About Century Billiards & Game Room The Grimaldi Family arrived in New York City in 1896 already established in the pool table business from Salerno, Italy. With a combination of hard work, determination, and great pride, the family skills were passed down from Pasquale Grimaldi for five generations here in America. For over 100 years, we have continued the family tradition of unmatched excellence in cabinetry, leatherwork, upholstery, along with all forms of reconditioning service and repair work. Over the years our name and reputation have become synonymous with excellence in old world craftsmanship. “It was never Grandpa’s aim to be the biggest…. just to be recognized as the best!” We have continued the tradition to build custom pool tables and restore antique pool tables with a full service and repair shop. Still to this day, we have not compromised our high standards of both quality and integrity.
