Villa Europa – Augusta’s culinary gem, where four generations of family dedication and European flavors continue to delight the community. Founded in the 1970s by Anneliese, the pioneering matriarch, the restaurant has become a cherished staple. Her daughters, Pat and Peggy, carried on her legacy—Pat as co-owner until her passing in 2019, and Peggy, who managed the books before stepping fully into her sister’s role, ensuring the restaurant’s success.
The legacy lives on through Anneliese’s grandchildren, each contributing to the restaurant’s continued success. Peggy and Annalise—affectionately known as Omi—manage daily operations, from the kitchen to the dining room. At 86 years old, Omi still works every day, ensuring every dish reflects the same care and tradition that began over 50 years ago. Their dedication keeps Villa Europa a place where generations gather to share meals and memories.
At Villa Europa, guests aren’t just customers, they’re family. The restaurant has been part of countless milestones, celebrations, and traditions, embracing the community with open arms. Help keep this local legacy alive, visit Villa Europa, enjoy a meal, and tell your friends about this Augusta treasure. Your support ensures future generations can continue to experience the warmth, history, and flavors that have made Villa Europa a beloved institution for over five decades.
