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!

My favorite Italian translation: “Liddle bah liddle” = “dump all of the cream at once.”

I had a 80 year old grandma who would throw things on the stove and everything she made tasted delicious. The simplest things but it was magic. My grandma was from Jamaica but this Italian Nona reminds me of mine. Blessings to her. You can tell she loves cooking for her kids and grandkids.

I just discovered Grandma on YouTube. I was tired of politics. Love her heavy accent and her cooking. She makes me smile AND hungry. Love when she breaks into song. What a lovely lady. Bravo!

I'm italian. When She sings at 14:32 I cry. I see my culture, my grand-mothers, my country... We called it "poesia".

5/1/24: I didn't understand a word she sang, but I enjoyed it thoroughly just the same. She's a sweet lady with a lot of spunk and energy, and I love and enjoy her cooking techniques. I made this dish today. God bless Mama Gina! 💖

I only speak English so I didn't understand a word but the emotion and the gusto with which she sang was so beautiful!! What a beautiful spirit she has!
