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!

After a long day or just to get away from the depressing news, I love to watch Nonna Gina. I find it so relaxing. Viva Nonna Gina!
I love your videos so much! I had Italian grandparents, they were first generation Italian Americans. Grandma made most all of these same dishes, so delicious! I adore your accent! It helps me with my study of the Italian language to listen to you! Mille Grazie! ❤️
Thank you to Nonna Gina and her supporting family for answering my question🙏🏻🤗
My Ciambotta is greaaat. I could it every day♥️
Oh boy this looks delicious. Thank you Gina and family for sharing 💓💖💞. My Nona Anita and Nono Bastiano didn’t speak English as good as you. 👍. I so love hearing your accent. You’re mannerisms are so similar to my family’s. ❤️🇺🇸 🇮🇹❤️
Nonna Gina ti amo🤗
I am going to make this soup today. My mother made it all the time back in Romania. You remind me so much of my mom.
Do you buy Pecorino Romano already grated or do it in a food processor? I’ve never find it
grated in Canada.
Lord bless you and looking forward to seeing thousands more of your great recepies.
👍❤️
