Olivia's

This Italian-American kitchen prepares fresh, homemade, heat-and-eat foods that change daily. Meals are designed to take home with you, so there's no wait staff, but they will heat your purchase if you want to eat it there. They also have salads, breads and bakery items. The owners were still deciding on their special air show menu, but said they might have pizza on Friday and likely will have lobster rolls and back ribs on Saturday. They're closed Sunday.

They also serve smoothies, milkshakes, chai and espresso. Breakfast is served all day. Lunch is served after 10:30 a.m. and includes wraps, paninis, salads and bowls.
