Honestly, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! This was THE worst lunch (meal) we had in Italy. McDonald's is 1000x better and I refuse to eat there!! The choices are incredibly limited, the quality is suspicious at best, and the food was served cold. My poor children did not enjoy their meal at all and I will now go and try to find something for them to eat as soon as we leave the Vatican. It's really a shame as it could have been a wonderful end and break to our visit instead of adding to the frustration of having had to have beat out crowds for the past 3 hours.

Please do not book this
If you paid for what was on offer on the day it is cheaper and you would get more choice basically told it was fish or chicken with rice or cauliflower
No choice in drinks either
Worst lunch had for years

Paid extra for what I hoped would be an enjoyable lunch. In fact it was cafeteria style slop which was mediocre at best. Added to which, being served on paper plates / bowls the whole experience was awful value for money.
This ticket was the only way we could secure a tour of the Vatican museums but I would strongly recommend other options without lunch if available.

Pros - The beauty of the lunch ticket is that you can come AT YOUR LEISURE, any hour you like. If your lunch slot is 2 PM, you can enter the museum when it opens. This is incredible flexibility for those who are coming straight from a flight or train and you are not quite certain when you may set foot in the Vatican. We purchased this only because regular tickets were sold out, but with the free lunch and flexible entrance, this is well worth it.
Cons - The cafeteria is impossible to find and no staff members know where it is, or rather they think they know where it is and you end up on a wild goose chase up and down the stairs for almost half an hour. There are multiple eateries, the only staff that really knows where it are the employees at the restaurant in the center of the courtyard. The directions to find the cafeteria where you redeem your voucher is: Enter the museum, go up the spiral steps or escalator. Walk up towards the windows, you will pass the bookstore will be to your right. To your left is the entrance to the museum and the courtyard with the pinecone. To your right, go down a set of new stairs towards the cafeteria or the exit and bathrooms. The cafeteria is a food court set up, you can only redeem your voucher at one of the cashiers. There will be signs to the cashier where you redeem your voucher.
The process was incredibly confusing on what items you were entitled to. Get the pasta and vegetarian rice dish, water bottles chips and fruit. It's edible.

I booked just the entrance ticket with lunch thinking that it would save me time and shoe leather trying to find a free seat at a restaurant at a potentially busy moment. I am so glad that I made that decision. There is nothing wrong with the cafeteria meal, and I am a vegetarian so choice was very limited. But I had tomato and fresh basil pasta, a huge salad, fruit, (could have had yoghurt)...was stuffed. OK maybe it wasn´t worth 18 euros, but to save the hassle and uncertainty after all that walking. If you want to sit on a bench in the sun, after lunch, that is also on offer.
