FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video! - Jak na to + styl
I got my first real restaurant job in 1978 working for a Sicilian family that moved from Brooklyn to central Virginia. There were 5 children; each one opened up their own location which they named after the family matriarch Rosa. They were the nicest, most wonderful people and they treated me like family. Your video just brought back a flood of memories, a smile, and a tear to my eye. Thanks!
Ciao y'all...
Aw! So nice!
Yes the immigrants from Sicily were nice and treated you like family. Imagine an America where in turn AMERICANS treated immigrants as good as immigrants treat Americans, or anyone who cross their paths. That would make the UNITED States OUTSTANDING!
Gina reminds me of my late husband's grandmother who taught me how to cook Italian dishes. Everyone needs an Italian grandma to teach them how to cook.
Whoever is lucky to have this sweet Angel in their lives should get on their knees and Thank God. “My Children Are My Life”. I hope you treat this lady like a Queen.
Yes they should! What a beautiful lady!!!
♥️♥️ Those are the hands of a woman who's worked all her life feeding people ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You know she's a pro when the stuffing matches the number of caps perfectly. I live in California and I can smell and taste those mushrooms from here.
I love how Gina has that slightly embarrassed, humble smile. What she may not know is how many people's lives (and cooking skills) she has influenced. She is a treasure.
I agree. It is wonderful to have such a warm, down to earth person to learn to cook with. She is the best in getting a person to love cooking. She's brought my interest back. We love Gina!
How could anyone ever ever give this sweetheart of a grandma a thumbs down...
The only thing I can figure out is that all the thumbs down are from Australia and they want this dear lady to know that Australia loves her as well.
they may be on a diet and can't eat what she is cooking ... and just watching them is making them hungry and so they break their diet ;)
Such a grandma. She said: my children are my life! Now that's a great woman. My grandmother, Carmen was the same. Amor❤
I guess you can film angels. They truly walk among us. She is an absolute gem
Indeed.
Nonna Gina , grazie ! I'm so happy I found you. I found would while looking for a ciambotta recipe. The only recipe my Mama didnt have in her book. I love you , like your my cugina. I too have familia in Toronto , Canada. We probably are familia! My Dad is from a small village in Puglia. Anyway I have made mushrooms my whole life eating and making them and we made them so different. I can wait to try yours. The ciambotta was fantastic.
Now I will try your mushrooms
Grazie tutti,
Grazie for sharing Nonna Gina.
I feel like I have my grandmother and Mom back!
I agree-glad I found her, after watching “Everybody Loves Raymond”, and wanting know what Braciole is!
I have seen her vidoes time and time over. She makes me so happy it's hard to articulate. I would not have made it though the last year so easy without her . She my antidepressant.
I want to learn to cook.... i prayed to God. This video popped up. I love everything Italian. I used to work at an Italian restaurant in Scottsdale Arizona. God bless your family
Other than Nona Gina, the most beautiful thing about these episodes is NOTHING.
No silly music, no talking over the chef,
Just the sounds of the kitchen and the narration.
Just lets Gina and her cooking shine.
The whole world should be full of grandma Gina's.
God Bless you Grandma.
I love your videos.
Absolutely love to see the older generation spreading their cooking skills.
Grandma Gina I absolutely LOVE ❤️ you.
When she said “I like to keep busy.” That melted my heart! We don’t realize how bored our grandparents get with old age, they can’t do a lot of physical activity how they used to. Most are retired. Children and grandchildren off living their lives and growing up. So what do they do to keep their time occupied besides watching tv? Hearing her say that made me realize how much we need to appreciate our grandparents and take them out more! 💛😭 you’re the sweetest Gina!
I agree, Ms. Brittany. My Nonnie taught me to make homemade spaghetti sauce, manicotti, and other dishes. Mama also taught me to cook and they both taught me to sew. My Daddy learned many things as a young boy and knows how to paint, electric work, plumbing, building, and so on. What's a shame is that many don't appreciate what our parents and grandparents know. Everything they've learned and know dies with them unless they have children and grandchildren to pass that knowledge on to. I'm an RN and I've worked 25 years in nursing homes/rehab centers. The elderly have a very special place in my heart and it grieves me when they don't have family or they do and don't visit. Ms. Gina, I found your channel just today and you are amazing. I loved your singing, sharing with us about your family, and so on. You are a very special and beautiful woman. Thanks for sharing with us!
All they ask is love nothing else. And grandma Gina she give us lots of love sharing her recipes her energy and her songs.
Brittany Love Gina is not old. She is seasoned! God Bless her....
@@paulreiman665 it is very sweet of you it is a big compliment coming from a man.
It drives my mother crazy when my dad putters around the house and yard. She complains all the time saying "Why does he have to go go go like that? At his age he should be relaxing." And my dad tells me one day. "If I stop, I'll die." Simple right? The person that said "IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT." was a friggin' very smart individual. That is my mantra from now on.
I love Gina. I watch her as often as I can.
I love Nana Gina
I have a pretty severe spine injury I’m fighting to get treatment for and the battle plus the pain can turn one sour on the world, real fast.
Odin keeps be going.
But we live alone and when he’s down for the night, the walls can start to creep in.
That’s where these lovely videos come in.
It’s like being in the kitchen with grandma and everything is going to be okay.
Wanted you to know they are likely more than simply cooking videos to many others like Odin & myself, a little family and knowledge there is still love and compassion out there.
🙏🏻💐🙇🏻♂️😊
You are in my prayers. God Bless.
How could anyone, dislike this. She is such a sweet heart. Cooking with lots of love.
When you said "my children are my life" that was my mother - how I miss her. There's nothing like a mother's love and for Italian mamas it shows in their cooking.
p.s. I love how you sing while you cook; I do too. :)
Correction-there is nothing like a GOOD mothers love. That must be so precious. Some mothers are extremely cruel & violent. Glad you were lucky, but it is really important not to romanticise mothers in general because it can make it harder for children who are suffering abuse & violence from bad mothers to get heard & believed & get help, if people start out assuming all mothers are good. Please do not let vulnerable children who do not have the protection of a good mother down. All the best.
Thanks to the family for sharing her with us
it's like she becomes our grandma for 20 minutes while she teaches us to cook
Yes
I love how she says my children are my life that's all
Best part about watching Grandma Gina's videos is when it starts. "Hello I'mma Ginaaaa" I just smile and get comfy and watch her do her thing. Isn't she just adorable? I sure miss my grandma and her accent! This is the best closest thing to it and it makes me so happy. Love you Gina!!! :)
Walter Condi yeah you can’t miss the beginning! Love I’m a Gina!
I have to share with you the fact that I’ve watched everyone of your shows not once but sometimes two and three times. It’s a little joke at my house because when you’re finished making something and you taste it it’s always a little bit more salt. After two weeks in the hospital and watching all your shows again I delight in adding ,lol, A little bit of salt ......you got me through a hard time Gina and there’s no way that you could know how important your shows were to me during those two weeks of surviving Covid pneumonia.
Love that you say "my children my life" I feel the same about my children and my grandchildren. I'm missing cooking for them these days. Thank you Gina for your positive loving attitude. God bless you and your family
This is what is missing in our world today, we need to respect and learn from our elders...my daughter is 18 and barely talks to me anymore...my son is 21 and we talk regularly...kids need to realize that their parents, grandparents, etc. won't be around forever....our elders have so many gifts we can learn from...take note...God bless
CM - Oh how happy you've made me with this comment. I always try to tell the young ones to treasure their parents and grandparents. My dear, beautiful grandma was so precious to me. My husband didn't really get to know his grandparents before they were gone, he was just too young then. I still consider my Grandma to be beautiful, because when I look at her picture, I see her soul.
C.M. You're absolutely right. These kids will find out what's important when we're gone. Then it's too late. Our family is gone. Oh well they often to late.
Absolutely agree
I'll tell you what. They care more about their phones than their own parents. I don't want to be mean here but it's true. I think boys are less absorbed in the likes and dislikes on their tic tocs and facebook and whatever else is the trend and that's why I am way closer to my son than my daughter. They won't have time for you until, Like the other person commented, You're gone. Then, It's too late. Those friggin' phones are f'n up every one and everything. You have to try to reconnect. Ask her if she would be willing to go off grid for only ONE day and spend it with you doing something together. If she says NO! Then you better look for different avenues to remedy the situation before it is a lost cause.. I wish you and yours the best and GOOD LUCK. It's so hard to get through to the youth of today.
Don't worry...they wake up and come back into your life between the ages of 21 and 25. You'll see.
She's at the age where she feels like an adult and resists you telling her what to do. Her head is all mixed up at this age. She will settle back down. I promise. Til then, love her and keep showing her how much you love her. She will be tied to you emotionally while not realizing it and this brings her back to you, the right way.
And I loved you from all my heart ,you reminded me of my mom but she died four years ago and may Allah bless you , mama Gina when you talked about your sister and started singing I cried because I have seven sisters but non of them live in the USA ,all of them is far away and spread apart ,you touched my heart with your look ,your singing ,your cooking and everything about you, Masha’Allah such a wonderful person,so glad to meat you and keep watching you love you .
From Texas
I am crying to as my mom gone as well , as if Gina remibds all sweetest in my mom and if she coukd she said and tought me same. Gina is world italianan grandmom ..love her for her heart ..
I close my eyes and I hear my Grandma talking, God rest her soul. Grandma Rose even looks like Gina. God bless her, wonderful channel. I can't stop watching.
I have never felt more honoured to be Canadian than when Gina sang that wonderful song
I find it funny how she says that Toronto and New York are too far away ... heck it's just a 4 hour trip by car ... it takes less time than going from Ottawa to Toronto lol
Who in the world would possibly give this 150 thumbs down?? I just don’t understand what someone wouldn’t like about these amazing dishes. She sounds just like my yia yia. We always cooked together. The way she cooks sounds and reminds so much of my yiayia. God bless you Gina! Beautiful cooking!
I hope Nonna Gina continues for a very long time, to show us all her wonderful recipes. I have made these and they are so good. Thank you Nonna Gina. Keep on teaching us.
This is how I love to cook and I love granma☺️
Thanks for the tip on how to choose the mushrooms!
Absolutely love her. She is adorable 🤗
How on earth in this life can any decent Human dislike Nona Gina,she comes from god, very few humans do, the last one was Mother Theresa;I feel so Blessed to see her,God bless you always from Australia xxxxx
she is a sweet little old Grandma and i love her, but you do her disfavor to compare her to Mother Teresa, because MT tortured little children. she had the money (a LOT of money given in donations--and furthermore, the RCC is the richest organization in the world--literally) to buy them pain medications but she made them do without because she said to the children, "suffering is good because it is like JESUS kissing you." one little boy in such agony said to her, "please tell JESUS to stop kissing me!"
but when mother teresa got sick and was in pain, she made sure she went to the best hospital in the world and had plenty of pain relief. also, in her diaries after she died, they found where she said she did not even believe in GOD, which i guess explains how she could force little children to suffer, because who would do such a horrible thing or even bear to watch children suffering without helping them. you can do the research yourself to verify what i have said.
I had no idea! I have to google this.
@@liwmld That's right, right Beauty. AND, the truth betold,......Mother Theresa was not Catholic. An imposter for the false church that only looks catholic and an ambassador, by default, for the coming one world religion.
I love all things Italian and have sat here all day watching her videos with a big smile on my face. Thank you for showing all the steps and explaining as you go. I'm 70 yrs old and born and raised in Kansas. I love you Gina!
I love watching you Gina, you have such a quiet simple approach to cooking your dishes. I am learning so much from you, thank you darling. Love from an Australian Grand Mother.
Oh Thank You Genia,
So wonderful to see you again. This turned out so good. Your teaching has converted 3 stuffed mushroom die hards. We all laughed when we saw how many those 3 ate. Then to tell them they were eating your stuffed mushrooms they all took a glass of wine & said a prayer for you then saluted you for such delish mushrooms.
Many, Many Blessings
"My children are my life." God bless you Nona Gina!❤
Who are the 499 people who gives this a thumbs down. How could you? This video and Gina is absolutely a breath of fresh air. Those mushrooms look delicioso!
How could they
Proberly friends of gladia as gina is no 1 now
@@jeanettereynolds3151 Gina rocks
My children are my life, what can I say? I love that! We need more Grandma Gina’s in this world ❤️
She personifies all the good grandmas around the world that gave a sense of peace and protection to children. From Helsinki to Hong Kong - from San Francisco to Sorrento , let each of us try to emulate them.
So right! Your comment brought tears to my eyes, as I think of my grandmas, and the grandmas who I see in my practice without whom children would likely be dead as for whatever reason their own parents are not in the picture. And more tears when I think how lucky I am to have Mom in my life and as a grandma to my children. God bless them all !
I love that you don't cut away or fast forward. Everythings in real time, made with love, talent and experience. I love watching your videos and hearing about how much you love your family and I love the old songs too. I think you may be my favourite CZcams chef Mrs. Gina. Thankyou for the recipes.
I love her, whenever I miss my grandmother's I watch her, she is an amazing lady, her family is lucky.
So delightful to watch! Nothing like an Italian Mom in the kitchen! Bueno petito 😋😋😋
I love Gina and appreciate that her daughter & SIL help give her this opportunity to share her recipes, culture, & love with us through CZcams! I've watched her videos for quite awhile, but this is first time commenting. I love her stories, her little songs, hearing her accent, little giggles, watching her give the sign of the cross, and feeling the love she shares with every recipe. She reminds me of my own dear grandmothers long gone from this life, but who also shared their love by preparing food for family, church & community. Thank you beautiful Gina! God bless you & your family always! 💕
I bow down to your greatness. Envious of your family and extended family that gets to enjoy your cooking.
May God Bless our Gina and her family...
She is adorable! Love watching her.
Ellen - can’t wait to try to cook the mushrooms. Wonderful learning from her.
I came here to learn how to cook mushrooms and ended up almost crying when she made the sign of the cross like my grandmother and sang to her sister ..I luv her
She makes me want to be Italian!
Omg please watch with subtitles on!! Its hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 amazing recipie as always!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
No 25 minutes is "not way to long" for this video. It perfect. If you want a quick stuffed mushroom tutorial go on tic toc. This video is more than just the mushrooms, it's the culture and the old school way the Italian women made this specific dish. I enjoyed every second of it. I felt like i was in the kitchen with my own grandmother. Keep up the good work!
Every time I watch her videos I love her even more!
I would like to pay a visit to the people that gave this video a thumbs down. I would give anything to have videos like this of my grandma.
I would love to, also! Unbelievable the meanness! LOVE to MAMA GINA!
Gramma Gina! I've been making stuffed mushrooms, old world Italian style, since I was taught by my Mama, at age 9! This cooking lesson taught me how to sit and complete a labor intensive task of mincing mushrooms! The most slippery suckers on earth and so were dealt with each one, very delicately, and with precision! We fed 7+ daily, so I was very satisfied to make this crowd pleaser as our holiday h'ordeurve for every American celebrated holiday! But snuck it in on an occasional Sunday, too! Progresso Italian style bread crumbs and more olive oil than you used. I loved seeing your wonderful tips, and am going to follow Your recipe next time! Prayers for all of us and very grateful to follow your channel. Much love always, Amy
I'm in Heaven! I fell in love with this Beautiful Italian Grandma, in about 2 seconds. I am not Italian. I was raised with Polish and Hungarian, parents. I was adopted. I'm biologically, Irish, Scotch, English. But, I Love Italian food. (I just found her today!) This is the 2nd video I've watched today. The first was Minestrone soup. The Stuffed Mushrooms look amazing and delicious. I really want to make this. It's much easier than I thought it would be. I Love Mushrooms!! Big time!! Grandma Gina, is Adorable and Amazing. Thank you, for sharing and showing us how to make delicious food. You are an Absolute Delight. God Bless You, Always🙏💖
beautiful food beautiful spirit cooking the food,,,
From a Scottish Granny to Italian Granny I tried your stuffed mushrooms and they were 😋
❤️❤️❤️❤️ delicious
Happiness is making stuffed mushrooms for your family and singing in Italian....God Bless grandma’s 🙏🏼
She lives to cook meals for her family!! A gem for sure!
Remind me of my mom who passed this past year. She too loved to cook for family. It is their way of giving love ! I miss her soo
I lost mine in 1999. It will get better over time. I feel for you.
I PERFER WATCHING THIS SWEET LADY THEN THAT GIADA ON FOOD NETWORK!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏
I love to listen to Gina speak. She has a lovely Italian accent which reminds me of my dear nana who passed away two months short of her 100th birthday in 2016. She was one tough cookie. God bless her and god bless Gina. Thank you for your recipe.
Thank you my dear for taking me back to my childhood and the magic that was Sunday dinner at Nanna's... love.
This looks great...this lady is so nice, so simple...I will prepare stufed mushroom as soon as possible. Thank you 🤗
I just found this wonderful woman. She is cooking from scratch and i love her love for family. I lived in little italy in new york and my italian friends never stop cooking and eating . I was feed all the time. You have never seen a buffet until you have some italian friends. And absolutely delicious food. I did not want to go home and they didn't want me to go. Sheer unadulterated love. I love her. And the singing makes me cry. So genuine. Much love and peace to you.
You met her how?and you decided to put her on u tube?
@@jeanettekniebusch9532 i don't understand the question,sorry.
@@jeanettekniebusch9532 I think she means she has just found these videos on CZcams.
I love watching Gina's videos. I truly appreciate whoever came up with the idea to film Gina and Bless us with her cooking.
agree... a true treasure
Gina, I don’t even care for mushrooms, but your presentation makes me hungry for your cooking. Your children are blessed to share your life.
I vacationed in Spain! Every second block there were Spanish Stuffed Mushrooms! They looked beautiful…and tasted like heaven!
When I came home, I was determined to copy them! They were never the same, but still delicious! I chopped the meat from the stems as you are, added tomato sauce, and cooked crispy cooked bacon. Then chopped green onion and added to the mix! Top with Mozzarella cheese cut in squares and place on each mushroom. A sprinkle of basil and oregano and placed on cookie sheet. Then refrigerated on cookie sheet, when ready to serve, broil until mozzarella is melted and mushroom is no longer spongey,, but slightly softened! Worth the effort, that’s for sure!
This is what an expert in the kitchen looks like. Thank you Gina !!!
we love you , your gentle loving grandmotherlyness permeates
What a gem she is!
What a wonderful lady.
She is doing a good job illustrating
Awwww your children are your life ...that’s beautiful to hear ...very rare.
The hand that rocks the cradle, feeds the family and is the heart of the world. Mama!
Gina I could watch you all day. Such a big wonderful heart, so generous with your wealth of knowledge and understanding of food.
GOD bless you Gina.
Love you 😍
Every home should have a Gina and treasure her. Katherine
I could not click this fast enough! Seeing a new video from my favorite Nona on CZcams has made my day! Happy Thanksgiving dear Gina, God Bless you!

This dear woman is a treasure. What a great gift she’s given to her posterity and to all of us. She seems to really enjoy sharing her talents and her culture. God bless.
We love you right back, Grandma!
I love your sing-song lilting accent, Gina. Will watch more of you. I love Italian food. Hugs from Australia.
This nice lady is the real deal
I made your stuffed mushrooms following your recipe exactly. They were the best I've ever had. I'm making another batch today. Thank you so much dear lady for sharing your wonderful cooking with us. We're all happier and healthier because of you. Much love to you.
It is such an honor and a pleasure to see such a beautiful Italian lady cook ... ah ... and to share this recipe is so graciously appreciated. I will try my best to duplicate it, but with the apparent love you put into your cooking, I could never duplicate exactly. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas last year, this year and for many more to come. Your name will be on the top of my list for favorite recipes. Buon-a-Petitti, Miss Gina!
I love you too Gina. You bring a smile to my face in this time of havoc. Do stay safe darling !
Everybody loves you too, Gina. Keep cooking for everybody. Thank you.
We need to have a video of Gina singing all her greatest hit songs. :) Love hearing her sing!
Yes I definitely would like that .
Ahhh Gina, hello! You taught me how to make Stuffed Mushrooms! I'm so excited! I just love stuffed mushrooms but didn't know how to make them. Now I can't wait to make these. They look so delicious! God Bless you Gina. You are too sweet and kind. Thank you for making these mushrooms and telling us just how to do it. You are a good teacher. Watch and you will learn, right? I'll keep and cherish this recipe forever. I'm so glad you went to Canada to visit your sister. I know how you miss her because I have family that live far away also. So I'll watch another video of you cooking now. You're the best! Keep on cooking and singing. Love you Gina! 💜😘😊🙏🙌🌹🌹🌺🌸🌻🌻💐🍄🌷🌷💜💜💜

Grandma's cooking is full of love.
I'm so glad I discovered you, Grandma Gina! I can't wait to make these. You are wonderful at explaining exactly what to do step by step. It is a joy to watch you cook! Be well and enjoy your family who must love you so!
Gina, I am from a totally different culture ( Bengali immigrant to USA) but you still remind me of my mom and grandma. Keep singing, telling us your stories while you cook. I'll make this dish for thanksgiving.
Gina, I love you. I could watch you all day everyday. I am not italian. I am married to an Italian and we go to Italy often. You are the real deal. You make me so happy. I have made many of your recipes. Keep on cooking!
