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!

    Seriously, how pathetic can 91 people's lives be to go out of their way and give this beautiful lady a thumbs down? Thumbs down for what may I ask, please you cowards let me know? Actually very sad because you know how miserable they must be! The 5,900 thumbs up are greatly deserved and the 91 thumbs down are not, not even 1 of them. God bless Grandma Gina she is beautiful, talented, and admired by many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Question, How many Grandmas does it take to teach thousands of people traditional Italian cooking? 1, her name is Grandma Gina. Thumbs up for another great lesson and a nice bonus song. You brighten up our days.
  • When I'm not in a great mood, i watch Buon-a- Pettiti and my Gina instantly makes me happy. I wish we were neighbors so I could enjoy your company. You are truly a blessing to everyone.

  • Do we not all—of whatever ethnic group—see our grandmothers in this beautiful little lady?!
  • @fredspina1757
    You may watch all the so called world famous chefs but nobody but NOBODY can make food like an Italian nonna. Just love her.

    I grew up in an Italian section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one of my best friends growing up was a kid named Victor, but his mother called him Vito. To this day I have no idea what her real name was because we always called her "Nona" and she didn't speak a lick of English. For years, every time I went over to Victor's house, his mother, who for whatever reason, called me "Steele" would immediately rise up when she saw me walk in the door and she would go to her refrigerator and just empty so much of what was in there onto the table and she would begin to cook for me. I can also honestly say that she made the absolute best spaghetti and meatballs that I have ever had in my entire life, even better than my own mothers, who was full-blooded Italian herself and an excellent cook in her own right. I had no idea how to cook back then but as an adult I have taught myself all that I can on how to cook and of course, I watch videos like this to learn even more. I have tried to duplicate what Victor's mother did but just have not been able to do it. I have managed to come up with some really great batches of sauce and meatballs but not like hers. I was back home there a few years ago and managed to track Victor down and found that not only was his mother still alive, but he still lived at home with her, and Victor, at the time, was somewhere around 50 years old. I asked him to ask his mom if she could share her recipe with me, and he did ask her, but she indicated to him that she cannot remember how she did it and hadn't made it in years. Victor did tell me that she is suffering from Dementia and so I did believe her that she could not remember, but I was sad because after so many years of trying I thought I would finally learn her secret, but it appears that it will go to her grave with her. I am saying all of this to say that this woman reminds me so much of "Nona" and I am looking forward to trying some of her recipes, as I have only discovered her and her channel just today.

    I just wanted to let you know that you have no idea what this video did for my soul today. I was SO fortunate to have my Italian Grandmother live with us when I grew up until she passed about the time I graduated High School. She taught me from a very young age how to cook all of the best Italian dishes and watching this beautiful, lovely woman, Gina, in this video brought back so many memories of time spent in the kitchen with my Grandmother. They are SO much alike in SO many ways. I already know how to make Sausage & Peppers, but I was compelled to watch this video anyway. Sometimes you learn something new, and I am all about that because I don't know everything and can always learn something if you keep an open mind. I am so glad I did, hug her for me! You are creating a priceless treasure here with these videos. Thank you, you have a faithful subscriber. I can't wait to watch more!!
  • How wonderful that so many of us have chosen to abandon the anger and despair of news vendors, and have gathered around this absolutely captivating lady, who holds us spellbound with her pure magic!
  • I lost my nonna in 1992, at the age of 102, nonna Gina, you remind me of her! I LOVE YOU!
  • @NJlucky
    OMG When she says "You Follow Me " !! I go Crazy Love Her !! God Bless !!!
  • @masimaninlv
    WOW, I love the ending..... Yes, God bless America! Gina, you are such a wonderful woman and I love your singing. Thanks so much for taking the time to make your cooking videos. I share your videos with close friends who like to cook. Love, Kenny in Vegas.
  • Made this once for a large crowd of my wife's Italian family and they went crazy for it! Watched the video again tonight and my mouth is literally watering. It's so good. She is amazing and the dish is so good. Try it, I promise you you will love it.
  • the singing is the best. Oh how I wished I had a grandmother growing up.
