The absolute best chicken parm sub. I haven't had a bad meal here and I doubt I ever will.

3 years living in Concord and just discovered VEANOs 4 months ago. SO GOOD! It's become a must have weekly dinner takeout favorite. The Chicken Parm dinner is so good, followed by Bessie Special and Chicken Cacciatore. With of course extra Garlic Bread. The Chicken Salad and Meatball Subs are also good. Happy to have found a new addition to our restaurant picks for consistently great quality food and positive, friendly service! read more

I can't review the Italian food here but the seafood is really good. My daughter and I stopped here today and we both enjoyed our meals quite a bit. I had haddock which I didn't get a picture of because I cut it in half and made it look not so pretty anymore and my daughter ordered clam strips. Both were very good, but I think the clams were a little better. Our waitress was really nice and very attentive, but not overly. She always stopped by at the right times and seemed to really enjoy her job. The restaurant is cozy and good for gatherings of small groups. The booths are quite comfy, too. Definitely will be back! read more

I have been going to Veano's since the 70s. I grew up in Concord and that was the place to go! The food is delicious and hasn't changed one bit. The best roast beef and onion rings anywhere! read more

We have been in twice for the pizza. There will not be a third visit. Hard crust and tasteless cheese, if it is indeed cheese. Service was fine both times. The interior is dated and can use a freshening. read more

I ordered a large cheese pizza for pickup. The pizza was overcooked. The crust was crispy and fell apart. The cheese was congealed in a big blob. I was surprised they sold it. It was disappointing because I have had other meals from there that were not good. Don't order a pizza. read more

We waited 31 minutes for a salad and a small pizza. I knew this restaurant was poor quality when I saw the flat wear: it is Walmart quality. When our food finally showed up, the ingredients on the pizza are canned, including the sauce! The crust is pre-made as well. The tuna salad is yucchhh! Worst leaves of luttuce head were used. The waitress was nice and professional. Mobile data on the phone doesn't work well here and there's no guest wifi. Don't waste your money here. read more

Did doordash and the person delivering told them i ordered a pizza but they said no and gave them everything else but. Then had a runaround as they wouldnt send me my pizza but said i had to call doordash to cancel and then reorder. So had a cold dinner and very poor restaurant service. Doordash was good though. Driver said they have had lots of issues with Veanos. read more

I've been a loyal customer at Veano's for 52 years, ever since I was 18 and would grab lunch there during my break, back when they were located across from the National Guard in Concord, NH. In all that time, I never once had a disappointing meal--until now. Since I don't get out as much anymore, I decided to order through DoorDash. I went with my usual: a roast beef sub (hands down the best roast beef around), with mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and provolone cheese. Nothing fancy, just the classics. What showed up was a disaster--an oily mess of roast beef swimming in grease, loaded with big chunks of onions and peppers I didn't ask for, a single sad piece of tomato stem, three tiny bits of diced pickle, no lettuce, no provolone, no mayo and a sub roll so drenched it was falling apart. I blotted the roast beef with paper towels until it was semi-edible and gave it to the dog; the rest went straight into the garbage disposal. I've only used DoorDash a few times and never had to complain before, so I didn't realize you need a photo for a refund--lesson learned, I suppose. But it'll be a cold day in hell before I give Veano's another shot. It breaks my heart. It feels like just one more thing slipping away as I move closer to the end. read more

ordered a roast beef, got an italian asked for a refund on the on the screw up (this was through doordash) a week later with no refund called veanos to see whats up. got this bs excuse that doordash charges 30% and he runs his ass around all day boo hoo. Dont treat the people who keep you in buisness like shit it will always back fire we would order like once or twice a month from these guys well not anymore read more

This place was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic from the moment we arrived to leaving. I got the Vegetable Lasagna and my husband got the Chicken Parmesan. They both came with a small side salad and garlic bread which didn't look like much but was so tasty. The food was the best Italian food I've had in 20 years. It was full of taste and it was steaming hot when it came out that I could see the smoke rising off my food. I wasn't very hungry upon going here but I managed to eat the whole thing as I couldn't waste even one bite. The waitress was very friendly and one of the best that we've had. I just wish I had room for dessert as they looked delicious and I'm sure they were. Upon leaving, my kid who was so disappointed that they didn't have Chicken Pot Pie due to it being seasonal was given 2 wrapped cookies as a consultation. I thought that was very sweet and they genuinely felt bad for him even though it wasn't their fault. I definitely recommend eating here! I wish I had a place like this where I live. read more

Decent food worst server I have ever had in any restaurant that I have ever eaten in. I'll have to think twice about returning

Great food! we've been going there forever, food is always good service is good. Love it here

Excellent hole-in-the-wall, old school, American-Italian restaurant. The pizza was excellent with a nice crispy crust and great sauce/toppings. Waitress was very friendly and prompt. Support these small, local spots! read more

Highly recommended. We had a home party for 40 people to be catered. We chose "Veanos" because it's one of my parents favorite restaurants. We wanted catering on a Sunday, a day they're closed. They opened their kitchen just for our event. The food was fabulous, we all agreed that we would happily use and recommend them for future events. My family visited this restaurant often at the original Concord location. read more

THE ANTICIPATED WAIT IS OVER!!!! After almost 2 years on hiatus, Veano's Italian Kitchen has finally reopened in a new location near the corner of US 3 and NH 106 in Pembroke, next door to the Meat House. The old location on Loudon Road in Concord is now a Walgreen's. Veano's opened for business in Pembroke on Saturday (December 19th) and the place has been very busy since. The phone has been ringing here for quite a while with many people asking when the place will open for business. It's NOW OPEN! Many of my coworkers are huge Veano's fanatics who are always raving about how great the food was. They used to take long lunches at Veano's by leaving work early (personal time) and spending the early afternoon enjoying the food with a few beers. My boss's favorite Veano's dish is the Chicken Parmesan over spaghetti. Veano's is owned and operated by the same family and is smaller than the original location in one open room with booth seating and table seating and the kitchen/food staging area is visible from the dining area, The menu offers Italian American fare including pasta dishes, pizza, seafood, kabobs, sandwiches, salads, soups, appetizers, desserts (from the display case) and more. The recipes and dishes are still the same. The lunch specials and daily specials are offered here, same as the original location. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This NEW REVIEW will be independent of an older review I wrote over two years ago since the original Veano's Italian Kitchen (Concord) no longer exists and the layout of this new restaurant is very different. I stopped in here for dinner immediately after work. The place was steadily busy on a cold Monday evening with dine-in and takeout customers. I was seated quickly and I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the Boneless Breast of Chicken Parmesan Special ($11.95) over spaghetti and served with salad or soup and bread. I started out with homemade Minestrone Soup, which was served hot with mixed vegetables, potatoes, and pasta in a sweet tomato broth. The bread (in a basket) was crusty outside and lightly buttered, though not served hot. The Chicken Parmesan entree was baked and served piping, a big and thick lightly breaded chicken breast over soft spaghetti and topped with melted cheese. The chicken was very tender and meat sauce was very good. I was going to order Bread Pudding for dessert, but it was not available yet (I will get it on my next visit). Overall, the food I had on this visit was very good and delish. The service was prompt and informative. Again, there is not as much seating as the old location and given Veano's popularity in the Concord area, there could be waits for seating. My coworkers should be very stoked that Veano's Italian Kitchen is back and the long afternoon Veano's lunches can resume again. NOTE: Beer & wine and pressure cooked chicken were not available at the time of this review, but should be available sometime next week. DISCOUNT: State workers can get a 10 percent discount at Veano's, just like at the original location. Just bring a picture ID. HOURS: Sun-Thurs: 11AM-9PM; Fri-Sat: 11AM-10PM read more

See all

If you like lamb, this is the place for you!!!! Both steak and cheese subs stunk and tasted like lamb! Disgusting for those of us who don't eat lamb!! Onion rings tastes like fish!! At home we opened boxes and remembered why we only got food from them once many years ago....gross! The 6 piece chicken all dark meat and swimming in oil...literally pockets of oil on the nasty dried out chicken...clearly NOT prepared well or drained properly!! Waste of $$ for dinner-never again. read more

We went yesterday Nov 1 2022..I thought the portions were large ,for the price,,excellently cooked..(Fish & Chips)...the Garlic bread was fresh,.The server was attentive and great.We brought home some very good Chicken Gumbo soup for supper ( was included with the meal)..a really good dining experience..seeing we only eat out once a month.. read more

Wife and I enjoyed are meal (eggplant parm and chicken with broccoli and mushrooms) and the service was excellent. We consider Veano's to be a good value based on quality, quantity and price. The atmosphere is casual and clean/well maintained. We'll look forward to another visit. read more

This review is long overdue. I have been coming here for awhile now once a week to get a certain lunch that I like. They have really delicious food. It is the only restaurant that reminds me of my favorite childhood restaurant, Cedar Crest (in Lawrence) which had food that I craved. They not only have delicious, home style food but the staff especially Denise the manager goes above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent experience. She takes pride in her job and takes it seriously. Her friendliness and professionalism show in all that she does. I will be coming here for many years to come and I recommend you visit as well. If you want yummy, home style food, it is the place to be. read more

Service is horribly slow!!! Kitchen right behind the service and our isn't that busy. Our server never paid any attention we placed our drink order, then she came back out without the drinks and wanted to take our food order without the drinks. Just very disappointed. I understand the food service industry to a hit BC of Covid but really train these servers on how to take care of their stations. I know they make a great Veal dinner but today I don't know. Won't be returning any time soon. read more

...this is Rural Italian at best, certainly not an italians italian restaurant. I need to be unbiased an honest. The gravy (sauce) bland and lacking zest of flavor like maybe avoid of garlic, or enough garlic for me. I saw or tasted nearly no italian herbs either in the sauce. Listen, full disclosure, I'm italian therefore I grade italian restaurants on a slightly altered scale. Not too harshly, just slightly biased. I DID NOT TRY THE PIZZA I ordered chicken parmigiana, and veal, and a side.of meatballs. The desserts are iqf quick serve premade desserts which where fine. I was struggling to find anything on the menu entirely cooked from scratch in the kitchen I'd have ordered that since I prefer to evaluate based on the house options. I'll try them again likely for the pie, but wasnt impressed by the 3 entrees we picked up. This was certainly a play it safe experience imho. And that's fine for many, they certainly didnt do anything that would scare me off from visiting again. read more

Great spot for classic Italian fare! Service is always super friendly, and I really appreciate how it's a small family-run business. Excellent chicken parmigiana sub! read more

I had a really good burger here. I tried the eggplant Parmesan and wasn't really impressed. It's a good place for lunch but the Italian game needs to step up a bit. read more

Went for lunch last week. I ordered the "fish chowder" there was literally no fish and a ton of celery. I almost felt like I ordered cream of celery. I am not exaggerating when I tell you there was not a single piece of fish in my chowder, and not even a taste of fish in the broth. Sausage sub was just a sausage, sauce, and cheese. It was sauced and cheesed well, and toasted but awkward to eat. It would be better if they sliced it up or at least on a bias before putting it in the bread. The sauce is nothing more then canned pizza shop marinara, like the kind they serve with the mozzarella sticks. Lots of chunks of tomato but no flavor. read more

The food is consistently good and the wait staff is always efficient and friendly. My wife and I eat here at least twice a week and have never been disappointed read more

Read Abby K's review it is spot on. Funny after dinner we read it and my daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs and liked the meatballs but complained about the sauce. She said it was the same as Chef Boy-ar-Dee Hey a 10 yr old should know. The pizza was lame - appeared to be frozen thin crust with no edges Service was very good but we were 1 of 2 tables so I would hope so. I have pizza 'experts' a 12 and 14 year old. They are a total of 3 pieces and said they won't eat the left overs. Hey they thought Little Caesar's was better. I wouldn't go that far. Odd that there is so many 5 Star ratings. This is not a five star place by any stretch of imagination. What this is -is a good place to bring 10 kids after a sports game. Cheap, fast and sure to get a table for 10+ and no food critics. read more

Ottimo cibo! ! Great food! Prices are decent. Staff is very, very, nice. Best roast beef in Concord. Have been going to Veano's since I was 19 and am now 62. Still one of my favorite places. ! Congratulations! read more

Cafeteria pizza. My husband and I have been trying all of the local pizza places since moving here over a year ago and we were so sad to discover that Veano's is the worst so far. We had a large pepperoni pizza, onion rings and cheesy garlic bread delivered via DoorDash. The pizza could easily have been a premade frozen pizza for sale in a hospital cafeteria. The cheesy garlic bread was overpriced and soggy ($6.95 for three pieces of bread). The onion rings were good according to my husband. Very disappointed, hopefully it will be a better experience in the future. read more

I had the everything pizza as left overs (1 day later) and it was phenomenal. I can only imagine what the pizza is like fresh out of the oven. I highly recommend this pizza . read more

Firs time coming and I'm not sure I'll be back. We ordered the calamari and the batter was very bland..I ordered the Reuben. Yea I know I ordered an Irish sandwich at an Italian joint, but hey. I just wish the bread was toasted. My fingers went right through the bread. Kinda gross when your sandwich falls apart in your hand. My boyfriend has the meatballs. The sauce was sweet and thin. Not real flavor either. Our server Katie was amazing and attentive! She is the reason for the three stars. read more

Veanos use to be a no nonsense Italian restaurant with GOOD food. I remember back in the day, groups of us us to go before high school dances . .it was fun and again, the FOOD was GOOD. When I was home in NH, I learned that the NEW Veano's just opened up, and I brought the fam there to check it out. . . First, just let me say do not, I repeat, DO NOT go to Veano's before a public outing / event / cuddle / date. The reason is, once you go in and sit down, you will SMELL like Veano's for the rest of the day / night. It's kind of like a fried Italian smell . .chicken parm? Yes, I think that's it. When we sat down, my husband, father and I tried to order a beer. . .but they were out of pretty much everything on the menu. We settled with the in-stock beer, Coors Light, and after oh about 15 minutes, these beers surfaced (without the diet Coke I ordered). They came in nice, frosty mugs but why did it take so long? We all decided to order a sammy and when we asked our waitress what came on them, she seemed annoyed that we did not know? I'm from Chicago honey, sorry. Three of us also ordered coleslaw that came BEFORE the sandwiches (since when is coleslaw a starter). It looked good and everything until I looked at Mike's and saw not one but TWO giant hairs. Eeeek. They looked like they each weighed five pounds or so. . . When the sandwiches finally came they were bland and DRY as the desert. . . a D'Angelo's sandwich is MUCH better, trust me. Even the french fries weren't good - they tasted like they were still frozen! Overall, not impressed (two stars for the frosty mugs). Between the hair, the stench and the dry food I do not think I, or my family who do live in the area, will come back here again. read more

I simply can't understand why so many people in Concord love this place and rave about it as one of the best Italian dining experiences they've ever had. I think nostalgia counts more towards this phenomenon than the food. Based on recommendations from dozens of people, we first tried Veano's before it moved to its new location, when it was located on Loudon Rd. We went for lunch and we were both underwhelmed. When they moved to their current location on Sheep Davis Rd, we went back for dinner and were once again underwhelmed. But when we were faced with a kitchen rennovation and no dinner on a weeknight, we decided to give the place another try. OY! I ordered chicken wings as a starter and as the words were leaving my mouth I felt instant regret. My assumption was correct - they were disgusting. They obviously came straight from the freezer as they were coated with a thick batter, then tossed in goopy buffalo sauce. They came on a plain white plate with a cup of blue cheese dressing that was remarkably devoid of actual blue cheese. No celery sticks, no carrots, no garnish, just this plate of insulting red chicken parts. But we were starving. I ate three, my husband ate all but one. I've never seen my husband leave a chicken wing on the plate, no matter how bad. But this time, he was undone by these horrible wings. I had spaghetti and meatballs for my entree and my husband ordered an antipasta salad. The one good thing I can say about my dinner was that the meatballs appeared to be home made. They had an irregular shape and that classical veal flavor that characterizes a home made Italian meatball. Other than that, we were once again utterly underwhelmed. My husband's dinner looked like someone went to the deli counter at the grocery story, bought a bunch of sliced meat and dumped it on top of a pile of lettuce. Literally, there was a slice of deli roast beef sitting on top of the whole thing. There were slabs of feta and a few olive sprinkled around, which gave the impression that it was a greek salad. But there were also slices of pepperoni on the salad. It was a confusing plate of food. Aside from the meatballs, my dinner was also lame. The sauce had a corn syrup sweetness about it that was mildly unpleasant. The pasta was clearly not cooked to order - it was kind of soft and faintly reminiscent of Franco American canned spaghetti. And I felt queasy and crampy for the rest of the night. I do not recommend Veano's under any circumstances. Olive Garden would serve you a better meal. read more

I love this spot! Amazing area to stop for a quick lunch or dinner, even if you order a takeout it will always be ready within 10-15 mins depending on how busy it is. Customer service is a A+ always so nice to be around! Definitely recommend the pasta as well the sauce is amazing!!! read more

This place is awesome, first of all. Don't know why people gave it bad reviews. If you've been to the original Veano's the food is pretty much the same - great! The onion rings are phenomenal - best ones I've had anywhere. They have the light crispy batter as opposed to most places that have the heavy breaded kind. I've had their broiled haddock several times and it's been perfect and delicious every time. And the waitstaff is very friendly. And I don't understand why one of the previous reviewers mentioned they have no Italian food other than pizza... what about the Chicken Cacciatore, Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna... etc? Sounds pretty Italian to me... maybe they didn't actually read the menu. Anyways give Veano's a try. They pretty much just have delicious home-cooking. I wouldn't say it's a place you'd go on a fancy date but the prices are reasonable and you will be satisfied. read more

I am absolutely obsessed with this place. The pizza is truly life changing. I'm blessed whenever I enter. Like I honestly can't get over just the pizza itself. Onion rings, mitts sticks, chicken strips, etc etc all very good. This is my 1st to 2nd favorite pizza place for sure. 10 star if I could guys. Staff is very friendly and awesome! Nice clean place. Highly recommend read more

Had a very nice lunch on the patio. Our server was friendly and VERY attentive and the food was delicious. The Reuben sandwiches were well made with beautiful marble rye and generous portions of fries or onion rings. I had the pressure fried chicken, which takes a bit longer to prepare but was terrific. This is a dish that's really hard to find and I enjoyed every bite. Will definitely be back! read more

I usually don't review since what I read seems pretty consistent. However, in this case the reviews (2 of 3) almost deterred me from going. Since a friend went recently and loved it the wife & I decided to go tonight -- a cold and rainy Tuesday. I'm glad we did. My broiled 1/2 haddock 1/2 scallops daily special was perfect. The wife gave her chicken parm five stars. The French onion soup and custard dessert were fine. Good service, bright atmosphere are also a plus. I would have liked a warm bread, but it was so good anyway we ordered seconds. If you go leave time to visit The Meat House just adjacent. We found some very good items, such as NH's North Country Smokehouse chorizo sausage. We don't have anything like this in Hooksett. We'll come back with our other family members. Hope this helps you decide more fairly. read more
