A historic bakery and pastry shop in Bojano established in 1900, Casa Priolo is a fine spot for breakfast or a sweet stop, with traditional pastries, breads, and Molisan sweets in the town famous for its mozzarella.
Casa Priolo is a historic bakery and pastry shop in Bojano, an inland town of Molise, Italy, established in 1900 and a fine spot for breakfast or a sweet stop. Bojano sits at the foot of the Matese mountains and is famous for its mozzarella, but for more than a century Casa Priolo has been known for its breads, pastries, and traditional Molisan sweets. A morning here means fresh cornetti with a well-pulled espresso, while the counters display local biscuits and sweets that reflect the region's baking traditions. As a century-old institution, the bakery carries the weight of long local custom, the kind of place where generations of residents have bought their bread and treats. The setting is that of a classic Italian bar-pasticceria, with a counter for standing coffee and pastries, busy in the early morning and again in the late afternoon. Prices are modest, in the few-euro range typical of a bakery and café, making it an easy, inexpensive stop. As a breakfast and coffee spot, no reservation is needed; visitors simply step in for a pastry and an espresso. Its long opening hours, through the morning and again from late afternoon into the evening, suit both an early colazione and an afternoon sweet break. Bojano's location makes it a natural stop for travellers touring the Matese or heading between Campobasso and Isernia. For those wanting a taste of traditional Molisan baking in a historic setting — fresh cornetti, local biscuits, and a good espresso in a bakery open since 1900 — Casa Priolo offers an authentic and affordable start to the day.
