Would not go back, food OK 2 beers 2 sandwiches, 2 espresso and a gilati for 92eur. It does include free wifi allowing me to write this review. They tell everyone that credit card machine is down but when you say no cash then all of a sudden it works.

Having spent a very busy few hours touring the Vatican Museum we found this self service restaurant at the end of our visit to the Sistine Chapel and needed to grab some food and drink. Rather than go outside the museum we decided to grab a pizza slice and drink at the fast food section. The staff were quite brash... More

Food service, in case of most museums, is a poorly executed afterthought. If objective is quick fuel up and optimize time in Vatican to see exhibits, Sistine Chapel ceiling and Saint Peter's Basilica before being shepherded promptly off premises at closing time, then dine in Museum! Recommend: Bump up to twenty euro menu options for better options. Hurry down to... More

I went into the self service restaurant in the Vatican Museums yesterday and I can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences I have ever been subjected to. The staff were rude and unpleasant and the self service system is archaic. The food is very poor indeed and overpriced for the quality. The Vatican should take responsibility for... More

I gave this two circles because of a complete lack of ambience. I had a large and good salad with greens, tuna, egg, corn, tomato and more that I can't remember at the self-service. Small bottles of wine were available, in addition to soft drinks and water. (I seem to recall that the coffee was from a push-button machine.) I... More

My husband and I had limited time in Rome and spent most of the day visiting the Vatican. We didn't have time to enjoy one of Rome's lovely restaurants so we ate quickly at the Vatican. The pasta was so greasy! My husband had a meat dish that was ok. By far the worst food we had in Italy!

After a long morning at the Vatican Museum, we stopped at the self-service/ restaurant area in the Vatican for a quick toilet break and coffee. This does make a great place to stop and rest your feet. Not sure about the food as we've never eaten here but our recent coffee stop here left much to be desired. We ordered... More

If you compare this place where we was to eat something because very hungry and a bit late, with the typical restaurant in Italy you decide not to stop here anymore. Food is most of all prepared since long time ago, not express, and there are a lot of people.
