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!

Ms Gina. You warm my heart. I am a 70 year old African American woman and in 1960 was raised in our family home on an all Italian Street in Park Slope Brooklyn. Our homes and back yard was connected to the most amazing Italian family. There was never a bitter word from those lovely people on our street. The neighbors two daughters were the same age as my sister and me. We grew up as life long friends. Their daughters along with my sister and I returned over the years to share kids and visit our respective parents. Ms Salvina was their mom and the dad was a postal worker that she used to call Anthony. (Antho-nee😊) She and you could have been sisters. I smile and recall the countless Italian meals and priceless memories we shared with the homeowners and families on 10th Street between 5th and 6th. God bless you and your family Ms. Gina.

Grandmas cook with such grace and details and so much love. No matter the time of day, if you ask for something, they do not hesitate to do it for us. Moms, they'd think for a second lol. But not our grannies 😍🙏🏼♥️ and in my case I'd like to add my older sister. She never says no.

[@toddminett7561]

They are what the world is missing. People think strong women are strippers. Nope, strong women are the foundation of families. Mine were Italian and native American. Best women ive ever known and the only type i will marry. High standards these days.

[@davidsowers3295]

Grandma's live to Love you, to teach you, and to selflessly make you happy! They are slow moving superheros for your soul! One thing you don't have is enough time. If your lucky enough to have one or more grandma's, spend time with them. Not for them, for both of you! Learn to cook or sew or garden,nothing tastes better than unconditional Love. But most of all, learn how to be a better mom and dad today, and how to be the best grandma and grandpa soon! They never go out of style and our World needs them more than ever. PEACE

To this day I cook/bake things she used to just to keep tradition alive. I truly appreciate your videos. Hearing you speak just warms my heart. You remind me so much of my nana, you speak very much the same. I could listen to you all day. She too came to America from Italy. Thank you for taking me back to the good days.

Great memories. I’m 74yrs old now and they are all with God now. Thank you for bringing me back to those days with your cooking and sweet personality.

Hi Gina, my family comes from Modena, where did you grow up. My grandma Maria and my mom Gina taught me the same recipe's that you make. I learned and in later years I became a chef and had an Italian restaurant in the Bronx in the 60's. I love to watch you cook, it reminds me of growing up in Brooklyn and cooking every Sunday. Your recipe's are exactly the same as grandmas! I lived in Italy for a while in the 60's and want to go back next year, my family is all gone and I watch you just like I used to watch them. Thank you very much!

I am in awe of this woman and I have been cooking for 50 years. I will never achieve this level in my lifetime because what she has is generations old and passed down with respect.

In today’s world 🌎 we have grandma’s and grandpa’s that are younger than there kids this is the kind of grandma I grew up with so sweet and kind I have always respect my elders always!! And now the kids want McDonald’s Taco Bell 🛎 French fries 🍟!! You can’t find anywhere a dish that will taste like that one she just made so precise love ❤️ 🌹🥰 you Grams God bless you 🙏🏾

My new adopted Nona! You are the best! I loved hearing you sing papas songs about America. I am so happy you make cooking look so easy. I can not wait to cook! My wife had a Nona in Ohio who made so much good food from Sicily her families home. She raised my wife to be such a good person and cook. She told me, "If youse leave a hungry, thatsa yor a fault"....

I just love Gina….I miss my Sicilian grandma so much!!! Her mannerisms, broken English and her cooking!! Watching Gina warms my heart!! Thank you Gina, please keep sharing your stories and your love of cooking!

"Let me taste" *takes two fare size pieces* I'm like omg it's me when I'm her age! I love Italians they're so grateful for their food and home and family. I could watch her cook all day! It's nice living in saskatchewan but nobody appreciates simple things like Italians do! 🥰
