Wow. I have no explanation as to why I had never seen this until the other day. Joe Pesci as the normal one? Languorous shot lengths perfectly communicating lazy summer days? Incredible! I would argue that by making all the domestic scenes generally chaotic and abrasive (and depicting this as stereotypically Italian-American), De Niro's dangerousness was made less emphatic. I am still dumbfounded by his performance. It took me several minutes to be convinced it was actually Robert De Niro!
