Jesus I have known this SOB since the 60's so over 50 myears, when he worked at Tommy's as a kid in DOT.
Then when Tommy moved to Southie and when Tommy passed it was Ottavios. Perkins Sq, was being sold and then the freakin' pandemic. I asked a few Southie friends and they said P St. Finally I found my old friend. My hair is long and in a godamned ponytail and a beard now too but now that I found you ugly SOB I'll be stopping by before the end of the year. With Much Love Charlie ( the pain in the ass long-haired kid) Love ya' Ottavio like everyone who knows you does

I have been going to Ottavio’s since I was a kid. He’s a great barber and it’s always a good time when I go. Miss the old shop but so glad he’s back! I highly recommend him.
I just moved to Boston and needed a trustworthy barber. After my first visit today I know I will be coming to Ottavio for my haircuts. He is an awesome person and gives a great haircut at an unbeatable price
