La Cucina

by Nadine on September 4, 2010

1/59-65 Gerrale Street, Cronulla (9523 4450).
Tuesday to Sunday night and Sunday lunch.

When you don’t feel like cooking but don’t want to fork out a fortune for a mid week dinner, where do you go in Cronulla? La Cucina!

I have been meaning to visit this restaurant for months, it has probably been at least 12 months since it opened? Three of us chose the $35, 3 course meal. It was a Thursday night but apparently they offer this every night of week!

Bruschetta with ricotta, tomato and pesto with chilli aoli, pork and sage wrapped in prosciutto and gelato! There are a couple of mains where you pay an extra few dollars and you can have the 3 course special but really it is an extensive menu and great value. The pork main was especially divine. To top it all off, the restaurant is BYO wine! I think I might book a standing mid week reservation!

The Inception of Scott Pilgrim?

September 2, 2010

Two movies in the one review? Yet another world first… sort of… Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I really didn’t think Inception deserved all the hype that surrounded its initial release.  Conceptually, the film is brilliant. It follows Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) as he blurs the boundaries between the dreamscape and realty to [...]

Unconditional exchange, Section 66w Certificate and Cool Off Exchange

August 25, 2010

A draft section 66w certificate is automatically included in any auction contract. Essentially a section 66w certificate means the buyer is waiving his/her right to a cool off period. This means that on auction day, once the auctioneer knocks the gavel down, contracts are exchanged, 10% deposit is paid and the buyer can not pull [...]

Mundo Tapas Bar – Rydges Cronulla

August 24, 2010

I don’t go out in Cronulla too often. I find Northies to be an awkward place and I refuse to venture to Fusion with any remote hint of sobriety. Spargo’s has been shut down (not that it was any good) and 2230 is small and not a great scene for a mid 20yr old guy. [...]

Media Hype vs the Facts – Is this a real estate bubble?

August 23, 2010

In December 2008, Bernie Madoff owned up to having defrauded his ethnic mates of billions of US dollars using a “Ponzi Scheme”. He took in investment money and paid high returns consistently over many years to all of his investors. One analyst told the market and even the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US [...]

Can an auctioneer knock back my bid?

August 18, 2010

In short, yes! Part 10 of our Auction series continues this week with a look at an auctioneer’s ability to refuse bids. One of the conditions of sale by auction is that “the auctioneer may refuse to accept a bid that, in the auctioneer’s opinion, is not in the best interest of the seller”. This [...]

Putting Commonwealth Debt in Perspective

August 16, 2010

The liberal election campaign is, to a large extent, based on the fact that the Rudd-Gillard Government is borrowing $100million every single day. In actual fact if you average out Labor’s budget shortfall over the 1000 or so days it has been in power, the figure is much higher. Currently however it is slowing down [...]
