 Floataway Café abides in a classic loft and warehouse space softened by artwork and brushed tin, stainless steel and chrome accents. Chef-owners and spouses Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison, whose Star Provisions empire includes Abattoir, Bacchanalia and the Quinones Room, have kept a busy pace at this casual but refined establishment. Chef de cuisine Christopher Schmidt maintains Floataway's reputation with heartwarming, flavorful and earthy cooking. Locally grown organic produce, some of it from the Quatrano family farm, is featured in the dishes, some of which are seasonal. For starters, consider the wood-grilled chicken livers, always on the appetizer list, although their appointments change from time to time. Crisply fried calamari is one of the best versions of the dish in the city. Pastas excel, a favorite being pappardelle with the slow-roasted signature porchetta. Boneless short ribs of beef ride atop creamy mashed potatoes. Desserts, which change seasonally as well, can be a heady experience and always include a cheese option. A refreshingly reasonable wine list offers unique bottles from around the world, with many of them available by the glass.
