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 am a Chef in Oklahoma and truly enjoy your happiness and joy you spread. You make me miss my granny who taught me to cook and bake!
😊🎉❤
How come, Mamas bake at home, and outside the men are becoming the Chefs ?
❤Catoosa Oklahoma Agree's with you. We love nonna Gina. Vivianne
***❤️🤍💚 "💚🤍❤️***
Nonna on here reminds me of my own Nonna. When she cooked everything it was done with lots of love . ❤ It makes me so happy when my own grandsons now call me Nonna! 🙂🦋
My Mother and my three sisters all had the same way of cooking they were great cooks
The only channel without 1 negative comment ❤ she is special.
After Gina began her channel, a lot of Grannies started to video too. But NONE will ever compare to Gina’s ITALIAN EXPERTISE…. Or her Stunning singing.
Everyone has their own charms
Never Gina is the original for sure !!!
🎉 💖
Gina is truly the best and most authentic Italian cook on RUclips.
Brava Gina!🎉🥰
Any recipes lost in my family, I can find at Gina's channel. Her channel is a treasure. Pure Italian gold! 💛
@@onepanwonders3579 You bet! When I want to remember how my Nona made anything, I know Gina will have made it too. 👍🏻
God bless this woman passing down generations of recipes.
What a Sweetheart. Need more of her coming into this country. Bring back memories of our family. Boy we're we blessed to have grandmother's and mother's like this. She is priceless.
I can't believe that this young lady is 88 years old! 💙💙Congratulations Gina and your family for the good mood you give to everyone.
I just want to THAAAAANKKK whoever started this channel.
Forever and ever I can have a Nanna in my kitchen.
Seriously, THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANNEL!!!
It is her generous son-in-law who is the other half of this wonderful Little Italy in her own cucina! ❤
Amen to that!😊😊👍❤
I couldn’t agree more!!!! I almost feel like I love just watching and hearing her more than learning how to cook. She’s proof that there is soooooo much more to cooking other than technique and ingredients. I love when she says, she has to maka da cross first!! ❤
Nonna Gina is a national treasure ❤
Love it when she cooks and sings together… I am amazed she has memorized all the words to all those songs…!!! Just an amazing woman…!!!
Oklahoma here too, but not a chef, although I love to cook and bake. I have been watching Grandma Gina for close to 9 years now. I have baked and cooked many of her recipes. I remember her kitchen back then. I hope we, grandma's subscribers, have helped remodel her kitchen the way she deserves it. I also hope her children and grandchildren are recording and documenting the stories of her life from growing up in Italy (?) and her journey to America. SO many times she has put tears in my eyes for so many good reasons. I wish I could just give her a hug. God Bless you Grandma Gina! I am so grateful for your recipes and cookbook!
I believe that’s her daughters kitchen. I think she may live with her now.
Can you please tell me the name of your book and where it is sold?
Can we have Gina seat and have espresso and just talk about life . Gina doesn't have to cook everytime we miss her and would love to have biscotti coffee and here- thank you so much
actually, I would appreciate this also. She talks a lot about life already, but a chat format would be lovely too once in a while.
Coffee talk with Gina! ☕️
Wonderful cook can beat the young ones lots of energy God bless her.
I was making cinnamon rolls & I covered my dough like I seen Gina do in another video. She wrapped hers with a towel & blanket & put it on couch to rise. Well, my bed was the warmest place, so that's where I put my dough. It rose so much, it came out of the bowl & I had dough stuck on the sheets & blankets. 😂😂😂
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Yes! Me too! I've wrapped all kinds of breads and pizza dough in blankets and leave to rise in my warm bedroom during the winter months because of Nanna Gina! I might even start using an electric blanket😂😂
I have a warming burner on my stovetop. I put 4 deep soup bowls upside down. They are scared out to hold a cooling rack with a soup bowl under each corner so the bowl is not so close to the burner. Then I and drape it all with a bath towel over all of it My warming burner is set on two🎉
😅
The dough baby had a dough baby! Awesome! Just like Grandma Gina❤
Grandma Gina makes me smile every time I watch her and see her cook and sing! And the blessing before the bread reminds me of days gone by!
My heart sings when I see you! Wish you good health and lots of baking and cooking to share with us.
Weicome back Grandma Gina. Loved to see those magic hands mixing dough, different than when you mixed on the table. You make a cloudy day Sunny. Anxious to see the bread, watching the preparations for bread. Love you, God Bless you always
You remind me of my 91 year old mother who canned,made bread ,cooked from scratch and raised 10 children.❤️❤️❤️
'Allo ima Gina, love it! Nice to hear your voice again Gina. May all the work of your hands be blessed
Grandma Gina is a pleasure to watch and learn authentic Italian breads and pizzas . I adore this precious woman! Especially when she says a little prayer before starting her recipe and as she sings and giggles during her process. I wish I could be with her in her kitchen!!❤
Gina I love when you bless our food and sing like our grama and mama and aunts everybody old traditions are faded,you bring them back alive, every time you close, episodes. please continue to bless in the sign of the cross bring us so much happiness THANK YOU
Nonna Gina's videos bring me so much joy ❤️
Oma Gina you are the salt of life and the 8th wonder of the world❤
That kitchen must smell incredible. 🌞
Grandma Gina, God bless you! You remind me so much of my own Italian Nonna. She too, was an amazing cook. She passed away when I was 13 but, I can still remember how great her kitchen always smelled! My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Calabria, Italy where she was born.
Continue cooking and singing. We love you!!
I am not the only one who would just sit here and listen to Grandma Gina sing all day long. Please never comply with the tik tok, two minute short videos. I love to watch every part of the cooking and the stories, and the singing. God Bless this family, in Jesus name. Amen.
Beautiful, sweet Gina. Thank you for your sharing your memories, your songs, and your wonderful recipes. You are an inspiration.
Grandma Gina I have been watching you for so long. My grandma Circelli and her 14 kids (my mom number 13) all lived in our small town in PA. I cooked with her and my mom till I was 12 and mom passed from cancer. Your cooking singing and family bring me much joy, and of course we have visited Italy 3 times now and love all the nonnas everywhere. Thank you for making me feel at home. I love to garden, have chickens, a wood fired pizza oven in back yard and my hubs mom lives in back in her MIL quarters we built for her - she is 93! and she loves a good pizza.
❤
I also love to hear Grandma Gina sing.
I watched her video when she put the dough on the sofa wrapped in blankets. She is a joy to watch and so wise. Thank you family for all you do to make these possible.
"Eat well, Sing often, Love a lot" my philosophy fully realized by grandmother Gina!
How wonderful to see Grandma Gina! My day is happy! I will try these. They look very good. ❤️
Gina made me think of my Mom who cooked just like she does, I remember that song growing up when we all made sausage together in January …so emotional for me , bringing back all those happy memories..we must be from the same region of Italy, Campobasso, Molise..I was 2 years old when we immigrated..my Mom was 26..love you Gina, you are a treasure, just like so many of your generation..God bless you..❤️
Gina reminds me so much of the most ltalian mothers they cooked with lot of love for there families Gd bless them all
Gina is so special , I love her so much❤
Bella Gina! Adoro sentirti cantare! Tu fai sorridere il mio cuore! ❤️❤️❤️
Love how the dough is tucked up to prove like a baby going to bed…bless you Gina
Grandma Gina got a new countertop and remodeled her kitchen I like it
They don’t make them like Gina anymore! She is a blessing to all that watch! God Bless us all!
I've been watching Nonna Gina for at least 8 years. I've made so many of her dishes and have never had one thing turn out wrong. She's an amazing teacher. My fiancee calabrese parents are no longer with us so being able to learn from an Italian makes my fiancee happy. I wish all the health and happiness to you all this New Year. Love from Canada.
I love that you prayed. We give thanks to God first. 🙏❤️ I so love watching you.
She’s singing! She’s making bread and singing… that was so precious, I just hung my head and cried like a child.
Every time I’m ready to give up on humanity, I find a video like this, and my faith in humanity is restored. Thank you so much Grandma Gina and UTube .❤️🐝🤗💋
Thank u to Nick behind the camera and everyone else who makes this beautiful demonstration. Everything is so clear to understand and all the extra side notes are greatand it is so easy to
find the recipes. God bless all of you. My inlaws were from Abruzzi and many of the recipes bring back beautiful memories😢❤
All the recipes of my grandmother and great-grandmother were lost. This channel is such an ingenious way to share joy and at the same time preserve the treasures of your family. God bless you.❤
Some people like, some people no like...love her!
💖🎉🎵🙏🏻😇
I love you! When you sing sometimes I cry, I have been watching you for years, you beautiful lady! You have my heart! God bless you and your family!
I defy anyone to be able to watch this wonderful lady without a smile on their face!!😊
She immediately makes me smile. Im a kid again with my panni,mom in the kitchen.....❤
I love your videos! Every time I see you cooking, singing, talking, sharing about life... it makes me happy! Thank you and God bless you, Grandma Gina!
Best part of my day is when Nona Gina uploads a video jammed packed of a amazing dish or dessert with her beautiful smile and giving heart and stories and song that always makes me think of my childhood cooking and baking with my daddy (yes I was and forever will be a proud daddy’s girl,Nona Gina you are such a treasured gift of light and love

Hello, ma’am
May your blessings from heaven continue
Watching Gina reminds me so much of my Grandma! Everything she cooked was delicious!
My grandma made this for us when we were little after school. The pork bread is so good....truly addictive. Gina gives me such a warm feeling every time I see her videos. Bravo!
Such a very positive person she spreads her joy far and wide. I love everything about her.
Love her so much. Thank you grandma Gina. I miss my grandma and no one ever taught me to cook. You are appreciated beyond words. You are everyone’s grandmother with these videos.
❤ Best Italian Grandma in the world. I am half Italien and half Swiss. I love to watch her. Bless her❤
Ladies and gentlemen...Grandma Gina's in the house!🎉❤
Hello from Juliette in NY!!! Gonna watch you make your bread, now. Such a gray day here... perfect for making bread!! Can't use my hands anymore to knead because of my RA😢 Will use my K-aid mixer.
Your videos make me so happy!!!❤😊 🍞
I remember my grandfather singing in Italian in the kitchen when he was cooking the gravy/sauce on Sundays for Sunday dinner. He wouldn't let my grandmother cook the gravey, he always said hers was to sweet 😂 Gina, you bring back so many wonderful memories of my grandparents growing-up, thank you so much "mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto" 🥰❤
Ciao Nonna Gina.
Guardare i tuoi video è sempre un esperienza bellissima ma anche un pò malinconica,perché mi fai pensaere tanto alle mie Nonnine che non ci sono più. Quando vorrei tanto telefonare alle mie Nonne per chiedere come facevano alcune ricette, ecco che mi vieni in mente tu e così ho una risposta alle mie domande. Come ad esempio la pizza con cicoli.
Grazie mille. Il tuo impasto è davvero uno spettacolo!!
Ti mando un abbraccio affettuoso dalla Svizzera.
We LOVE Gina. Her joyful singing is the secret ingredient!
Thank you Nona Gina…you bring back the joy of my childhood and I can never thank you enough for that ❤️❤️❤️
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Nonna Gina! You're back...love it!
You made my day Gina and brought a smile to my face! Love you ❤❤❤❤
You always make my day. These breads and pizzas look amazing. I'll try to scale everything down, there's only 3 of us.
Grandma Gina!!! Love that you don’t have written recipe here. The best food comes from the heart, hand, and head not the paper and pen! ❤
I love when Gina sings, such an angel, May God bless her with many years of cooking and singing. Love you
Mama's Gina everything looks delicious and beautiful. I want to wish you much happiness and success plus good health in 2024 and always appreciate your cooking skills showing Italian food from your home and home today.

When I watch your videos, Marie, I feel I'm looking back centuries to the way things have been done since the days of ancient Rome. You knead dough with the same rhythm of your ancestors. It's a beautiful thing!💞
