Announced March 21, 1998 by Samara Kalk: Nafi Elmazi, 35, who had helped train Sal's Pizzeria's workers in late 1997, had been remodeling the Edwardo's space (vacant since March 1997) for a month and expected to open 'in a couple of weeks' — so the opening was about April 1998, not 1997 as a 2005 account said. Pizza plus sandwiches, about 20 pastas, chicken, seafood and veal at student prices.
