It was our first time visiting a Spanish restaurant. We weren’t sure what to order, so we decided to go with the Deluxe Package. It was my wife’s birthday, and I wanted to do something a bit special for her. I’d been meaning to try Spanish cuisine for the past two years, but not knowing much about the food made me hesitate.
Once we arrived, the passionate and vibrant Spanish-style interior really stood out. The customer service was excellent — definitely one of the highlights of our experience. As for the food, everything we had was enjoyable and didn’t disappoint. We ate to our hearts’ content, and even the kids loved it.
One particularly nice touch was the birthday surprise — they placed a balloon on our table with a birthday message, which left a great impression.
If I had to point out a downside, it would be the long wait between the entrée and the main course. By the time the mains arrived, we were already quite full, which slightly lowered our excitement for the next dishes.
A tip for anyone reading this review: the restaurant offers daily specials, so it’s worth checking those in advance to get the best value and taste. Also, once you're done with your entrée, asking for the mains to come out (maybe even reminding them twice) could make the whole experience even more satisfying.

Came here after a friend recommended it, and it was a great pick! Lol Cucina has a relaxed, beachy vibe that instantly reminded me of coastal shacks—super chill and inviting.
We tried a few dishes and most of them were hits. The lamb skewers were tender and flavourful, the garlic bread was surprisingly good, and the cod fish croquettes were crispy and delicious. The paella was generous in portion and great for sharing. The only miss for me was the crispy pork belly—not quite to my taste.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge since there’s limited free parking nearby, but we found a paid parking building just behind the restaurant which made things easier.
Would love to come back for dinner and see how the ambiance is in the evening!

We tried the 1.5L traditional sangria, crispy eggplant and broccoli flowers. Extremely tasty but tiny portion sizes. Sangria was also average. Vibe and atmosphere was cozy and comforting. Male Asian server was extremely friendly and attentive. Full points for service. Would definitely go back to try out other dishes. I would also add that the restroom situation is a bit troublesome. The doors are designed poorly and close in a weird way making it almost impossible to fit in. If you are having 1.5L of drinks, this is something to consider. You should really fix the restrooms. Maybe have the doors opening the other way around.

Couple days late, but took my wife out to dinner for her Birthday. Spanish was the request, and while a bit of a drive, this place in Parramatta seemed like a brilliant option.
The vibe in here is fantastic. Love the paintings on the walls. The staff were also all super helpful. It seems like they all enjoy working here, which adds to the vibe.
The food was also all super delicious. The tapas octopus (super tender), fried sardines, and garlic prawns were awesome. Following this with a seafood paella made sure that everyone was full by the end.
A great night out. 😁👌🎉

It was a delightful experience. The vibe of the place is fantastic—warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal or a lively evening out. The food was excellent, with authentic Spanish flavors that truly impressed me. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious.
However, the service could use a little improvement. While the waitress was polite, there were moments when attention to detail was lacking, and it took a while to get our requests fulfilled.
That said, I’d still recommend this restaurant for its amazing ambiance and top-notch cuisine. With a bit more refinement in the service, it could be perfect!
