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
When you're sweet mother- in-law loves you enough to cook your favorite meal, sing you a song, and pray for your recovery.....you are really blessed!
Amen truely blessed in deed ....Amen
God bless her beautiful soul 😘♥️ reminds me of someone dear to me
You are so blessed! I stumbled upon her profile few months ago looking for a bread recipe. Now I refuse to try any other italian dish besides hers! I started following her on Instagram also
I had an Italian MIL and she sure didn't treat me that way! Would have been nice though!
So true! ♡ That's the kind of mother-in-law I try to be.
I can’t even pay attention to the recipe, she’s too cute 😂
Leslie Torres love that I’m both 🇵🇷🇮🇹🙏🏼
Damian Angelo nice I’m 🇲🇽and 🇪🇸
damn shawty you cute asf what’s your insta??
Leslie Torres omg that’s what I was thinking 😭😭😭😭
Pay attention Leslie, or else how will you learn? She is so adorable though. Gina makes me miss
my own Italian Grand Moms.
A real woman, a real mom, a real mother in law.. a real cook.. all with love ❤️.. we need more women like her !
Absolutely!
They were trained away!
Unlike all those other…fake…? Women?
@@goshujinsama666 yeah those AI women are seriously lacking in the “get in the kitchen and make me some pasta” department.
But apparently doesn't know the legitimate recipe for alfredo sauce.
Yum thank you
Imagine growing up eating this food everyday and made by someone as incredible as her. Family was truly blessed ❤
Pretty sure I’d be fat.
@@mag-nm7tw 😂I grew up with it and was, still am in great shape. Moderation and being active helps a lot.
I'd be 400 lbs
Thank you for this precious 🙏🙏 lady and her family for sharing this ... wonderful memories...love you Miss Gina.....
no this is not a traditional dish among italians but I'm guessing she makes it for her in-law bc it's popular in the US
My favorite Italian translation: “Liddle bah liddle” = “dump all of the cream at once.”
The French equivalent is... just a little splash of wine.
I thought the same lol
Everyone that shows recipes is like that. She also says very very low flame and proceeds to put it on medium. Gordon Ramsey says a splash of olive oil and puts like half a cup. Most say things like it takes 5 mins to make but it's actually 45 minutes. Can never trust anything with recipes, really. At least, it's very hard to completely mess something up even with approximations.
"2 shots of vodka"
haahahaha **loses patience and throws the whole cheese plate on the pan**
She's the reason why we gotta protect all the old folks at all costs
They're not all created equally 😂. She is exceptionally exquisite
They are treasures that the young often over look, they can teach us soooo much Thank you mama Gina
🙏🏼😢😭 truth
I believe Gina is from the era of Italians who don't die until they want to. As long as she stays this active she will be here a long time. I'm sitting at her table in spirit and next to me is God, who blesses her food and the beautiful lady who made it.
Thank you for all your amazing recepies. My family love all your food so much. You are the Italian grandmother for our family in Australia. My family love your food and watching your videos. All your experience in Italian cooking is worth millions. My son 11 and my daughter 7 run to the phone when I play your videos before I cook. My daughter dances to the Italian music. You are a blessing.... God Bless Anna xx XxX
I just came across Grandma Gina. I’m so glad I found her! What a gem☺️ I bet everything she cooks is delicious 😋 Thank you grandma Gina for sharing with the world❤️
What a beautiful blessing Gina is. She has brought happy tears when she asked GOD to Bless America, and to bless the WORLD.❤
Grandmas like this, like mine, like yours, will never be born again 😭😭 Their whole life was just to be there for their family ❤️
This is something that the world can learn from in this fast paced technologically advanced world. Go back to the basics. Maybe there is hope for the world yet
This is amazing
😢😢😢
Damn bro that hit me so hard that is so true lol
NONNA!!!
I miss my Nonna Ana...She said "Teresa you buy flower for me" so I bought her a beautiful Tulip ...she laughed so hard and say flower to make a bread...I realized flour...we laughed so hard.. those were our precious moments together
jajajajja now that was funny
That's adorable. I laughed tons with my granny too. Priceless unforgettable memories.
😂😂😂😂😂
that is SO cute though 😭
That is so precious 💕💕
Grandma's cooking in every country is always a different feeling. Brings back so many memories.
You are so loved, reminding us all of the beauty in life, with family... always value and appreciate one another. So very simple Grandma, but so very VITAL to us all. Thankyou, love your singing!
What’s weird is, when I watch her, my anxiety melts away and I feel like I’m a little kid again with no worries, just waiting for a special meal from my Great Aunts and Grandma as they cooked, sang and bantered in the kitchen.
Yes
Me, too!!!! I feel so comforted and safe. LA FAMILIA!
Yes it is a comfort,I find that too,whatever to get through this life
I agree
Hi there
6:37 “ferst you gotta put da salta, da pasta taste-ah bedda!” Sweet Jesus I love this woman I’m crying 😭❤️
Jordyn Largusa shawty you cute asf what’s your insta 😍😍
Ha ha! I though that part was so cute.
Me too 😢 in a Good Way... 👍 Gina is so Sweet!! 💖🇮🇹 Thanks for Sharing Your Beautiful Kindhearted Grandma!! 💟😁🍝🇮🇹💟
Adorable Nonna!!!
I'm crying, too, Jordyn.....I lose it when she tells the story of how she remembers her mother washing clothes in the river......then she sings.....from the heart.....then she herself tears up.....she feels the love.....thanks her God......She is my grandma through and through.......I love her as my own......I LOVE CZcams. Merry Christmas, Jordyn ♡
I just discovered Grandma on CZcams. I was tired of politics. Love her heavy accent and her cooking. She makes me smile AND hungry. Love when she breaks into song. What a lovely lady. Bravo!
Brava!
Exactly the same here. Tired of politics, love her accent, love her singing, love the care she puts into her cooking, all from scratch but simple!❤❤❤❤
I had a 80 year old grandma who would throw things on the stove and everything she made tasted delicious. The simplest things but it was magic. My grandma was from Jamaica but this Italian Nona reminds me of mine. Blessings to her. You can tell she loves cooking for her kids and grandkids.
I thonk making it out of love is the key ingredient tto amy meal tasting better. You can tell the difference when they enjoy cooking and doing it out of love verses not being that way or having an off day. Yes it helps if they already know how toncook good. But that other stuff makes it way better for some reason 😊.
I'm italian. When She sings at 14:32 I cry. I see my culture, my grand-mothers, my country... We called it "poesia".
My mother was 100%Sici and she used to sing when she cooked.
Poetry…
So do we Puerto Ricans, we love and treasure our elders. Love you Gina and God bless you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
❤
she broke my heart when her hand started shaking holding the spoon, she's still committed to cook and provide for her family, I love her for that. She reminds me of my grandma may she rest in peace. May god bless her soul
AdnanDrift same🥺
She’s still a work horse ya gotta love her
Rockie mountin ii
Yes, and also when she mentions her son-in-law 🥺♥️🥰🌹
If she has hand tremors or Parkinson’s, Jayden’s Juice CBD tincture can help her. It’s ratio is 20:1 CBD:THC 1mg thc to activate the THC she will not feel euphoria from the drops.
Beautiful! Beautiful food. Beautiful singing. Beautiful woman. Thank you Gina! 💜💜💜
I only speak English so I didn't understand a word but the emotion and the gusto with which she sang was so beautiful!! What a beautiful spirit she has!
Love her controversial yet confident stance on the correct amount pepper
Soma people don’t Lika the black peppa
My famila lika the black peppa
Lolll Yesss how Careful she is not to overdo it 💞 she's Adorable 😁
I love pepper! More Gina!!! ❤️
I don’t have grandparents so this is so comforting to me. Thank you. Love your recipes
Maria Zavala aww
I dont either
Same
The same here. I don't have grandparents anymore to. This is comforting 😁
Were you all born in a lab or something?
I used to live with an Italian family. She reminds me so much of the grandma. She taught me how to make fettuccine and fried eggplant, how to make canned tomato sauce for an entire year. It’s a shame I don’t remember anything.
I love watching this lady get so much joy out of what she is doing, god bless her.
Everyone should have a Granny like you. The world would be a better place.
I had 2 in my lifetime I am truly blessed
I'm good, I already love my grandma
"I put a boatload of cheese into the heavy cream sauce, but now that the pasta is on the serving platter, let's add some more cheese. Now, I'll serve myself a bowl, and add more cheese."
I like the way you think, Gina 😄♥️
My favorite part besides her being so cute. Bc that is the exact love of cheese I have. lol
By
And-a the parslina.
She is 85 and I bet she is more fit and healthy than you!
@@khch3706 I'm sure she is! I feel like you missed the point of my comment. You'll note I was paying her a compliment...
I love to hear you speak Italian. It brings me back to being a young girl. It's wonderful to watch you cook and listen to you speak in English and Italian. Thank you for doing these videos.
That song at the end was so wholesome. Such a beautiful memory she shared with us. It made me cry to think about my great grandmother in Mexico who grew up on a ranch near a river and had her children on that ranch and my grandmother had her children (my father on that ranch) and they all washed their clothes in that river.
“My favorite son-in-law.” 💕😂 I hope the others aren’t watching. 😂 Love her!
she meant her son in law's favorite. Not her favorite son in law. lol latin language opposite of English in the order we put nouns, etc.
She has only one
@Danielle Wilson, I caught that too...Too funny...Got to love her...
She is genuine and says As it is....
Or maybe she has 1 son in law 🤣😂🤣
I was stationed in
Italy in the 90’s and she reminds me of my landlords mom. I couldn’t just pay my rent and leave, she always fed you and opened a bottle of home made wine (no label). My son was 3
at the time and he had to be with me or grandma wouldn’t take my money. She’d fawn over him something terrible. I miss that.
WHat a wonderful story, thank you for sharing that!
SO DARLING!
I was stationed in Rota, Spain from 95-97, wish I would have went to or was station in Italy, although I did enjoy being in Spain
Hello Barbara
Gina is too adorable and so cute!!! Love her cooking style and her welcoming personality!❤❤
Precious little lady!! Love her accent her songs and her recipes!! The real deal for Italian cuisine and hospitality!!
I love how much she loves her son in law, her accent, and her cooking!
More than her cooking I just fell in love with her. How humble she shows herself... grazie nonna
Grazie nonna *
Yes grazie nonna
God bless you.
Oh my! She is so cute. I almost cry when she sang. God bless everyone for having people like her in their lives. Thank you so much for sharing a wonderful homemade recipe.
Oh my goodness, she is the epitome of love and care. I’m so grateful to be able to watch her channel. Thank you
I don't understand a word you are singing, yet it touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes. I feel the love. You are such a blessing, sweet Lady.
OMG, I feel the same way....the Spirit of that song in her voice......wow,I had to listen to end
That's what singing do, it touches the heart, no boundaries with language..💓
You can read
If everybody had a 'Nana' like Gina...there truly would be peace on earth :)
You mean Nonna ! 😉❤️
Gina the is Nonna that everyone should have 💕
She reminds me of my own grandmas. I miss them so much.
Sweet grandmas are the most precious people in the world.
@@dhurley8522 No, I meant Nana...I'm 100% Italian and know the difference ...Gina is Grandmother and Godmother to all people, not just us paisans :)
I'd be so fat and so happy!!
Amen!
I love watching Gina cook and sing, my fathers family is from Italy and she reminds me of all my aunts, a pure heart 💜 ❤
I am watching this channel for the first time and I am already a fan. Live long, grandma. You are beautiful ❤️
She's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
@Cheryl Porter Vocal Coach 🕊️
FYI: Gina and you(Cheryl Porter), are the type of human beings that radiate happiness. Both of you always make me smile - big time!
God bless both of you. 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
@@MariaB.. Awww thank you sweetheart ❤
@@CherylPorterVocalCoach
🎵 You're very welcome! 🎶
Yes she is. Italians are very family oriented and she warms my heart🥰🥰🥰
@@sethpiapot7074 ❤
Who needs the Food Network with their clown "celebrity chefs" when you can get a real cook like Italian Grandma here on youtube? Thank you Gina!
Absolutely!...Especially Guy Fieri and Giada DeLaurentis. I just watched a little of Lidia Bastianich. Snobby, boring and food didn't look nearly as appetizing as Nonna Gina's.
Plus, don't you wish you could get a nice warm Grandma hug from her? And you know she will have a nice tin of cookies/biscotti and set some out on a little plate for you.
Absolutely!
Enough said ! Definitely we do not 👍🏻
Usia55 Too TRUE. All silly game shows and repeats!!
Love this woman and she sings lovely, let’s keep the traditions of all our elders sacred no matter what country they are precious God bless America
Watching you use the fork and the spoon to eat reminds me of my StepFather, always used both fork and spoon. Good memories. Thank you Ms. Gina! I used to love watching him cook and watching you cook gives me such peace. ❤🙏
I love grandma Gina❣️
I lost my grandma when I was 16....
I’m now 52...
Grandma Gina is the closes I’ll get to having a grandma again
So sweet and loves to cook for everyone ❣️
They don’t make grandmas like this no more🥰🙏🏻💝
God bless you grandma Gina:)
I was 7even when my Grandmother Lucy passed away. This is her way and spirit to comfort me, teach me and gives me the strength to be strong and go on. 11 when Mi Abuela Claudia passed too. I can relate.
This Italian grandma is like a Muslim grandma her food is nice and halal !
I miss my grandma too
We need some tshirts that say “justa lilla bit.”
Love her beautiful accent♥️
😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
Hello Christina
awe... lol she is too cute
We all have a little bit of Italian 🇮🇹 in our hearts ❤️ I am from El Salvador, but I love Italian food, and I did her recipe, yummy 😋 thank you grandma Gina 🙏🏻🌹
If Italian Grandma had a hug line, I'd stand a full day, just to give her a huge hug! Thank you for sharing your love of cooking with those of us who love cooking! I have made a number of your dishes!
Everyone has their own version of the recipe, but I knew I struck gold when I found a genuine Italian grandma
Meta Grave I had always put garlic in mine, I was surprised there’s no garlic in an authentic Italian recipe.
@@HandbagDiva No no garlic in the authentic recipe i've got a similar recipe but i replace the romano for parmesan and I add 2 egg yolks
She’s Just Great I just love her♥️
pinkyt67 Alfredo isn’t authentic Italian...no such thing of it in italy
@@francescacampo3964 You must not know why it's called Alfredo. A quick google search never hurts.
What a precious lady, she makes me miss my grandma 😢
Josie Sparks me too. I’ve been watching her with tears in my eyes.
Ah now you brought it up, me too :(
damn sorry to hear about your grandma
Josie Sparks same 😢
Gina and family, thank you for sharing your recipes and your joy for cooking and life. Gina reminds me so much of my beloved grandmother who came from Potenza as a young girl and connected with her grandkids through her cooking and her stories. She had such an impact I have passed her joy along to my now young adult children. Your videos allow me to give my kids a view into what their great grandma Corizzo was
Like and why she so influenced my life. Thank you for sharing! JCM
Your family is so blessed to have this woman in your life, she is so full of life & passion god bless you Gina
It is so sweet that she made this for her son in law. She’s a very special lady!!
Her FAVORITE son in law!!!!
I’m sorry ma’am but who gave you permission to be this adorable
True what ssid
Omg right??? 💜
😂💜💜
I did! I gave her permission! So BACK off, y'all, jk.
Jordyn Largusa the nerve! Lmfaoo
For a moment I felt like I'm her grandchild watching her cook. Reminds me of my grandma, she was the sweetest, she always let me watch her cooking and make me delicious breakfast. Also she used to always have food whenever we visited her. The chicken curry and the meat curry was the best by her.
I love Italian foods, I mean, who doesn't! I always search for authentic italian recipes, but there are so many different recipes from different people. I'm just glad i found this video and loving to watch a super sweet italian grandma cooking and sharing her recipes!! That's really nice of you! Thank you!
This recipe has nothing to do with Italy
@@proteinpapi7595 it’s true, for the most of recipes here, but she is so agreeable!greetings to all followers from Italia🙋🏻♀️🇮🇹
@@proteinpapi7595 Yeah I questioned why she put heavy cream in it. The original recipe has no cream just butter and pasta water
What Italian people don't realize is that most of the American variations of traditional Italian recipes were invented by Italian immigrants themselves.
Mediterranean ingredients couldn't be found in US at the time, or were just too expensive/different from the ones in Italy, so they had to invent new recipes using the ingredients that could be easily purchased in US.
These recipes may not be traditionally Italian, but they are part of the Italian-American history and culture.
So, even though it's rare to find fettuccine Alfredo here in Italy, I still respect this grandma and the love and effort she puts in here dishes.
Gli Italiani accettano con piacere le eventuali modifiche, a non spacciate ricette che sono icone della nostra cultura come tali. per noi e' un'offesa. Cabiate piuttosto nome e magari le proveremo anche noi. Rifletti prima di scrivere.
It is not rare to fine fettuccine Alfredo in italy, It is just impossible
@@filippomatteini1475 True... 😢 only few restaurants make them.
Okay great, now keep that abomination in america, thanks
you are so right...my family came to Elise Island and then to NJ, some to Boston, some to NY some to Chicago. They all adapted to what ingredients they had to continue what they fed their families back home. Watch her early bread and past making videos...and when she shares her memories and sings, well, it's from her heart.
I already told my wife I'm leaving her for Gina, I'll probably end up weighing 400 pounds but I don't care I'm in love
😂😂😂 I don't blame you ..she is adorable ..very sweet lady ! 💓💓 great cook !
@@margaretmarmol6497 wa¹zs
Not if you eat as an Italian as they are the least overweight people in Europe, check it out.
@@tchirn Im half italian and im lean , its the genes
One year ago you posted regarding this video. Did you leave her and are you 400 pounds?
She really makes my day better, she makes me smile and warms up my heart. Bless her! 😘🥰💖
She’s so precious. I miss my Italian grandma....she was in the kitchen all day long with her apron on. God bless you Gina
How could you not Love this Nonni, she is full of life🍷
"Nonna", please.
She sounds exactly like my nonna did. Very broken English.
She is look like my mom . Very lovely
Nonni is plural, she's only one person, therefore is "nonna"
I don’t know why, i just automatically cry when i heard her sang, like she’s my own grandma and i felt like i love her so much
HEY..... so did I. I pictured her with her mom, doing the wash, not a care in the world. Took me back with my mom.
Same❤️😥
Yes. I don't know a word of what she said but it made me cry :(
Agreed❤😩❤
I cried too, my grandma passed away when I was a teen. my grandmother looked alot like Gina, especially when she started singing I just started crying.
She is so sweet. She reminds me of my mom. Although my mothers recipies were from Puerto Rico, she loves cooking for her family. My family loves italian food. May God bless her always.
this grandma Gina reminds me of my own grandma and I love to watch her because I miss my grandma and I miss my mom and watching. Gina is so beautiful. I love her. God bless you Gina for making a lot of people happy.
My husband wakes me up this morning and tells me “You’re not dreaming, Gina’s back!” GREATEST NEWS EVER!!! Love you Nona Gina! So happy you’re back. So happy you’re son-in-law is back too!
I am brown. My grandmother was brown. Even tho she was very different from grandma Gina. But watching her videos somehow she made me miss my grandma and now I’m crying. This is the reason all grandmas are truly a blessing. I hope you live a 100 more years granny. Keep making us good food and good smiles
omg same
My grandmother wasn't Italian, but yeah, Gina reminds me of her. My Grandma would cook up a storm when we went to visit. She made the best old dishes.
Grandma's are just grandma's, and they are a treasure.
Too bad this latest generation was raised to believe that elderly people have to earn their respect, so misguided. We were raised to respect your elders.
Holy shit, you just made me tear up. Grandmas are awesome!
God bless you, wonderful Mother.
All kids can attest to one thing.
No one can cook as good as Mom You already won your son-in-law over. Home made noodles too, must taste wonderful! ♥️♥️
It’s a great pleasure to see the pureness of this grandma’s devotion for cooking. Thank you very much.
My father always said, "It's not pepper unless you can see it."
That meant a lot. 😊
I always say "don't add an ingredient if you can't barely taste it".
And what about white pepper...? Lol
I LOVE black pepper!
I'm crying with kleenex all over my lap. You bring back so many memories with gramma making THE best dishes for us. When she was cooking she would sing praises really loud in the kitchen giving glory to God. She would ALWAYS have something ready for us. Miss her so much. Thank you Gina for your fine cooking.
I love Italy. The country, the food, culture, art and most of all the people. I feel lucky to find this wonderful woman 😍
I remember my grandma and her cooking. She was German and Polish. Oh my gosh. I so miss it. This old world cooking can never be replaced by nobody. God Bless to You. ♥️👍
Same as my Norwegian mother & grandma. My dad German heritage & my mother cooked German style also. 😋😋
5/1/24: I didn't understand a word she sang, but I enjoyed it thoroughly just the same. She's a sweet lady with a lot of spunk and energy, and I love and enjoy her cooking techniques. I made this dish today. God bless Mama Gina! 💖
So emotional. She loves her son-in-law! Thank you so much for preserving the food history. Gina is wonderful, thank you for sharing Gina's story, so important.
APPRECIATION BEAUTY! I LOVE US..CUTE COMMENT PERIOD.
I know, you can see she's genuinely caring of her son in law you can see how much she loves him as she talks about him and the sound in her voice it's like she's talking about one of her own sons and her favorite
Im waiting for Joe Pesci to come out and sample the fetuccine alfredo at any moment lol.
I'm in love. I will forever think of Gina when I make Fettuccine Alfredo or when I need to feel a little more happiness that people like her exist.
Oh my goodness I agree!!! 🥰
How was it?
Your kids friends must have loved hanging out at your house because of the wonderful food you're always making!!! You bless us all with your knowledge and skills.
She's a true gem. Love when she ends her videos singing!
Ms Gina, I wish I could nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize. I believe that if all the world leaders could gather in your kitchen, there would be peace! There is no better music than what is sung from the heart. God bless you and your family.
Joyce Carroll couldn’t have been said better
I second the nomination!
Well said! Amen
So true! Let's make it happen. The result would be world peace!
I remember, I was about three years old, my grandmother was still doing the laundry in a steel tub of water and she used a washboard. No washing machine back in the day. (And she had 14 children!) The water coming into the house was cold water only. If you wanted hot you had to make a fire in the stove first, heat the water and carry on from there. My auntie bought her a washing machine when she was able to do so. That was somewhere around 1970 or so. By then my grandparents were old, their children grown. My grandfather passed in 1970, aged 76. I think, we are very spoiled today with our household machines and gadgets. We have no real concept of how hard people like Gina or my grandparents, or even my own mother (now 84) had to work just to do their daily, basic chores. Thank you, Gina, for sharing and singing!
Love to watch and listen to Grandma Gina! Reminds me of my younger days and watching my grandma cook. I hope all is well with you and your wonderful family! All the best!
Gina, I love watching you cook because it brings back memories of my Nana when I was a little girl. She had the same accent and cooked the exact same way you do. They grew everything in their backyard garden too. She is the one who taught me to cook. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
She is a dying breed, we definitely are lucky to learn from such precious souls! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is how you love someone. Her son-in-law is a fortunate man.
I absolutely adore Grandma Gina, thank you for sharing the magic that she is, with each of us.
Wish I were in that kitchen with you. That looks so good. Your son in law is a lucky man. May God bless your family.
I don’t care what anyone says, she is just the cutest ever I literally smiled the whole time
Cute grandma
Whoever disliked this video are monsters, she is a treasure ❤️
Can't believe it either. Why, we'll never know. Maybe they're lactose intolerant.
I love the way she's speaking both in English and Italian.
Grazie molto 🙏
I totally agree! If you dont like, do something else and dont do tumbs down. She so genuine! So happy and full av love. And the food must taste wonderful!
Some people go from channel to channel to channel complaining at each video..... they have nothing better to do.
So many rude, miserable people around, who want to spread their negativity. They are disturbed.
Someone hit mother-in-law platinum level. I did too only it’s Mexican food. When mothers like this cook it’s the absolute best. ❤
This reminds me so much of my Oma. She was German but had a very think accent. She would explain what and how she was cooking, which instilled a love of cooking in me. Great memories!
I'm not crying 😭😭 Thank You GranMa Gina. I somehow came across your YT channel and right at the start as doon as I heard your voice, i was glued, stuck in my seat, with tears of I don't know why, but my whole being felt at ease and calm... Yes I'm still not crying 😭😭 GranMa Gina, GranMaGina, GranMa Gina 🤗 You may never know how much YOU have helped and comforted me this morning 7/10/2021 @ 12:10pm
I love how she makes everything from scratch, this is real cooking!
This is what I admire about her she did not put stuff that is questionable to eat it’s halal she made everything homemade no pork fats no wine no unnatural things ! I would to know how she made the pasta God bless her she is smart lady in her cooking !
Amen to that
miaubella and she made the pasta 😊
Oh yes so true
Yes indeed...Made with lots of love...
What a precious soul. . Thank you for gracing up with this blessing. I so miss my Nana.
What a precious video! A cooking lesson with a legitimate Italian Nona. She also sings! Lots of love from Brazil.
Just when I think this can’t get any better, Gina starts singing! 🥰
I know , right?! She's so cute. She looks like my mom!! 😊
Words can’t describe how quickly you fall in love with this lady! She's the best! I also think she sings well!

Hello Alma
Watching her cook makes me happy. When she sings, the Angels smile.
OMG! She’s so adorable! Just a sweetheart in every way. Sending love from New Orleans!❤️😊
God bless you Gina. So happy you’re back and happy your son in law is better ❤️
I love Italian people. They always make u feel so at home and welcomed. I grew up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood. My mom would send me to the corner store, yes very prevalent where I'm from, to pick up some of the homemade ravioli that the store owner's mother would make every day. She reminds me of her so much. That was back home in New Jersey where Italians always showed so much hospitality whether you were Italian or not, and we were not. Enjoy watching this channel so much.
Grandmas are the Best Cooks! I got the Ammmmazing Mexican cuisine down! Now I’m onto the yummy soulful Italian recipes!!
