Total gem! Saw a sign that said Billiardo on our way to dinner. The actual billiard was in the very…read moreback of the alley way. We decided to check it out after dinner. No one was there,which at first made my husband and I question the whole situation. The tables were very nice and brand new, the pool sticks were super high end. We had 4 alcoholic drinks and they gave us peanuts and olives. I kept telling my husband it was going to cost so much because everything was so nice. To our surprise it only cost $10 euro for over an hour of pool and $6 euro for all 4 drinks! We only have 2 more nights here but will defiantly return before we head to Florence. I can't believe we had this place all to ourselves! We will be getting our drink on here.

The Village is a shopping mall type complex in the Parco de Medici area, combining several…read moreestablishments under the same roof, including the Space Cinema movie theaters and a gaming arcade the Joy Village, several fast-casual and fast food restaurants like Jack Bullet burgers, Arthurland pub, That's Amore pizza, Sushi Koi Parco de Medici, a hobby and model shop Palazzoli Modellismo, a Mondadori bookstore, and a bunch of others, plus a business office park nearby. There is plenty of parking available usually on the surrounding lots, which look deserted most of the time, especially in the off peak show times. The nearest hotel complex is Sheraton, consisting of three large buildings scattered around the golf course area. There are also several other chains not far away, Holiday Inn and Marriott Park compounds included, each of which has its own on-site restaurant and other amenities. The entire area is about forty minutes away from the historical center of Rome, Centro Storico. Most hotels run shuttle service at a reasonable price. A taxi ride to the city center or the other way to the Fiumicino airport should cost you €30. Stazione Muratella is the nearest train station. The Village looks and feels to me like it's stuck in the 70s or 80s, in a way, giving an older development vibe. At the same time, I'm just glad that it's here and available to grab a quick bite or some window shopping when your time allows. Otherwise, there would only be an office park and a golf course, plus some residential condo towers, dating back to the same timeframe in their development - doesn't look like it's been updated much since then.
