"Taking over the very short-lived Sammataro Sports, Oribello’s is a Filipino-American sports bar and restaurant near the UT Campus. The menu features mostly fusion-y dishes, with things like ube tres leches, loco moco fries, and spicy tamarind margaritas." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"This Filipino spot near UT combines typical sports-bar trappings—wings, birria, pizzas—with some pretty tasty lumpia, rice bowls, and a few ube-flavored items. You might catch football or UFC on the TVs, but Oribello's also hosts open-mic comedy nights, DJ sets, and other less sporty events if you're so inclined. Come here to catch a game in a dark and cozy atmosphere, sip an ube colada, and snack your way through the appetizers." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Turning heritage into a culinary experience to be shared, the team behind Oribello’s brings their Filipino American upbringing to the table. This sports bar invites visitors to hang out at the bar, catch a game, and grab a lumpia and slices of the Sal Supreme, a pizza loaded with fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, green bell peppers, onion, mushroom, and Filipino longganisa, a sweet and garlicky pork sausage. For dessert, try its ube tres leches, a heavenly combination of creamy, nutty, and earthy flavors. Dine in for the welcoming vibes typically found in well-worn local sports bars and chill out at the bar watching a game or three with a purple ube-colada, Oribello’s signature ube-infused take on a frozen piña colada. Order one of its pizzas, bites, bowls, and/or desserts to go or for delivery, and enjoy in the comforts of your own home." - Clara Wang
"Price: $$ This family-owned Filipino American sports lounge and pizza bar opened in Central Austin in late January. Darrel Oribello, the restaurateur behind spots like Sazan Ramen and Endo Sushi, teamed up with his sons (DJ and Wesley Oribello and Brandon Kim) to offer a comforting combination of Filipino-inspired flavors and cherished family recipes. Diners can expect an entire pizza menu featuring toppings like Filipino longanisa sausage, garlic adobo cream sauce, birria meat, and American-style pies (Meat Lovers and Hawaiian) in addition to loads of Filipino dishes. The vibe gives sports bar with plenty of televisions, super dark woods, and luminescent paper lamp lighting. Must-try dish: Head in for the breakfast pizza, served only on weekends, with garlic sauce, eggs, a choice of crispy bacon or house longanisa, and potatoes." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Known for combining American, Filipino, and Chinese cuisines, this restaurant offers a new limited brunch menu with a diverse lineup of dishes. Diners will find ube pancakes served with ube syrup, a breakfast sandwich made up of eggs and a choice of sausage or bacon served on pizza dough, and breakfast pizza topped with eggs and garlic sauce. With a focus on its nighttime crowd, this cute and cozy spot is decorated in all-black, but it looks like the Cheers that Austin always needed in the light of day, too. Brunch is available on weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Order online for pickup or through DoorDash or Uber Eats." - Nadia Chaudhury
