FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. It is in the province of Foggia in the Puglia region of southeast 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 enjoys making food for her family in the same old fashion ways as she was taught by her mother and grandmother in Italy, and also new things she has subsequently learned from family and friends in America. She also enjoys 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 and behind the scenes?
Grandma Gina’s retired son-in-law, Nick, does the filming, editing, production, and channel management. Her daughter, Maria, helps with food preparation, kitchen setup and fan support. Also, Grandma Gina usually has one or two grand-kids in the kitchen to help.
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! - Навчання та стиль

Our dear sweet Italian chef is back with another recipe that we can cook for our family. We miss you when you are absent from Utube. Stay well, you are a joy to behold.
I have been binge watching her vids almost all day. Hours I have spent watching. Started off with a search for ‘homemade pizza’ & landed here. I’m thankful. I’ve learned so many great things and have saved so many great recipe vids from #1 to make. Thank you for sharing your cooking & skills with us. Making pizzas tomorrow. Sooo wish me luck. Lol.

Happy birthday to your sweet daughter…it was so nice to see you together. I love mussels in red sauce also… god bless xox
Nonna Gina reminds me of my Grandma so much I watch her and it takes me back. Many memories come to me…even the singing in the kitchen …. mine would hum more than sing and if she was getting nervous about something she would just hum a little louder ( I learned this when I drove her somewhere and maybe went to fast) Enjoy every minute of this treasure Gina’s Famiglia…and thank you for sharing her with us
Good-Day, Gina(Grandma), You may never know how much I enjoy your recipes and video's. And how you remind me of my Grandma speak and All.

Another wonderful video!
We've been eating and have loved shellfish and seafood our entire lives, often harvesting our own. We check the individual shells by giving them a little tap. Often times they close right up, then we soak mussels, clams, and oysters in salted water to let them purge sand.
My grandfather was the first in our family born here. (His older brother was born in castelvecchio subequo, in the Abruzzi region. Grandpa was a judge and sponsored a young man who came over in the 40's Albino Volpi started a butcher and seafood shop in Ashtabula Ohio.
Sadly, Albino, now in his 90's had a fall just before Christmas and is now in a nursing home. First Christmas that we couldn't get our feast of seven fishes supplies from him. The butcher shop, which had been given to his son, also closed for other reasons.
What a pleasant surprise every time I see your post. My sweet Gina, you make my day. I continue to marvel at the simplicity and genuine approach to your recipes. You make the world a better place. I wish I could give you a hug. You made my day.
Maribeth from Naples.♥️

Love it!
I used to watch my Nonno clean mussels that we picked from the ocean. He would store them with seaweed on top in the refrigerator. They had barnacles and their beards. He scraped them clean with a dull paring knife and scrubbed them. Good quality Atlantic Blue Mussels will always be orange when cooked. These look amazing!
Hi Grandma Gina!! Elated you are back cooking new things! Every time I have had mussels they were "nasty" tasting. Your recipe sounds so good. We can only get frozen ones here in Northewest Ohio. Keep cooking. Love you. And Happy Birthday to your Daughter!! Sing your heart out!!! Love it!!!
Just love her singing and cooking.hugs patsy
Dee Lish Grandma...we love you!
Gina, you are so loved! I love the way you say "it's so good" when you taste your dish at the end!

Grandma, every time I see you I love you a little more.
Thanks for sharing your Grandma with us! 😍❤️
When I say I love this Grandma, I love this Grandma, here I am a black southern woman and I connect with the love you put in your food. I remember my grandmother would sing gospel music when she would cook our Sunday dinners and they were truly divine. Please, keep cooking and please keep singing. You truly warm my soul! Many blessings be upon you!
Looks lovely Gina.... I was expecting a small glass of white wine in the sauce too! 🥰
Must add wine 🍷
