarded.
I mean, mafia stories tend to get silly - and Godfather is not exception - the problem is the larger than life characters are based on real people who were, themselves, larger than life and somewhat silly, out of context.
Anytime a filmed version nails the environment in a meaningful way - without drifting into parody or satire, that product is going to have staying power. These films (minus 3), Scorcese's Goodfellas and Casino, and The Sopranos are the top tier examples of this.
