    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!

    To those who complain that the video is too long: It's not just her recipes, it's also her talking, singing, just spending time with this beautiful lady that some of us desire and enjoy. I feel like I am right there in her kitchen with her. She reminds me of my grandmother...

    The American dream: Immigrating here and leaving your beloved country, working hard labor, learning English and new way of life on the go as your children reap the benefits of your labor so that they can be great, keeping your heritage and traditions strong and passing them on . . . AND being 80+ years old with a youtube channel! All while singing, sharing, and being thankful.
    I am a first generation American and I am so proud and supportive of people like Gina. My parents did all this as well (besides the youtube channel!). If you are reading this I hope you like and comment this video to show Gina your positive support.

      Her tomatoes are fresh from the garden not from a can with added salt, you need to add salt for taste.
      Obviously one can cut the salt as needed.

This lady and Pasquale { the other Italian cook } are simply the best out there on You-Tube. Get some of these dishes on your dinner table, and, .........watch how folks start showing up at the house......! This lady is GREAT. THANK-YOU for sharing your years of talents.

Don't put any if you like. Adjust the recipe as you desire. Thanks for sharing her tips and wisdom with us all. Very good videos!!!

      Probably the same people who downvoted her lasagna video. The comments in that one were ridiculous. Tearing her up because she made one of the lasagnas (she made two) with ricotta. She even said it's not how she would usually make it but some of her family likes it that way.

    HOW EXCITING!! I learn so much from you Mama Gina.
    And that voice!! I could listen to you all day. I would sooooo love a video of you just telling your life's story. What you did in Italy, How you and your husband came to America, about your lives since you've been here, about your family, etc. It would be such an incredible story from such an incredible lady. I do hope you'll consider it. So many of us love you and like me, hang on every single word! 😊 (Your story would be as amazing as you are.)
    Sending you much love and admiration ❣❣
    May God bless and keep you close.✝✝❤

    4:57 - Love how you teach people, when adding water, to pour into one of the emptied jars, and then that into the 2nd jar, to get the last of the good stuff off the jars' sidewalls - I hate how they don't do that, and how they 'lazy scrape' on TV food shows. That's not the way our moms and grammas' did it in the 'Waste Not, Want Not' generations! Love you, Grandma!

    Dear Gina, I am a senior citizen (70 years old this month,) who loves you and your recipes! I have made your sausage and peppers, and your manicotti -- both were delicious! In fact, I am once again preparing your manicotti for my family when they visit this weekend. I enjoy watching you so very much -- and hope you and your family are well and happy. God bless . . . Kathy

    Grandma Gina I want you to know that I love your videos just the way they are. You are a very special lady. Also, I was so inspired by this video that I made it today. I watched the video last week and it looked so good I couldn't get it out of my mind. My family loved it and so did I. It probably wasn't as good as yours but for my first time making crepes I think I did ok. Thank you so much for the videos, I love seeing the notification that Italian Grandma has a new one out. Keep'em coming! ❤️ Merry Christmas

    To those who complain: go watch another video. Make yourself happy. WE LOVE NONNA!
    Nonna Gina, do you ever put spinach in manicotti? I grew up on TEX-MEX and didn't have Italian food until I was a teenager. There is so much I want to learn about the cuisine! What do you add mushrooms to? I love your videos and learning your technique...like with a ladle and a spoon when you spread gravy!

You wiping off the dishe rims to keep them clean is one of my habits. No rim scrubbing for us. You are going to do whatever you do the very best you can. Your singing brought joy to my heart. I will be a fan forever. Love to you and yours may you always be blessed. You are a rare jewel.

    Grandma Gina, you are such a lovely woman and I wish I could give you a big hug for being such a great cook, a great singer and for all of the love and passion you have for your Italian recipes, all the way to your family and from your Italian country back to sharing everything to us!!!!I love watching you cook and this recipe is one of my favorites and I wanted a bite so bad with you because it looked fabulous and SO, SO GOOD❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
    What a big heart you have to help cook for your family. I don't know how many hours you spent making your sauce/gravy as well as the pasta, Before you were able to start putting it together but I am like you, I start a few days ahead when I make my sauce and pasta and then I put my Dish together on a DIFFERENT DAY!!
    It's just too much if you try to do it all in one day especially if you want your kitchen cleaned up before you dying together and if you're going to have other dishes with your main pasta dish. I love listening to you talk and especially I love listening to you sing when you cook or bake either one doesn't matter to me I just love listening to you sing. I have shared your recipes with my sisters, and we miss our grandmother very much, so we have decided we are adopting you as our grandmother♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❣️

    I stumbled upon Grandma Gina's youtube channel accidentally. I decided to watch it and see what the scoop was. I am so happy I did. I never realized how much of a TREASURE I was missing out on.
    Not anymore though. I quickly hit the subscribe button and have been watching her ever since. My family and I love Italian cooking, and thanks to Gina, we now enjoy a little taste of Italy in our kitchen.
    I love to cook and I have been searching for good Italian recipes for many many years. My search is finally over. I have watched every one of her videos from start to end. They are informative, entertaining and most of all, DELICIOUS.
    Thank you for sharing you knowledge Grandma Gina. I send you my best wishes.

Sunday dinners at 3pm best memories , my mom frying the meat early in the morning. Never forget waking up to those aromas!! We are new grandparents now and always make Sunday’s are special family day with gravy and macaroni. Thank you and may God bless you Gina!
