Lakeview's cozy French-Italian bistro Socca is off to a great start in 2010.

Look for it to celebrate its fifth anniversary next month with an all-star lineup of local chefs (Rick Gresh of Primehouse, Stephanie Izard of Girl & The Goat, Bristol's Chris Pandel, to name a few). Plus, one of its dishes was anointed "one of the best things" celeb chef Art Smith (Table Fifty-Two) ever ate on the popular Food Network series, The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

He gushes over the signature Shrimp Pizzette, which comes topped with heirloom tomato sauce, fontina, basil and chili pepper. The Food Network show airs at 9pm CST Feb. 5.

Get it now because once the show airs, it's gonna be crazy over there . . .
