   Villa Europa is a true hidden gem in Augusta. We don't live in the area anymore but make it a point to get there when we're in town. We have always had great service and food, whether we had two people dining or 10 (although you should definitely make a reservation for large parties!). The food is amazing. Schnitzel, German potato salad, brats, it's all fantastic! I finally saved enough room to try the desserts on my last visit - and the lemon berry mascarpone cake was heavenly. Highly recommend!

   I booked a large part of 17 for Mother's Day. We were seated within minutes of arrival. This was my first time dining here. At first glance the decor is DATED, dusty, dark, and reminded me of an old school Legion/VFW. Wooden wall paneling, carpet in desperate need of cleaning; I'd personally replace it as it looks original to the building, circa 1960 era. We were taken to the back of the restaurant to a party room sort of space that had NO CENTRAL A/C. There were water-cooled portable A/C units spaced across the room and try as their little hearts might..that room was as hot as backwoods Baptist Church back pew in an August Alabama heat wave. Several of my guests (1 of which was 9 months pregnant, 2 elderly women in the 80s and 1 in her 60s) had to step away to finda cooler space. Our drink orders were taken quickly, but not accurately. 2 of our lemonades didn't arrive until after main-courses arrived. There was only 1 server assigned to our large party and I hold that primarily accountable for the poor service notes. It was the end of a long holiday service and she should have had more assistance so things did not get missed. THE FOOD WAS PHENOMINAL. My family lived in Europe 20-22 and we agree the German menu is authentic. Because the atmosphere was less desirable both decor and temperature, we did not stick around long after the meal was finished. I found the prices VERY reasonable. I would have liked to try desserts, but again HOT AF at 8pm in our dining area. All things considered, I will be dining there again because the food speaks for itself, the server (all though exhausted) gave us her best effort, and truly I feel it is a hidden gem in the sketchy side of town. Please Villa Europa, relocate or redecorate. Your place needs a face lift and even the most homely places we visited in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland managed authentic German/European design without gaudy dated dusty fake plants and dark, dank paint and carpet. Bravo for keeping your menu great.

   Extremely Hot in the back room. We had reservations a week ahead and could have cooled the room. Needs some modern upgrades. steak overdone.

    Had St Patrick’s Day dinner. The Irish fare was really good. Corned beef possibly the best I’ve had. All our party had a wonder evening. The exterior especially the sign definitely needs sprucing up. I have driven passed it and thought it was closed like so many in that area. We’ll worth the trip!
    

    Villa EuropaResponded on March 26, 2023Glad you enjoyed. One day hopefully the sign amongst other things will float to the top of the priority list. Thanks for your feedback.

    The food was excellent, as always! They service was untypically rough! They were understaffed because someone didn't show up for work. The waitress did a good job picking up the slack and gave us pleasant service. We have been to Villa Europa many times over the years and certainly plan to go back!

    Our server Lee was very attentive & outstanding. The food was however terrible. The escargot was extremely salty & fishy. The shrimp fettuccine was very bland. The ranch dress tasted sour like it was going bad. The potato soup was gritty and was more a puréed texture. We won’t be back but again were very pleased with our server who did his very best.

    Kittys a terrible waitress. Medium well steak, came out medium rare (even had the plastic stake that says so). Had to ask for refills, never brought a requested water. I love Villa Europa, been going since it was Roman Villa. But nothing seemed very good last night, which is unusual. Hope it’s better next time.

    The food is always excellent! I do wish they would spend some money on building refresh or maintenance. The building is WAY behind on updates. It feels old and grundgy. The staff are always pleasant and efficient. The food always excellent! Or else we wouldn't bother to drive across town

    A little disappointed that we were celebrating my husband's birthday and other than the hostes wishing him a happy birthday it was not mentioned anymore. We were not even offered a dessert menu. I did say in my reservation that we were celebrating his birthday.

    The waitress was awesome! I went to Villa Europa for my birthday dinner with my mom and some friends. The waitress had a lot of experience with those bells, for sure. I probably didn’t look to enthused when she was playing the bells, but I had a rough morning because one of my pets unfortunately passed away. Overall, the experience was great!

    We have been eating at Villa Europa for almost 40 years -- we lived in Augusta (actually Columbia County) for 6 years in the 80's, and I've been back on business trips and personal trips many times. I'm delighted to report that Villa Europa is still as good as it ever was.

    Generally this place is awesome. Great atmosphere and the food is fantastic. The Escargot have always been the best in Augusta. Not tonight though. Sadley not only were they cold but one of the plates of Escargot did not have any seasoning or butter on it. While the waitress offered to take it back, we did not want to make any waves. But then we got our meals. My husband had the Jagersnitzel with the rich mushroom brown gravy . The sauce was beef broth. Beef broth1 We have ate this before and know the meal. I had the chicken fettuccini alfredo. Their homemade alfredo sauce is INCREDIBLE. I enjoyed that. But I did not enjoy the massive amount of paprika over the entire dish. We had to ask the waitress if the restaurant was under new management, but the food was terrible. I know that if the owner was here, they would never have let this meal go out. Will we be back? YES! One bad meal will not keep us from coming. I just hope their wonderful Escargot are back to normal next time. :) Even though a rating of 3, I would still recommend this to anyone.
