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
Love it when Gina gets so absorbed into the singing that she stops cooking and starts performing; what an adorable treasure.
I don't care what nobody has to say, Grandma Gina is the sweetest thing on UA-cam....hands down! Love her spirit and recipes...
She's the best!
Amen!!!!!
You are 100% right!!

She is a real treasure..

Mama Gina! It is so nice to see you. Thank you for cooking and singing for us. You made my day. 🦋💖
❤️😋👍
You are such a sweetheart!!! I make this all the time! I love it! God bless you ❤
Nothing beats a sweet grandma who wants to show her love for everyone with delicious home cooked food. Across all cultures in all the world, that's universal. Thank you Grandma Gina.
I figured at my age I'd already have every kitchen gadget I'd ever need but I have to have that cheese grater.
She reminds me of my sisters that were ,twenty eighteen and fifteen years older then me
Oh my! I wrote my first comment before you sang “Mama”…you sang it beautifully! This is a song that we heard growing up, singing it to my wonderful Mother and Nonna! Hearing you sing it has brought tears to my eyes because those beautiful women are now passed away and I miss them every single day. Thank you so much, Gina, for every video you send to all of us because they bring so much comfort, familiarity and especially LOVE!! Blessings to you and your family! Grazie!
My mother is 89 and I hope she will live a bit more, but anyway i had tears to my eyes when Gina was singing with such love and feeling!
My Lord! She reminds me of my Angie aka (Angelina) she passed away 10 yrs ago, my own Mother passed in 2008 It sure was a treat when I seen her again. Thank you! Lord God! For her blessing so many with her presence 😘😍🙏
Gina, So good to see you. My Mother used to make this dish and we all loved it! You are a national treasure ❤God Bless
My mother would sing this song in her kitchen...such memories ❤️
Great show!! Pasta looks delicious! Most of all - love her sweetness!!! We need more ladies like her in our lives!!!❤️❤️❤️
I had a really bad day today, and I just opened up Facebook and saw that favorite Italian Grandma had put up a new video. I don't care what she's cooking, just her intro and smiling self made me feel instantly better!!! I love you so much! Now to see the rest of the video, and what amazing food you cook up today!
I hope your days have gotten better since posting this and continue to get better!

Gina I was thrilled to see you. I often think about you; so happy you are doing well.
Happy Mother’s Day to you and your family.
Broccoli and Pasta I make it often, memories of my Italian mama and daddy.
Look forward to more of you.
You are loved Gina ❤️
My Italian Grandmother used to make this when I was growing up and I loved it. Thank you, Gina and GOD bless you. Wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day!
I love the way the nutrients are not lost in the broccoli water, by using it to boil the pasta. Also very economical not wasting fuel or water or time. ❤
Mama Gina, I made this last week and it was so delicious. I love how the broccoli cooked down so that it was almost like a broccoli pesto. I only made a small portion but I wish I'd made the full recipe! Thanks for providing us with so many hours of good food and singing. I'm going through a very difficult time but watching you always makes me feel better 😊❤
Gina, it so nice seeing you! It looks like Spring has finally sprung! 😀
Your broccoli 🥦 pasta looks so good, not to mention, easy to make! Even older kids can make it! 😋
Love seeing your gold play button sitting where all the music happens! In your magical kitchen!
God Bless you and your sweet family Gina! ❤️
Luv me some mama Gina....ur singing is so relaxing...❤❤😊
Giiinaaaa, I missed you 😢 and I'm sooo happy to see and hear from you again 😊
Thank you for the great recipe and even more thank you for your beautiful singing about ..Mama... a super beautiful version in your mother tongue. Many thanks, Phil from Germany❤🙋♀️
Giiinaaaa, ich habe dich vermisst😢 und bin sooo froh wieder etwas von dir zu sehen und zu hören😊
Vielen Dank für das großartige Rezept und noch mehr Danke für deinen wunderschönen Gesang über ..Mama... eine super schöne Version in deiner Muttersprache. Herzlichen Dank, Phil aus Deutschland❤🙋♀️
Grandma Gina, you are truly one of God’s great gifts ❤ I love your beautiful spirit and smile…and your recipes! 😋
Hello how are you doing please send me friend request thank you😊
I could listen to her speak all day!! I LOVE it..
What a beautiful soul. I could watch her all day!!
Sono brasiliano e tu sei una bravissima nonna ❤ !
So happy to be honored with your singing! So lovely! Enjoy watching you cook and I learn so much from you! 🫂
Every time I watch Gina I'm taken back to my youth when the Italian side of my family was much much larger. Back then we always got together for celebrations or just for the sake of getting together. There's very little left of that old crew and times have certainly changed. Every time Gina reminisces about people who are long gone and stairs off forlorn, lost in those memories for a second, I get it. She takes me back with her every time. The memories of my large tight-knit Italian family are as magical as Gina's cooking. I can't thank you enough for compiling these videos.
Mama Gina you are the best. Keep making new dishes and never stop singing.
Gina, you look wonderful, you haven't aged a day❗
How wonderful the recipe is included in the description box!
God bless you, Gina and family!
Happy Mother’s Day Grandma Gina, you are a blessing to watch.
I’m Armenian and watching grandma Gina makes me realize how similar our cultures are: the body language, the spirit, love for music and cooking for the family with love and the family values as well.
She might be Calabrian or from southern Italy which seems to have a different genetic makeup then the north, not so say the south is better or the north’s pasts are less, but that there is regional influences from the north and from the south, the southern influences come from Arabia, Greek, Armenian, and Croatian influences! Dialects as well as customs how people cook, and behave differs from region to region, it’s the same as in the states, the southern states can have a certain charm that the north doesn’t possess despite American being a melting pot, the southern region usually have a slower pace of life in southern states, and that goes more with Italy since there is hills and valleys that are hard to get to, so a certain way of life is more preserved! Wow, it seems I went all over the place just to make a statement! Lmao my goodness
Dinner and a song😊 with a spoonful of Love ❤ Happy Mothers Day Mama Gina 🥰
So nice to see you on my UA-cam alert today,Miss Gina!!! We all love you and your recipes ❤ (and family)! Thank you for sharing broccoli and pasta recipe today. P.S. can never have enough cheese in my opinion! Thank you Mama Gina
Listening to Gina speak takes me back to my childhood. All the aunts in the kitchen carrying on in conversation. Man, I wish I was taught the language. God Bless You Gina, I can't wait to get this recipe in my belly.
Nonna Gina you are a ray of sunshine. How are you 88 years old? What a treasure you are. My favorite is your beautiful singing and your gorgeous genuine smile. Thank you for sharing another wonderful recipe 🩷
Ciao Gina, thank you for being on you tube!! I always tune in when I need my mama's sweet voice and recipes. You bring me back to when I was growing up and I was kneeling on my stool watching my mother cook and bake every day. She took care of the whole family. Sundays and Holidays were the best!
Grazie!!!
So good to see Gina again, healthy and singing and cooking. Made my mouth water. Such a treasure she is.
The EVOO in the Sprite bottle made me smile, along with your singing! Happy Mother's Day to every ones favorite Grandma.
Just like my grandma and older relatives, nothing ever went to waste. 😉
Born in Italy, came to Australia in 1964, I love Gina, she embodies my mum 100% , I follow her recipes which are identical to my mums. Love it
I go back to my grandma Pepe while I watch her cook and talk with that beautiful broken English.. she makes me cry . She's such a gift to me!! God bless you Gina!!!
I salute you grandma. Your recipes are not only authentic Italian but you do it with joy, love and humor. Very inspiring, fun and pleasant to watch you cooking. Thanks for this and other recipes. I'm your fan. Love all of your recipes. ❤😊
Oh my goodness Gina!! You are medicine to my heart! I am home sick with bronchitis, and you have made my day! We are watching you now. My mom is 91 and we watch you together. You bring happiness to all ages!! Please know you are greatly appreciate. Keep singing and cooking! Stacey and Mary from Los Angeles.
I pray you feel better soon. Big hug to you and your mom. Thank you for watching. God Bless.

Is she Calabrian? She isn’t just Italian, she is her regional dialect! Which is something to be proud of!
I am originally from the Puglia region.
Wow!!! The memories come flooding back of my nonna and my mom. Singing in the kitchen the old italian songs. I hope the joy of cooking for your family brings a song to everyones heart.
It was so wonderful to see you again, and to know you are doing so good. You bring a little Italian light into our lives. Thank you Gina for all your time you spend with us and for us.

Gina reminds me of my sweet mother-in-law who taught me all my Italian cooking. When she sang Mama I 😢... I'm addicted to her videos.

I love this recipe. My mother would make this on Friday night because we would abstain from meat. To this day, I still love to eat it. You bring back many happy memories from my childhood. Also love your new stove top and double ovens. The granite looks so much better than the darker one you had.
