Southern-Leaning American Bistro Cannonball Dives Into South Pasadena
Briefly

Cannonball, a new restaurant in South Pasadena by chef Matt Molina and partner Joe Capella, opened on May 2. The venue, known for its vintage decor and spacious design, emphasizes seasonal produce sourced from local farmers. Molina, a James Beard Award winner, is recognized for his previous successes in the LA dining scene. This restaurant is the first collaboration for Molina and Capella and aims to introduce the charm of South Pasadena to a broader audience, combining quality food with reasonable pricing in a growing culinary landscape.
"Hippo was in a good spot and we wanted to do something in this neighborhood [South Pasadena]. I grew up in SGV and first heard about it when our friend Steven Arroyo opened something here... It's so charming here, but a lot of people in Northeast LA don't know about it, or the farmers market."
"With Molina and Capella steering the ship, South Pasadena has a grown-up restaurant for drinks and classic American dishes, coupled with reasonable prices."
