There are some foods that were just made to be eaten together and crab in pasta is one of them. Here in SA we’re lucky enough to have access to fresh, locally caught crab over the summer months and a number of restaurants have taken advantage of the easy access to create some truly delicious dishes that are a must for any pasta or crustacean lover. Here’s a few of our favourites:
Chianti
Chianti brings a little piece of Italy, to Adelaide and the award-winning restaurant is currently serving up a delicious Linguine Nero dish which features Two Gulfs Swimmer Crab, with tomato, basil, chilli sugo
160 Hutt St, Adelaide SA 5000.
Cocobello
Frewville favourite Cocobello’s crab linguine is a must-try for seafood pasta lovers. The linguine is served with Australian Blue Swimmer Crab, tomato, chilli, garlic, shallots, parsley, tomatoes and basil, and is absolutely delicious!

Fugazzi
The New York-style Italian restaurant by Masterchef alumni, Laura and Max Sharrad, is the second instalment from the couple which sees a similar menu to Nido but with a twist. The menu is a personal drawing inspiration from Sharrad’s own travels through Italy, and features a must-try crab dish. The hand-rolled Taglierini is served with hand-picked Blue Swimmer Crab, chilli, garlic, salmon roe, and chive.
Find Fugazzi at 27 Leigh St, Adelaide SA 5000.
Gepetto’s at Hahndorf
This cosy Italian gem is located on the main street of Hahndorf and is bursting with atmosphere. Gepetto’s prides itself on serving up rustic Italian food with local ingredients, and their Linguini Con Grancho doesn’t disappoint. The perfectly cooked pasta is tossed with Blue Swimmer Crab, tomato, cream & brandy sauteed with chilli and garlic. It’s not super spicy though, so if you love a bit of zing, make sure you ask for their chilli oil, which is the perfect addition. We also love the Linguini Seafood too. Just make sure you go there hungry!
Find Gepetto’s at Hahndorf at 94 Mount Barker Road, Hahndorf.
