Paggi House

Nestled under sheltering oaks on a gentle rise overlooking the Colorado River, the Paggi House occupies one of the three oldest surviving homes in Travis County. The original structure was a pre-Civil War plantation house and later the home of a prominent 19th-century Austin businessman, Michael Paggi. Today, the charming brick cottage is home to a small, romantic restaurant serving an eclectic mix of continental and American regional dishes. Choose to dine on the comfortable enclosed patio or in one of the tastefully appointed dining rooms. Full bar and professional service.
