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.
Why does she make such large portions?
When she was in Italy, she would cook and bake in such large quantities so she wouldn’t have to take time every day to make food, and instead be able to work on the farm. Many of her recipes can be cut in half or quartered if you choose to try them out!
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!

Thanks for this. Putting the gravy at the base is helpful.
I love watching you grandma Italian you are such a perfectionist .
i love the wood table you have where can i buy one plz as always very good job cooking and filming .
Love this video
This great grandma is a world asset, I would like her to be part of my family. One humble suggestion. We live in a fast world, your videos are too long. Would be better to have all ingredients cut and ready to use before the video, list them, cook and show your final product. Your videos should not last more than 5 minutes. I wanted to watch this video, but is 41.59 minutes long, not time for that. Another thing is the singing, cut that as well and save time. Beside that everything is perfect. This is a positive feedback, I hope that you take it that way. Thanks and I hope that this grandma live 100 more years.
Omg she’s so CUTE i love her already 😍💕💕💕
Oooh yum Gina, buonisssimo, quando vango in italia vengo a mangiare da te, probbio buono, hai un nuove subscriber, a presto
Thank You, Gina! I’ve been making lasagna for at least 40 years. It’s my oldest sons favorite dish. However I make a meat sauce. Never have separated any ingredient. All 3 of my kids love it, but each has their favorite. I’m so glad I’m doing it right!
Now my mother made a killer chicken cacciatore but never taught me how. I’m going to follow your recipe. I know it will be great.
By the way do you put a little sugar in your tomato dishes? Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us!!
Nona, come to Chipilo mexico. We have many Italians born and raised in Mexico. Beautiful people
