Price: Moderate

• Italian • Eltham

Prosciutto Bros. Craft Bar is a cozy spot with an 'amazing atmosphere', as per one review. With 'abundance of alcohol choices', 'modern vintage' decor, and 'friendly, helpful staff', it's a 'welcoming place'. The 'nice vibe' and 'great food' make it a 'nice catch up place' or a 'great place for an after work drink and pizza'. The 'live music' on Friday night adds to the fun, but the noise can be an issue for those looking for a quieter setting.

Food was amazing and cannot fault it at all! Service was rushed and a little abrupt. We were served our entrees before all our guests arrived. Told to start eating as there was more food coming. We felt rude starting before everyone arrived. Our waiter was rather abrupt and pushing alcohol on guests that were driving which I felt was irresponsible. He also was very in your face and put menus right in front of people's faces, not to mention talking at people rather than politely stepping in to ask guests a question.

We have been to Spensley's close to 10 times now over the past year! It is our favourite place to come for a relaxing and tasty meal. We bring all our visitors here (we are originally from the UK) to showcase one of the best restaurants we have found during our time in Melbourne. The food is spectacular for the value (feed me menu is always worth it!). We will be becoming back!
