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!
To those who complain that the video is too long: It's not just her recipes, it's also her talking, singing, just spending time with this beautiful lady that some of us desire and enjoy. I feel like I am right there in her kitchen with her. She reminds me of my grandmother...
Yes 😍👌👌
Gina is a breath of fresh air. Stay safe during this Covid-19. Love from Canada❤️
Don't change a thing
I don’t want the videos to end...I love hearing and watching her so much. X
Ginas videos are perfect, natural and educational in different ways. I feel always happy thinking abou grandma Gina❤️
The American dream: Immigrating here and leaving your beloved country, working hard labor, learning English and new way of life on the go as your children reap the benefits of your labor so that they can be great, keeping your heritage and traditions strong and passing them on . . . AND being 80+ years old with a youtube channel! All while singing, sharing, and being thankful.
I am a first generation American and I am so proud and supportive of people like Gina. My parents did all this as well (besides the youtube channel!). If you are reading this I hope you like and comment this video to show Gina your positive support.
Who in the world would give this lady a thumbs down....? The dishes she makes are genuine Italian. Are there other versions out there...? Yes. But hers will not disappoint ........... This lady and Pasquale { the other Italian cook } are simply the best out there on You-Tube. Get some of these dishes on your dinner table, and, .........watch how folks start showing up at the house......! This lady is GREAT. THANK-YOU for sharing your years of talents.
It's funny when people say she's using too much salt or too much this. Have you seen her? She looks pretty good to me ! So probably outlive most of us!
She looks damn good for 88 yrs old, anyone who thinks otherwise is not wrapped too tight curls ⚡💥⚡
Her tomatoes are fresh from the garden not from a can with added salt, you need to add salt for taste.
Obviously one can cut the salt as needed.
I will no longer buy the manicotti tubes in a box. I tried this recipe and it was outstanding. Husband loved it. I halved the recipe and it was perfect for my husband and I. We even had leftover for lunch. I love your videos. God bless you.
Aurea Camacho eu adoro a comida da señora Gina😘
I love when Gina cooks and sing, her accent make her special.
Absolute treasure!
Respect your elders and carry on their wisdom.
I’ve just binge watched 4 40+ minute videos of hers. Almost 3 hours lol. I could watch this lady all day.
Me too dude me too
Strainer
Plastic strainer
This woman is so wonderful and lovely. She's my favorite grandma that isn't my own anywhere. I love her recipes, but I could easily watch her just talking and telling stories all day. Bless her and her family.
100% she has a beautiful soul! God Bless🥰
She is my favorite Nana too! I adore her!
OK, so if I had to choose a dinner cooked by a celebrity chef, a four-star Italian gourmet chef, or an Italian Gramma like Gina, I'm taking the Italian Gramma ever time!
Amen to that !!!! I couldn't agree with you more.
Me too!
Yep
Mia nonna passed away before I was born. Gina is teaching me how to cook instead.
She worked as a Machinist. Very SMART LADY❤
SHE did a Man's Job in a Man's World. Whils't Cooking, Cleaning and working
.amore e rispetto✝️😇❤
WHO would give her a thumbs down?!!! She's adorable and so lovable! Much wisdom from our older generation that we need! SURE she, they ALL put way too much salt on everything... SO WHAT... Don't put any if you like. Adjust the recipe as you desire. Thanks for sharing her tips and wisdom with us all. Very good videos!!!
Probably the same people who downvoted her lasagna video. The comments in that one were ridiculous. Tearing her up because she made one of the lasagnas (she made two) with ricotta. She even said it's not how she would usually make it but some of her family likes it that way.
She represents everything that is good in a woman what a beautiful person you don't see this kind of lady around much hope she teaches all who see her what life is about the important things in life I just love her so much ❤️❤️
Totally Agree..Beautiful Soul!!!💜💜💜
Takes me back to my Grandmother Angeline. She taught me how to cook Italian. I love to listen to Gina's accent.
Nonna Gina you are such a blessing! My mother never let me in her kitchen and my grandmother wasn't living so I had to do it all on my own, cooking. I feel like a little girl watching your videos, so happy as if you were my Nonna. God bless you always you are such an angel!
Grandma make everything from scratch and the labor of love while doing it ,grandmas are the best.
I just love grandma Gina!!! She's adorable!!! How fortunate her family is to have her!!! God bless you Gina😘
Finally I worked out what she making I had hard time to understand what she mean but thanks for recipes
גינה את הכי טובה בבישול וגם נחמדה
They are so blessed to have her! Absolutely love grandma Gina, her cooking, her story times of growing up and her singing ❤️ but she makes my mouth water something shocking 😂 then I have to eat my cooking 😕 and yes, God bless Grandma Gina 😘
Gina reminds me of my mother who made all these dishes she makes. My mother passed away ten years ago. Gina makes look so easy and doable. I enjoy watching her cook. She puts so much love into her cooking. Thank you Gina for sharing your recipes, like my mother the recipes are in your head
This is a beautiful lady and I am so happy. I found her on the Internet. She makes your heart feel so good. She is like a little angel. Oh my goodness what a joy she brings to people and how smart she is about cooking. She teaches science, so clearly exactly what to do and the measurements are exact and she does not waste anything. She is like a little gift from heaven thank you Gina you’re so sweet I just love you.❤️
You are a breath of fresh air. I find myself calling you Nonna. I am always smiling watching you cook. God bless.
Thank you, Favorite Son-in-law, for recording these priceless treasures of food, stories, songs, and recipes. Thank you.
Baskerville Bee I wonder if he ever anticipated the overwhelming piles of love she’s gathered from all over the world. ❤️
@@ginamac9112
Probably not, but I'll bet he's now thankful for the matchless legacy that can be valued by thousands for years to come.
You tube needs a love button
@@ginamac9112
😊
I've never seen Manicotti made that way.
HOW EXCITING!! I learn so much from you Mama Gina.
And that voice!! I could listen to you all day. I would sooooo love a video of you just telling your life's story. What you did in Italy, How you and your husband came to America, about your lives since you've been here, about your family, etc. It would be such an incredible story from such an incredible lady. I do hope you'll consider it. So many of us love you and like me, hang on every single word! 😊 (Your story would be as amazing as you are.)
Sending you much love and admiration ❣❣
May God bless and keep you close.✝✝❤
I could listen to her all day.
Dear Gina,
I absolutely your attitude of singing beautiful Italian songs.
I just found your page on CZcams, God bless you and your family and I agree with you God bless America.
I have been living in New York city for 50 years and still here, thanks God.
All your Recepies are awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing such delicious treasures from the land love the must Italy!
Ciao Bella Gina
Sincerely
Maria Teresa Jarquin
Would you please give this lady a hug for me ? This lady is what made America great ! Hugs and Kisses !!!!!!!!
She is an Italian woman and she, like many cooks around the world, have made Italy famous all over the world for its extraordinary cuisine🤗
4:57 - Love how you teach people, when adding water, to pour into one of the emptied jars, and then that into the 2nd jar, to get the last of the good stuff off the jars' sidewalls - I hate how they don't do that, and how they 'lazy scrape' on TV food shows. That's not the way our moms and grammas' did it in the 'Waste Not, Want Not' generations! Love you, Grandma!
Well, any crushed tomatoes are usually too thick for cooking, so it serves two purposes.
You're so right, I learned the same from my parents and grandparents too.
It is almost 1AM in the morning - and I am craving Italian food right now...
That's the problem with late night viewing !!!!!
When she started making the Manicotti from scratch I fell in love!
Now that's REAL manicotti, with crespelle -- that is how they're done! Brava e mangia! 🍝
My husband whose family immigrated from Italy as well says "finally " someone who makes it right!!😁 He is a Capone
I love this lady. She make miss my grandma who was straight from Itlaly and cooked all the same recipes!! Keep going grandma.. we love you!
I've got Granma Gina's Manicotti in the oven right now - it smells delicious - can't wait to try it! Thank you, Grandma Gina, for walking and singing me through the process! You made it easy and so enjoyable! You are precious. God bless you and your family!!!
Everyone needs a Nona in their life. Yours is a real treasure! Many thanks for sharing her with us!
Gina is the most beautiful hearted woman and you can tell how much love she puts Into her cooking. Would love to be part of a family like this, so much fun and love. Great channel.... I’m a instant fan for life! 🙋🏼♀️💕
"love to be part of a family like this" ...you are ! just have to make it that way , heres your lessons
I love Gina….I miss my grandma & mom….my grandma was from Italy & to hear Gina sing & talk I feel like I’m spending time with my grandma. Your cooking is truly Italian. I tried your zeppole and forget about it! My family loved it. I am 100% Italian and are very grateful that I found you. 😘🇮🇹♥️.
Grandma Gina, watching your video is the highlight of my day. You are amazing, love listening to your singing and stories and the step-by-step process in making your dish. Just want to reach in and give you a big hug. Thank you so much, keep being young@heart and learning how to make your Italian dishes, which is my FAV dish ever.
I just did a 2 day marathon watching all your videos!! Not only are you a great cook, but a beautiful person. Your family is very lucky to have you!
Is it just me or does Gina's singing make everyone happy. I hear the Hallelujah and I just have to smile.
Stop complaining and enjoy. You can learn alot from people's stories. That's the problem in this world. I love this wonderful woman and I can listen to her all day.
I LOVE to listen to the stories of the elderly
Indeed ,it's not only about food.Spending time together above all
How fortunate we Italians are to have had Nona's like Gina. God bless you Gina. You bring back wonderful memories of my childhood. Jeanette
It's impossible not to smile when you hear, "Hi! I'm Gina!" 💖
Jae Bee better say : I’m a Ginaaa
I like hearing her say "that's enoughfa". 🌷💖🌷
I'd like to hear Gina's stories of italy during the war. The scarcity. The food that they cooked.
I just found this, and I am crying big tears. I had grandmothers like this. I miss them so much. I love that there are still grandmothers like this and that the modern times cant take them away. I hope they never go away and there will always wil become such women for every generation of humankind.
For all you haters with your negativity Gina is on her way to a million subscribers and has already surpassed 1,000,000 views with this video alone. 👏
Well done Gina!
Mama Gina was born in 1935!!?? No way does she look 84!! 70 at best. I hope I can go like she does at 75!! Love her!!
Watching Mrs.Gina cook make me miss my grandma cooking.
Nona Gina…. Can you adopt me??? I have spent hours watching your videos while in the hospital. You are just a joy to watch and listen to and I can’t wait to try some of your recipes soon! You remind me so much of this woman I met in Rome with your spunk and infectious energy. I love hearing your stories and hearing your singing. And on a side note, your English is great so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen and making us feel like we are a part of your family learning all your best family recipes. Blessings to you!
I never got to spend much time with my grandma. I missed out on a lot. She was wonderful and a great cook. My grandma was not Italian but she was Cherokee. I love these kind of videos. I feel like I’m right there. Thank you
What it must of been like, to grow up in your household with all the wonderful cooking. It brings a smile to my face and makes me hungry.
I love Gina. So genuine! What a treasure. I truly enjoy your recipes and learning a lot. But Gina is even more enjoyable. How lucky her family is to have her.
Hell
Tyu
Love Gina she reminds me so much of my late Grandmother 🌹
She is awesome.. Her children were lucky to have a mama that put that quality of home cooked meals in their bellys.. Very lucky.. I'm sure she has been cooking her entire life with her mom or grandmother.. She is a true dynamo! Keep up the great vids.. and thank you!!
I never knew Manicotta was a ricotta/mozzarella stuffed crepe baked in pasta sauce ... and now i know what I am going to master before my own family gets together for our end of year get together ... Grandma's Manicotti!
Since the beginning of your channel, Grandma's cooking has brought me many smiles and a real love of home cooked Italian.
May God bless this little grandma.
You learn more from this gentle lady than you do with the grand cooking shows ,,,they don't spend the time showing you how to do things any more ....alton brown used to ....God bless GINA
Thank You dear person behind the camera. We like hearing about Grandma Gina her life and family. Gina had a life like many of our Grandmas and Great Grandmas. Will we be blessed with meeting you? Adorable ❤
She’s the best! My kids don’t have grandparents and so they don’t know just how special and magical this generation is, or how important cooking with your grandma is. I am happy to share my kitchen and passion for food with my kids and hope when I become a grandmother ( many years in my future- my kids are 11&7) I will share my kitchen and love of food and family with them. Thank you for your home recipes and for welcoming us all in to your kitchen. I love scratch cooking and I love your guidance.
May you make many many more! ☺️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
I have been watching many of your videos , dear Gina and I have LIKED them all , this one for the second time ! Simply , I love to be in your company , company I miss from my gran and mom .So , I stick to the treasure I found in You
Thank you
How beautiful you are, Gina! Thank you so much for your Italian recipes, I appreciate them so much. I love your singing too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful character 💗 you have an amazing soul, god bless you miss Gina
How blessed your family is to have you, your precious recipes and your memories saved forever to pass down through the generations. You are a true gift Gina!
Something about the way she cracks eggs was so warming to my heart. I crack eggs the same way my Grandma taught me. I wonder if this sweet Nonni learned how to crack eggs from her Grandma, who learned from her Grandma, who learned from her Grandma and so on. It’s very heartwarming to for me.
I love how Grandma Gina scrapes the spoons and jars and doesn't waste. How she uses her fingers. It is the sign of someone who has a love for food and cooking and making her family happy! 😊
Such a beautiful lady. The quintessential immigrant.. very graceful and appreciate what America is all about 💖 " GOD BLESS AMERICA" .. She appreciates the JOB she had while watching her children grows. COOKING HER ❤️ OUT. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
I love the little magic hand that quietly pulls the things off the counter. God bless you, neatness angel, that helps Mama Gina.
She is "GOLD" cherish her....
One of the premier cooks on CZcams. The lady is a master of Italian cuisine. Much respect.
Thank you Gina. I can’t wait to make these. You do such a great job and it looks so delicious I love your accent so much. It takes me back in time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Gina, I am a senior citizen (70 years old this month,) who loves you and your recipes! I have made your sausage and peppers, and your manicotti -- both were delicious! In fact, I am once again preparing your manicotti for my family when they visit this weekend. I enjoy watching you so very much -- and hope you and your family are well and happy. God bless . . . Kathy
Hello Gina, I must start by saying I am 100% Italian first generation here... I just made the manicotti... OMG the best I've ever eaten in my life thank you so much for the recipe it will be my family Tradition... Caio
She has a great personality & energy. I wish she were my nona
I know a lot Italian people. I love their passion and nostalgic in the kitchen. Especially this lovely grandma ❤️
Greetings from Germany and all the best!
My grandmothers had passed before I was born. Watching this reminds me of what I missed. Thank you for sharing your love of family, cooking, and being you. You wiping off the dishe rims to keep them clean is one of my habits. No rim scrubbing for us. You are going to do whatever you do the very best you can. Your singing brought joy to my heart. I will be a fan forever. Love to you and yours may you always be blessed. You are a rare jewel.
Gina Marisa, she is 83 and very strong and healthy she knows what she is doing,.GOD BLESS her, she looks like she is 50,salt to your taste,
Thank you so much for passing on your love of cooking. I especially enjoy your singing and the way you teach. You are a blessing!
My grandmother used to talk to me the same way. I understood everything she said. Her broken English is the same. Her Italian words are the same dialect.
Watching her allows me to spend some time with my grams. Miss her so much.
Your grandmother must be from the same area my grams lived in Italy.
Unfortunately I don’t speak Italian. My parents always said, we are in America now. We speak English. It was the 50s and it was frowned upon if one spoke their native tongue. It was deemed disrespectful not to embrace the American way.
It was a stupid notion. I’m second generation Italian. My mom born here to parents that immigrated from Italy in the early 1900s.
I'm 58 so I've seen my share of home cooking shows, this beautiful soul has stolen my heart forever, she is truly a treasure to watch make all these fabulous recipes. I've had the pleasure of making a few my family absolutely loves them. Ok!! I hope her family knows the love that this beautiful Jewel puts in every meal she prepares, thank you Gina for all the time and for sharing all these wonderful recipes. Love from my house to yours!
God bless you Gina.... your such a blessing to me and you bring me happiness whenever I watch your videos... I’ve tried many of your recipes and my family loves everyone of them! May you always keep cooking and singing your songs!
I love this lady. Reminds me of my grandma that passed. I could listen to her talk all day and she has an awesome voice. Recipes are very well done and displayed. Hope she goes on forever. Made my day. XO mama gina
Italian 🇮🇹 food (homemade and prepared) 🍝🍕 is one of the most comforting foods. What I love is how straightforward it is to make, and how much joy it brings to the heart ❤️ and tummy.
Thank our Creator for people like Gina who still cook traditional family recipes to share with us all.
In times of losing hope (like nowadays), I stare and watch Nonna Gina's videos and my heart is suddenly filled up with joy and a delicious sensation of home!! I miss my beloved Grandma who left us 04 years ago (I hope your sons and grandsons take care and love you much)...
I wish all women could cook like this.. She's a wonderful lady who loves to cook for her family.. Praise God for the food..
Thank you Gina! Nonna Gina is the real deal!
Grandma Gina, you are such a lovely woman and I wish I could give you a big hug for being such a great cook, a great singer and for all of the love and passion you have for your Italian recipes, all the way to your family and from your Italian country back to sharing everything to us!!!!I love watching you cook and this recipe is one of my favorites and I wanted a bite so bad with you because it looked fabulous and SO, SO GOOD❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
What a big heart you have to help cook for your family. I don't know how many hours you spent making your sauce/gravy as well as the pasta, Before you were able to start putting it together but I am like you, I start a few days ahead when I make my sauce and pasta and then I put my Dish together on a DIFFERENT DAY!!
It's just too much if you try to do it all in one day especially if you want your kitchen cleaned up before you dying together and if you're going to have other dishes with your main pasta dish. I love listening to you talk and especially I love listening to you sing when you cook or bake either one doesn't matter to me I just love listening to you sing. I have shared your recipes with my sisters, and we miss our grandmother very much, so we have decided we are adopting you as our grandmother♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❣️
This nice lady is gold...she knows everything very well. She is very precious and great too. She is so lovely, kind and clean. She speaks English very well. I wish to see her.
You children and grandchildren take of her well and visit her more than just once a week.
I love you Mrs Gina and I you wish health and prosperity.
Maggie from California
OMG! I made this and it turned out so good that my family now refuses to eat the store bought frozen manicotti. LOL! I don't know whether to thank you or beat your bottom for making this extra work for me. We love you Gina.
CB Lee YOU would never be elder's bottom, nor make reference in jest:/
She is wonderful! Her dishes look very tasty and she explains so you can understand and follow easily.
Oh!!!!!Gina, You are traditional very good cook. I love the dishes you presented us.I really admire you.
I made this manicotti yesterday for the first time. Thankyou Gina ! It is sooo delicious! I’ll be making it many more times.
I grew up around lots of Italian-Americans and their home-cooking. It's clear that Grandma Gina is the hard-core real thing. I can taste the food just watching her, and it's the best of the best!! Yuuuuuummmmmm !!!!
Jon Dana Right! Me too.😋🤗
I could watch this beautiful woman cook all day long...she reminds me so much of my own grandmother...thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us Ms. Gina!!
I stumbled upon Grandma Gina's youtube channel accidentally. I decided to watch it and see what the scoop was. I am so happy I did. I never realized how much of a TREASURE I was missing out on.
Not anymore though. I quickly hit the subscribe button and have been watching her ever since. My family and I love Italian cooking, and thanks to Gina, we now enjoy a little taste of Italy in our kitchen.
I love to cook and I have been searching for good Italian recipes for many many years. My search is finally over. I have watched every one of her videos from start to end. They are informative, entertaining and most of all, DELICIOUS.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge Grandma Gina. I send you my best wishes.
