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
And to everyone complaining on how much cheese she's using, I'm sure if someone was cooking their own dish they would use more or less of an ingredient. This is how she makes hers, I'm sure her family loves it as is. The beauty of recipes is that you can use more or less of toppings and certain ingredients.
This dish has cheese in the name! It's a perfect amount of too much cheese!
People love to complain never hv nothing good to say I love her and her cooking there will always be hater I really can’t stand stupid people just let the lady be herself
She is awesome n good great I tried her receipe it’s great
@@sandraseeraj3151 ... I'm sure her children read the posts first because some people are so vile. They have no life so the slink around the internet attempting to hurt folks but they are the ones who look really stupid.
On point. Like she says "this is howa I lika some people maka like they lika" Besides cheese will melt and spread. I'm going to make it like hers. Can't wait!
I love ❤️ mozzarella cheese.
What kind of mental defective gives Nonna Gina a thumbs down? I really feel sorry for you. What happened in your life that you cannot see the joy of someone who just wants to make her family happy through her cooking? This is real life; a family around a table, talking to each other, enjoying good food. Not your cell phone, or iPad. Not being an internet troll. Get a life. Have a higher purpose.
You right
She doesn't deserve that
She's deserve all the love 😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍this for nonna Gina .
Mitch McConnell, Republican.
I bet someone clicked it by mistake.
Agree with you. Delysia Ekanayake from Sri Lanka
Haha, it was probably her sister who thinks she's a better cook😂🇮🇹 just have to understand the Italian mentality🍷🇮🇹
I’m so distracted by the cutenesses of this Italian Granma I forgot to follow the cooking directions ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Please don’t ever stop...I get so much out of your videos... you are real... and your food is real... so I repeat... please don’t ever stop... love your singing...so much love and sense of family... America needs that now more than ever before...!!!
87 people also dislike Teddy Bears.
Why a thumb down?
Unreal.
This lady is a gem and deserves a thumbs up !
Because they are punks screwing around. NO ONE messes with "MY" Grandma Gina! LOL.
for real Right on!
I love her!
I live alone and I have a pretty bad spine injury that I’m trying to work through- some nights the pain is so bad, I’m watching almost in tears from pain, but these wholesome family videos help me relax -
So you tell Nona Gina - she helps me keep my mind.
So thank you.
Well done.
🙏🏻🤗😇
I will keep you in my prays.... God Bless You
This lovely old lady is 84 years old in 2019.
Born in 1935!
This form of energy and enthusiasm is certainly a gift from God.
She most certainly is a gift from God. And I applaud her family for sharing her traditions and Italian secrets.
Beautiful, beautiful comment 💗💗💗
I’d love to be here Neighbor. Jersey I’m not sure of. Would certainly be an extremely hard choice as I live in the Mountains of Kentucky!
her.. lol 😊
Also it's hospitality and generosity for her children...Those normal qualities are quickly disappearing in modern people....I dated a cute woman for a month 4 years back
(age 51, she did not work). I took her out to eat 4 times, I then said to her "Don't you think it's time you cooked dinner for us one night?"....She the started ranting like an animal (Ya know it's HOT!!!), she obviously had air conditioning....Then RANTED she'll "do it tomorrow" (which I no longer wanted). I already knew from her prior hijinks that she wasn't going to answer the phone the following day and she PROVED ME RIGHT. That was THE END of that lowlife....
Hi! I am a black African American wife & mother of 3. I love your recipes. They are authentic and actually healthier for my family. Thank you! Grazie!
I've never wanted to meet someone as much as I would like to meet this lady
The grandchildren are so lucky to have this experience in their lives.
I want to thank Nonna Gina's children for sharing her with us. I thank you so very much!
Absolutely love watching Gina. She has such technic and explains everything so well in her cute broken English. Thank you Gina for sharing your delicious recipes with us. Love you and God bless you xoxo
Amen. What a great idea they had and how generous they are to share lovely Gina, her recipes, stories and singing with us. A Blessing for sure.
Brava Gina per la tua cucina come per la fede che hai e la tua bella voce intonata e Dio ti benedica Anna (Maria)
When I can’t find her I’m disappointed . I love her recipes and hv made several of them. I’d love to have her as my grandma! My beloved grands are in heaven.

They all loved it! God bless her heart she’s amazing
Thank you for sharing your recipes and showing us how you prepare each dish.
It's such a pleasure watching this beautiful grandma cook! Loved her singing even though I didn't understand the words . So sweet that she remembers her grandmother 's songs! God bless her!

Stay safe Grandma during this Covid-19 virus
Anyone who has sat at a kitchen table and eaten this beautiful woman's cooking is truly blessed.
If I need something to soothe my soul I come and look for this lovely grandma - I want to know her recipes, her cooking methods and just her joie de vivre - I love her accent (I’m English) - I contrast and compare what I have cooked previously but am always inspired with the simple yet straight forward comfort food made with love 🙏
she steals my heart ❤️ love watching, thank you
Mi Ci You are not the only one . She is a love ❤️
I am making along side of you today. From Woodbridge,Ontario
So adorable love watching her cook food I like to eat . God bless her.
I love your Nonna. I was a skinny poor mixed race kid in Newark N.J. and I always made sure I had Italian friends. I would hang in the kitchens, get yelled at, do dishes, sweep, what ever it took to make and eat this food. They would be like who is this kid lol. They would say you so skinny, your Momma dont feed you and she actually did, but I'd say no..I ate a whole lot of love. I still make Sunday gravy. And the kids still come. Tell her hi from Canada and lots of love.
A big, ThankYou!! to your camera man for taking the time to record and help preserve these recipes which also allow us to relive precious memories. Blessing to you & your loved ones.
I am not Italian but my husband is. My mother in law taught me much about Italian cooking. She has sadly passed. I miss her. You remind me of her as she taught me how to cook Italian food. . Love it 💕
This is my most favorite show on all of CZcams. I love to watch especially when I'm stressed and it is such a comfort and pleasure to watch. May God bless you and keep you in health, happiness for a very long life Grandma Gina.
Better words have never been said.
I've grown attached to this grandma, she can cook. nobody loves Italian like a Texan
I could watch Gina cook all day. This is food for the soul.
I love Italian food and who better to show us how to do it,than this lovely nonna!❤
She's adorable! She cooks, she prays, she sings ! How can you not love this woman!! Keep those recipes comin' Gina!! And thank you!!!!
My wife and I are really looking forward to your canning videos for tomatoes! Now we know when to expect it, sometime after September. So good to see you Gina, and your son. We love your singing!!!!!! Peace be with you!
She cooks so neatly. I love grandmas from anywhere in the world they’re all gems!
You are officially my grandmother since mine is gone. I love your channel.
If you ever feel depressed or need somebody to be with put this little Italian lady on and she will make you feel so good about yourself I call her the happy Italian cooker
This woman is an absolute treasure, not only for the food she makes, but for the beautiful person that she is. God bless you, Grandma!
I love it, she makes food into a celebration of joy, The way it should be.
Her children and grandkids hit the jackpot with her. I love her recipes.
There's nothing like a grandmother's love and a grandmother's cooking. Mrs. Gina puts a smile on your face.
There’s only 2 kinds of people in this world , Italian s and people that wish they were ! Bella Nona !
I just love her..she is so much like my Nona..at 68 n all the aunts uncles grandparents n my parents gone. She always brings my mind back to those weekly Sunday dinners..
Those 2 hour dinners when everyone talked their heart out❤❤❤
Complaints about how much cheese she uses??? Are you kidding! Use whatever you want. She is doing it her way. Do it your way. She knows her way is delicious to her and her family. I wouldn’t change a thing.
grandma gina is not only a good cook but she is good to watch
I made the chicken parmigiana just how she showed in the video, and it was perfect, perfect, perfect! My mother and grandmothers' have passed, so I thank you on behalf of all the motherless daughters out there!
This lady is the real deal, having had the good fortune of growing up in a neighborhood full these type of people and eating the most amazing food for most of my life. The one ingredient that all of these special cooks have that the others do not is “love” which is the biggest most important part of the meal. When you eat something prepared with love you are blessed.
Ray, thank you for recognizing the main ingredient in Italian cooking.
You can see she's been doing this for a hell of a long time God love her.
Watching Grandma Gina is just good for the soul :-)
If you ever feel depressed or down put this little Italian lady on she will Bake you feel so good about everything I called her a happy Italian Cooker
You give us joy and love. Your soul is full of love. Thank you for sharing this life time with us and all your knowledge 🙏. Grateful, many blessings Grandma Gina
Gina is a gem... wish my Nana was still here God bless
She is such a beautiful lady. Love watching her cook. And the food looks so good. What a blessing she is. We need this kind of joy in our hurting world. ❤️
big chicken breasts. thought it was small turkey breasts
@@afazi55 When I go to the butcher they are never the same size...Sometimes one breast is one pound, sometimes only a half pound....
I would love to have coffee with you Mrs. Gina and listen to your stories, memories. I am sure you have a lot of them.
I love you gina i am 75 yrs old and i love wstching you.from tdad
I lost my family when I was real young. Im half Italian. I love to cook. There something about the way speak and how you cook and what you say and how you sing to the food and all the divinity that is you that takes my DNA home. Thanking you and Blessing to you Eternally.
I'm a 54 year old middle TN country girl and love watching you cook and sing! It is such a joy to watch you prepare meals for your family! Bless you and please keep cooking ❤️
Dios and Ave Maria bless you grandma Gina! We love you from a Mexican family in California ❤
Stupendous rendition of this dish. Indulgent, yes. Delicious, yes. Transcendent, oh yeah! There should be a plaque placed in the kitchen where Gina creates these icons of Italian-American cooking so lovingly and authentically. It's all in the taste, and I'm confident this must taste divine. Thank you for the singing segment at the end. She has so much life in her and it's energizing to see her share it with us. Bless!
We love you grandma! Keep it going in the kitchen!
I love you grandma. i just smile watching you. Thank you for making the world a bit brighter and happier.
LET HER USE HER HANDS!! I can see she wants to! My grandma always used her hands...Love the videos KEEP POSTING! She is wonderful!
Authentic Italian food. Made from the heart. Thank you for sharing.
They best cook's in the the world are those old school grandma's that don't use measurements I would pay them $$$$$ over any 5 star Restaurant . You can't by love , and feel it and taste it in the food.
Great to find you, Grandma❤ Now, I can cook authentic Italian food! I will make chicken parmigiana following your recipe. Thank you so much! Stay beautiful & healthy! Best regards from the Philippines❤
I love the way you cook and I love your stories. You are a real Italian Nona. God bless you.
This is the greatest show on CZcams. It’s been the hit of my quarantine. Thank you. “Like uh diss!”
Yes she is funny I was watching a few day ago when she made lasagna talks about when she came to America with 4 kids she was 35 n she always blessing America for the opportunity
I am an immigrant I came here in December 27 th 1995 with 200 USD a visa n my son was 2 years old n I made it in America

I love when you sing my Grandma did the same thing she loved to cook like you do your family is very lucky to have you , Love Debbie
I just love when you sing, it adds to your shows
Thank you Gina.
I love her wonderful spirit and her beautiful Italian accent! she cooks with skill, care, and love! I know she's irreplaceable to her family! makes me miss my grandma and Grannie! both were great cooks as well.
I live in Oklahoma. I watch at least one episode of your show every night before I go to sleep. Sometimes I watch 2 or 3. I love your delicious looking food, your beautiful kitchen, your wonderful singing, & most of all Heavenly Miss Gina! You are a very special lady! Stay well!
I love a lot of Mozzarella cheese on my food. Gina, you should have your own cooking show and show everyone the ropes on cooking nice dishes that you’ve made. Word up. Thanks you for cooking delicious and healthy meals with your family, Queen Gina❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👑👑🙏🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
She is soooooo precious🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Grandma from one to you! You did great! I enjoy watching and learning how to cook good Italian food from you. I stayed in Napoli and in Palermo for a very short while and I have never found anyone so hospitable as the Italian peoples.
I want to thank the family for sharing her videos, but I hope they realize how precious these will be once she is gone. My grandma never taught me her recipes, and now this is as close as I get. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Love Nonna Gina ..,and her singing 😂❤
Gina, watching you makes me feel as though my grandmother is still with me.
I love your beautiful smile, you make me so happy.
Thank you,for sharing your recipes!
Welcome back Nona I’ve missed you awfully x great recipe
Hey Nona guess what I’m cooking for dinner tonight? Yep this . It’s already in the oven, I’m going to serve it with spaghetti! Is that right one never knows
Love ya to the moon and back
England needs you 💕🌹
yes spaghetti is perfect, add a green salad and you are all set..... enjoy! Buon-a-Petitti
I admire Gina so much! She works so hard and cheerfully makes great food. She teaches us so well, step by step - little bit by little bit. Bravo!
She says her kids are busy working and everything. Well, my mother lived to be 87 and I visited her quite a bit. But, after she passed I always thought I should have visited more. There is no love like a mother's or a grandmother's. Happy new year Gina!
Thank you Grandma, for your delicious food and your songs
Your family is lucky to have you Signora Gina.
Oh my goodness Gina!!! I made this tonight while I had your video playing. It was easy to pretend you were in the kitchen with me... It was the best I have had since my time in Italy!!! My husband and I LOVE your videos! We watch at least one every night (we love to repeat them because we learn something new each time). Your spirit and your stories make my heart happy! Blessings to you and your family!
I just love Nona Gina. She inspires me to do real cooking not play freezer roulette at the super market. God bless you Nona
I’m addicted to watching her. What a joy it would be to have her as your mother!
There are no words to describe how delicious that looks! Thank you for the recipe, Gina.
Copied you're recipe to the T, and then added a minor twist to the recipe to suit my southern born and bred family. Everyone was raving about it, and couldn't wait to have it again. You're out here doing God's work, thank you so much!
Her style reminds me of my dad's cooking... garlic n cheese for almost all receipes, he loved cooking n looks like Nona Gina does too... God bless her energy 🙏 prayers for a long n healthy life 🦋
I love watching your videos. I remember cooking with my grandma-canning tomatoes and other vegetables, and making Sunday dinner. She passed away at 101 years old. Watching you cook reminds me so much of her. Bless you!
Grandma Gina needs more subscribers! She's the best
I love the cooking lessons from Gina. The way of life, family, and the foods that Mediterranean countries eat are so very good for you. Wish I had known more about this before my heart problems. A four way bypass, I am told by my heart surgeon, and Cardiologist it is possible to possibly reverse cholesterol, etc. Hopefully people pay attention, and will help prevent and treat. Osteoporosis, Type 2 Diabetes, Strokes, Cholesterol, Heart Problems, and Types of Arthritis, Cancers, and live a happier healthier life. Thank you Ma'am.
Gina makes everything look completely doable. So calm, simple and perfect. Makes you want to try everything she cooks. So delicious.
Is it just me? Can’t stop thinking about my grandma:)
I love watching her. Her recipes are back to basics which I also love. The way cooking was meant to be. Her singing is a pleasure and whoever is videoing is doing a great job. Thanks Gina for your time and skills
I miss my Mom soooo much. I have tears in my eyes as I type. I couldn't make it throught this the entire song at the end. geeze im missplelling everying..thing. .......
I'm not Italian, I'm French actually. But I have 4 children who I want to always remember me for my good cooking and hospitality. So I'm learning all I can from you. That way, one day I can be as great a grandma as you are! Wonderful cooking and even more wonderful personality you have. What a joy to watch.
I have learned so much on this channel. To be taught how to cook authentic Italian food is priceless. Thank you Gina, you are a treasure.
Such a beautiful soul. Such great cooking! If everyone had a nonna like Gina, the world would be a better place.
I could watch Nonna Gina just to hear her beautiful voice bless The lord!
The most impressive thing about Gina making this is clean hands. I would have had a mess everywhere. I am going to make this. Bless Gina for sharing her gifts. I see a lot of young people that can’t cook. They grow up on take out food. Such a shame. Gina can teach future generations. Gina is a great chef patient teacher( this is how I like it, you make it the way you like it) and gifted singer. Graze Gina for everything ❤
i love her she remines me of my grandma
She is waaaaaaay too adorable!
This dish is amazing just like grandma!
I adore you!! Can you adopt a 63 year old woman? 😋
I love Grandma Gina, when I was growing up I wanted an Italian mother-in-law in order to learn how to cook Italian food, which I love. Since I did not get a mother-in-law, I have adopted her and I am learning how to make the recipes. As I speak Spanish I understand her English/Italian really well. Continued blessings and health to her and the entire family. What a blessing to have her for so long, congrats, a big hug Mama Gina, I love you.......
My chicken parmigiana came out delicious although I made my own different sauce. Thank you beautiful Gina. Keep singing please.
