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!

I couldn't agree more!💯 I love watching her cook and bake for her family..I wish she was my Nonna..💝 Happy Mother's Day Nonna Gina...💐
Love it when Gina gets so absorbed into the singing that she stops cooking and starts performing; what an adorable treasure.
Love to hear her singing while cooking.
Talk about adding spice to life!
She is a real treasure..
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!!!❤️❤️❤️
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
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. ❤
Your children are so blessed to have you for a mother and grandmother, God bless you Gina and Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day, Gina! I love to watch you cook and sing. You brighten my day and make me smile. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ yes that's right!!! Mothers day for Gina!

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 😊❤
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. 😉
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! 😋

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.

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.
My mama used to make this dish ! It was SO good. Sometimes, instead of broccoli, she would use Cauliflower. That, too, was delicious. Thanks for the great dish ! Ciao !💙 "Happy Mothers Day!"
Have missed you Nonna Gina! Now I have my dinner!!!! Love you Gina!
Hello my friend😊
I haven't been on the computer for quite some time, and OMG - how much I've missed this sweet, wonderful lady. She reminds me SO much of my grandmother who was born in Sicily and sounded and cooked just like Gina. We practically lived in her kitchen growing up. Couldn't wait for her to sing and cried when she sang my mother's favorite song. She passed away years ago, but I post "Mama" (by Jerry Vale) every Mother's Day on my FB page. God bless you, Nonna Gina, sending you huge hugs & love always 💖
It’s 8:30 in the morning and now I’m craving broccoli and pasta. That shouldn’t be a shocker.I crave everything Gina makes. I just need to watch her video’s later in the day.
So happy to see you again! I love Broccoli, so I will try this!
Mama Gina welcome back, I am so glad you sang Mama my dad always sang that to my mom, I miss them both so much and your pasta and broccoli looks delicious. My mom use to make Spaghetti with potatoes I really wish I paid more attention to learning all the recipes from my mom and dad and grandparents my family is from italy. Thank you for sharing all your memories, songs, and recipes. much love Ciao and Happy Mothers Day
Hello I'm new here hope you don't mind friends
I have that same Blessed Mother Statue in my kitchen. I'm Sicilian and my Husband is Italian and I LOVE this lady!! Her recipes are wonderful. I never got to ask my Grandmother for her recipes.
I haven’t watched Gina in awhile but it’s heartwarming to see her again.

Thank you for teaching me how to cook the best meals I’ve ever eaten! It’s so fun to watch, and I just love you! Happy Mother’s Day!
Love the singing
I really want to thank you for this recipe. I'm a momma to a 3 year old with food allergies. I'm always looking for new dishes to feed him because our "safe" meals are limited and they get old fast when you eat them every week. This is so simple and completely safe for my little guy! I can't wait to try it! Thank you thank thank you ❤
Thank you, Gina & family! You always make me smile. Happy Mother's Day to you!
I missed you and this recipe came just in time! I'm going to make this tomorrow!

I pray you feel better soon. Big hug to you and your mom. Thank you for watching. God Bless.
@@BuonAPetitti Thank you so much! Stay healthy!
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.
Happy Mother's day my lovely friend. God Bless you. XO
Love from Florida!

Hello I'm new here hope you don't mind friends😊
So good to see you Mama Gina! Lovely dish, and a lovely song you sang for us!♥️ Thank you for making our days and this world a little brighter!! Happy Mother’s Day 💐
Watching and listening to Grandma Gina brings me back to the 50's when I was helping my own Grandma make pasta and ravioli from scratch. Polenta. So thank you Grandma for helping me retrieve those memories that are so heart warming and always make me smile. I am first generation American. Everyone we knew had immigrated from Italy. Back then every Italian house had a second kitchen in the basement. I can still hear my nonna say (insert grandma accent) 'flour goes everywhere makes a mess (insert hand gesture of exclamation) better to use it downstairs' Always it was fun. The best cooks! Do you have a secrete kitchen you don't show us? It would be cute to me.
So good to see your beautiful smile again. We’ve missed you! God bless you, Mama Gina, and Happy Mother’s Day. I hope your children cook something yummy for you! ❤
So happy to be honored with your singing! So lovely! Enjoy watching you cook and I learn so much from you! 🫂
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.
I just love listening to Mama Gina. Makes me smile. ❤
Thank you Grandma Gina , we love your recipes and singing from your heart 😊
❣️Oh Gina! I’m so glad to see you again. Just seeing your beautiful face and hearing you sing makes my heart smile. Reminds me of my childhood (a long time ago). God bless you and your family and
🌸Happy Mother’s Day🌺
Hello how are you doing please send me friend request thank you😊
Grandma Gina is the sweetheart and is so good in explaining her recipes. I love her.
Happy Mother's Day, Gina & hope you have a great day with your family!
I'm glad to see you cooking & singing that this RUclips video made me
smile. God Bless you & your family! I look forward to your next video! 💕
Happy Mothers' Day, Mama Gina! You are without a doubt, the brightest star around, and your food is always the tastiest! All good wishes!
I have missed you. I ran to put this on the second the notification came on. I love watching you Ms. Gina ❤ I always make your dishes.
Mama Gina I'm so glad to see you again cooking for us ❤ and singing your joy make my heart happy. The pasta looks delicious. Happy Mothers Day❤🌹💗 sweet lady🌹
Okay, I made the broccoli pasta today and it is delicious just as I thought it would be. Mama Gina uses a little more salt than I would but that's just a matter of taste. Now I'm watching Gina cook with her Sister Lucia! What a fun blessing!!!
Gina truly is the sweetest - we adore her so much❤Love the recipe, the song & everything about Gina’s videos. Happy Mother’s Day🌷🌼🌺
I love watching Grandma Gina. If I am tired or down in the dumps I turn her videos on and I smile and relax. She has brightened the life if many people. She also is excellent in the kitchen. I tell everyone about her. When I cook they ask if its from Grandma Gina. 😊😊😊
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.
Que abuelita tan hermosa!! Nunca me pierdo sus videos. Gracias por compartir a abuelita Gina con todos mosotros!!!❤
This looks so delicious 😋 🥦 🥧
Congratulations 🎊 on 1 million subscribers!! Love you Gina 🇮🇹
