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! - Навчання та стиль
This message is not for Mama Gina, but for the Son-in-Law and those behind the scene that are helping this woman to do what she loves. Psychologically you are helping her stay healthy and this is helping her mind stay sharp. By doing the many dishes, she remembers the many good memories of when she was younger, and that alone makes her feel good. What a blessing she is to you and the memories she's leaving behind are so precious. So please as long as Mama Gina can and wants to cook please let her. This is what's keeping her going. I enjoy watching her and I hope that when I get to her age I'll have my family helping me and encouraging me to do what I love. God bless you all.
SandyD yes, so true...Thank God, for Mama Gina her family is so lucky to have her! They are never hungry-🙏
Lovely post!
Beautifully said ♡♡♡♡
Rhaina Inge God Bless her and her Family. Thank you again.
Amen to that! Such a beautiful person!🙏
♡♡♡ My Sweet Gina ♡♡♡
You can't believe how much you're loved! Humble, kind, loving, honest. You're my grandma Filomena revisited, it's unbelievable to me. God couldn't have my grandma here because she would be 120 years old today.......so he made UA-cam and He put you here. You sound EXACTLY like her, Gina, your movements, your mannerisms......it's really unbelievable to me. The Chicken Cacciatore is none other than spectacular - the sauce I just know is fabulous. We hope you reminisce and sing on ALL of your videos. We love you so much. God has richly blessed you, my friend. Lighting another candle for you at the Monastery ♡ ( I told the Sisters about you :) ♡♡♡♡♡ Thank you son-in-law, you're the best, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have Gina.
Reminds me of my grandma with these videos she will live forever!!!! I actually cry when I watch her sing
What a joyous, beautiful woman. Made me teary for relatives like her, long gone. Thank you for sharing her and her wonderful recipe. Sending many hugs!
Love her and I appreciate her teaching of what real Italian cooking is.🤗
You need to put all her recipes together and make a "Grandma Gina's Italian Cookbook".
THAT would be FABULOUS! I would buy in a heartbeat! ❤
There is a cookbook; it's on Amazon. The recipes are prior to 2021. Go to the description on here.
Hello Mama Gina, and family/son in law ... I get such a lovely warm feeling when I watch Gina cooking. I not only learn a lot, but I really love seeing her passion - it really warms my heart and fills me with love to have the privilege to watch this beautiful soul. Thank you, thank you. You inspire me much! xxx Love again from NZ.
Anyone else want to adopt Gina omg I love her so much!
The way she describes the gathering of family while they are cooking and sharing the meal reminds me of my grandparents home in south Louisiana. Filled with the same love of family, cooking and sharing meals! Love watching her
I love it when you sing. 🎶🎵🎤
Such a treasure. Unbelievable. My go to grandma I never had.
I made this for my family last night. I added bell pepper to mine but everything else was made to spec. My youngest son ate EVERYTHING on his plate and he normally won't touch pepper, large chunks of onion or tomatoe. He just asked me if he could have leftovers for lunch. I also posted pictures yesterday, and my aunt msgd me this morning for the recipe. I linked her the video. Ty, Grandma Gina! ❤
So something funny happened today, I cook this dish today and I have an eight-year-old who does not like to eat anything that my wife and I cook. So he told me daddy this looks good and it smells good. He had his first plate and he liked it so much he came back for seconds then he proceeded to ask me, who taught you how to cook this? I told him grandma Gina. He tells me well I love grandma Gina and I wish she would come and live with us and cook for me every day because your cooking is not that good daddy. And he walked away.
I just laughed. lol 😆
From Chicago.
I love it when she sings....
Australia. I grew up with Aussie-born children of Greek, Italian, Maltese and other Immigrants. My luck was I got to dine on top meals. My Aussie Mother would reciprocate with roast lamb and veggies or a BBQ.
I have been lucky and admit I watched and learned much meals. I still cook them as learned. I bless Gina and all women I learned from - even the Maltese Fathers who trained me how to raise rabbits and make delicious pies.
I love this Italian Mama. God bless her heart and the lovely cooking. May she live a very long and healthy life.
Thank you for the lovely singing and your wonderful cooking!
Who could possibly give this lady a thumbs down?
I have never clicked to subscribe to a channel as fast as I did to Gina’s.
She is a blessing to have her share here talents with us.All of her talents...the cooking,baking and the singing.
Blessings from Canada!
We love Italian grandmas. For them nothing’s wasted, I see the chicken neck is also included in the cooking 😍
I never had any grandparents I wish I had had a grandma like her she's awesome I love to cook.
What a blessing Gina is to all of us who have lost & miss our Nonnas. Thank you for sharing your lovely cooking with us, I get excited every time I see a new video posted 😊
My only complaint is that the video isn't longer, so we can spend more time with nonne Gina❤
Love when Gina sings for us
Nona broke my heart when she started to sing to us. How could you resist running to give her a big hug after she sang to you. How beautiful.
Oh my goodness..I just love this sweet little Italian lady❤ 😍😚..when she cooks and sings..I could watch and listen to her all day...great admiration..God Bless her heart💖
I cannot tell you how happy these videos make me! I love her so much and she has so many great recipes. Much love to your whole family for even sharing a little of her with us. Please tell her how much she is loved and appreciated.----------------------Tressa Daigle

Thank you, dear Gina. My 4 and 6-yr-old grandchildren watch you with me now.

I’m visiting and they like to sleep with me, we read books and watch Grandma Gina. We love you, dear Gina. Rose Marie
Hello Rose Marie
I love to hear you sing.beautiful
Gina: I am a Toscano/Sicilian Italian 2nd generation. I love your programs and your recipes. Thank you for keeping the immigrant Italian cooking alive! You are like my Mom who died, cooking Sunday lunch for a family of six children. You are great!!!!
This woman is incredible! Such a great cook. I love the songs and stories. At 84 she's such an inspiration. May God bless you Gina ❤
I love you Gina. You are the most blessed of women. Your family comes to eat the wonderful dishes you make. You sing well too.
Nonna Gina, you make me smile and bring back so many memories of my mom and grandmom cooking in our Italian family. God Bless you and keep you and make His face to smile upon you.
Love this
I am so grateful that I found this channel! I never had a good mom or a grandma. so I'm thankful that I'm actually getting to learn to cook from somebody that loves to cook, just like I do! It really touches my heart that she is just the sweetest and she really loves what she's doing! and I appreciate that! thank you so much for sharing her with me today! I just pretended she was my Grandma today! Believe me I subscribed 😊
Thank you for your videos! I could watch them all day long but now I run to the store to get chicken to make this recipe! God Bless!
I absolutely adore the way you talk.. it's like you're singing poetry.. Thank you for the delicious recipe and may God bless you and your whole family.
She is so precious!! God bless her and everything she makes.
Watching these videos are my Saturday night happy place. Can't explain why. Who needs fancy bars restaurants and clubs (especially these days) when you can just hang out at home on a chilly rainy Saturday night and make delicious meals and watch a good movie?
OMG I want to hug you. I love to watch you so much, You remind me of my Grandma xooxoxoxoxoxox.
When you sing is my favorite part, my Grandma sang too
Those knife skills at 2:27
Yes ! Gina my family we make with hot cherry peppers . You are beautiful as your delicious healthy dishes you teach the younger generation. Stay safe ! 😇😘thank you to your daughter and son-in-law for sharing you with us all . God blessings on your Family . 🙏😇😘
Gina's videos are addicting i watch the videos over and over again... so charming lady... i wish i have a grandma just like her
Gina I love your chicken cacciatore, I put green Peppers, black olives, and mushrooms in my cacciatore I also put a cup of red wine and I use crushed tomatoes thats how my nana taught me that Sicilian way ...... so yummy
I love red wine in mine ,as you so yummy 🙏💝❣️❣️🙏🎹🌹🎼❤️
I stumbled on her videos by accident. Now I can't stop watching them. I love her
I swear it's happened to me too...🤣 I'm watching her videos since this morning...its nearly noon now😨😁
My little girl and I love her! My little girl keeps saying I want her!🥰
Some people post negative things on Gina's cooking videos. I personally have been a professional chef for 22 years and she is amazing at what she creates...I love watching these videos. Please people if u dont like her videos , leave the website .. as for me. I love them :)
I think those that dont like the show are just unable to interpret her thick accented english ... sure tit takes a lil to get ones ear attuned but once it is ... it is worth it ...
I agree she is wonderful love to watch her
Brings me back to NY in the 90s. When things were amazing. Who could possibly down vote any of these videos? I love them.
I cannot believe there is even one person who would giver a thumbs down to this wonderful lady and her amazing food.
@@franceswitham8214 Ik ppl must have either A did it on accident or just have not the sense God gave a goose because Gina is just sweetest soul ever.🥰🥰
Im not usually leaving comments on videos put your channel worth it. I lost my grandma 3 years ago. I used to cook with her. Youre grandma is the kind a person who can make a house a real home. I feel warm and in family when I watch your videos. God bless you both. E viva la Nonna !
Nonna Gina you warm my heart ❤️ you bring back beautiful memories of my beautiful nonna who lived with us. Your stories,singing and delicious cooking is so needed in this world. May God Bless you and your family
Thank you Gina for sharing your heart..your food..❤️
Who in their right mind would give grandma thumbs down. ? she is the sweetest.
I wondered the same ugh
I agree with you. It's impossible to please some people.
Ya but maybe it's because she Italian speaking really broken English . It's not her fault ,her family members don't want to teach her .
Maybe other American-Italian grandma's who dont agree with her way of cooking things. U know, they can be quite condescending. They're not used to the authentic European flavour...
@@nelf4830 well her English is also part of her extreme charm her brokem enghish is sweet I think her family is very good to her
YOUR children and grandchildren are VERY lucky to have such a wonderful lady to cook for them .I would eat at your home anyday...May GOD bless and keep you
My mother made the chicken cacciatore, like a stew, w/ potato, celery Greek olives carrots sauce. Jeep singing we all love it here. Gid bless all of you
listening and watching this lovely grandma is so therapeutic. :)
I am new and i have seen a few videos and cannot stop watching them. I just love love love grandma 👵 she is adorable.
I know! She is addictive, love her recipes and her personality.
Please please please show us a video of how you make your jarred tomatoes! And can you please be my grandma too? Lol❤️
Melanie Labelle In another one of her uploads she said that she jars the sauce once a year and when its time again she will show us. Fingers crossed im wanting to make it aswell.
I’m hooked on on this lady love to hearing her sing

Ciao Gina,
I am from Napoli. You remind me of my mamma. She passed away away 5 years ago . She cooked like you. I loved her food and I cook the same. Grazie for your recipes.
Ti Amo! Buon appetite🇮🇹
Hello....My mother was born in 1903 in Leoni, Province of Avelino and was considered Napolitana. Her Maiden name was Calabrese too. She grew up on a little family farm and cooked exactly like Gina. I am so grateful for Gina and her recipes because as a child or teen it was hard to save or write these recipes down as it was more like a handful of this and a glassful of that...thank you Gina's daughter and son in law for preserving these recipes on You Tube. They mean so much to me. I'm 75 years old and Gina reminds me of my mother. Hugs pieazano. My Italian spelling leaves much to be desired.
Thank you, Nonna Gina!! I'm an Irish Grandma but my husband is 100% Italian and is loving the dishes I have learned to make or perfect by watching your videos. I just love watching you and listening to you tell your stories and sing your songs. Love to you and your family, Gina.
A Star is born! Beautifull song Nonna, thank you, looks delicious! ❤️ Lucie

Gina, you are so precious to me. Thank you for teaching us how to cook Real Italian food! When I watch your videos they make me so happy! You are truly a beautiful woman inside and out. I love to hear your stories about when you were young and I wish I had those same amazing memories myself. Such good family memories. This meal looks so delicious like all of your other meals. You are a fantastic cook! So the women sing while the men are waiting to eat huh? I love to hear you sing so much. I hope You and your Family are doing well. I can't wait to cook this meal. Maybe this weekend. Take care and God Bless You and your FamilyI I love you Gina.

Beautiful recipe! I'm making this for my hubby and I tonight. All the ingredients in this recipe compliment each other so well especially the green onions. The chicken, fresh tomatoes, basil and parsley ... the colours of Italy on the stove. Perfect for cold winter nights 💚❤️
I adore this beautiful Grandma.
This is the grandma everybody wishes. Long may she live.
