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!
Grandma Gina is the best! The entire world loves you and your cooking skills. You should make a hollywood movie! "You want to eat, you got to cook" You should sell merch!
I loved how she said that. :-)
Such a sweet lady.
You are amazing salutations from morocco
I’m only 51 and work 40+ hours a week and I don’t have the energy that this sweet old lady has. If I did I would spend my weekends cooking like her. Beautiful women…beautiful soul.
I love the way you cook. It’s so relaxing watching your recipes made with love ❤️
I love you and I love your cooking Gina. I feel like I'm in Italy.
You are so SWEET. I love when you sing. Please do it more often. I send you a Hug from Kansas 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Gina, always happy to see you. Can't wait to try this delicious recipe.All your recipes are so delicious.. Thank You always!!
She reminds me so much of my Mom! I wish she was on cameo, I’d book a shout out so I could hear her talk in Italian to me. Please tell her she gives me a little piece of my Mom every time I watch her cook. My Mom used to sing when she cooked, too. ❤️ Mille grazie, Signora Gina.
Hello Nonna Gina. I have to makes these shells with the meat. Delicious! I always make them with the ricotta but I have to make the meat ones now. Grazie Nonna Gina. Ti voglio tanto bene assai assai. God bless you. 😘❤
I love that it's not swimming in sauce. JUST enough.

You bring such joy to my heart, Gina, when I watch you cook!! I love your channel and all the delicious food you make. Can I come and live with you and become your adopted little sister???? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha I'd probably wind up weighing 300 lbs. with all of your good cooking - but I could help you - better yet - I'll be your taste tester!!

Is there a cd mix with all those nice songs that Nonna Gina sings? If so please let me know where I can buy it.
I loved the Recipe...but your singing Grandma? Now we treasure you. Must be sooo fun at your TABLE! God Bless!
Made these for my friend, who is a professional chef who cooked for people like Mr, Fred Rogers and Arnold Palmer, and has been cooking in many fine Italian restaurants the past 35 years. His comment is that this was the best stuffed shells he has ever tasted. He wanted to know where I got the recipe and I showed him the video. Now he is watching you too. Absolutely delicious!
These were not only easy to make, but fun too. My only variation is that I air fried the ground meat and it the grease was removed and made the cleanup even easier.
Glad you shared, Mr. Celedonia. Now I’m convinced to make them for sure.
Another amazing💕wonderful💕delish 💕homemade 💕with love💕heritage💕real Italian dishes💕✨memories that are soo special and so interesting to hear when you sing and tell us about your life💕much needed much appreciated 💕You are a blessing Nona Gina💕please stay safe and healthy💕Thank you for sharing this with us 💕✨🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕

Ms Gina - I sure needed this today. You, your sweet nature and amazing food brought me out of my “blues” today. Thank you! God Bless!
This looks fabulous!! I wonder how mine will turn out...??
Did you use susage or hamburger meat?
Fairy Redding I would use a combo personally
Golly, You must love dinner time at Gina's House... Gina I am wishing You and Your Family a Safe Holiday Season..
I'm Italian and this is making me hungry!
I haven't made stuffed shells in awhile. I enjoy watching Gina cook and sing! My Grandfather would have loved Gina!
Thank you for putting so much song and love in your preparation!
Bono apetite!
Your family is blessed!
Hi Gramma Gina!! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!! I cant wait to cook this!! I hope all is well and you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Dear Gina, I am so very happy to see you are still preparing these most delicious dinners. This makes me long for the days when I cooked with my mother - especially for the holidays, At Thanksgiving she would prepare a turkey, stuffing, roasted sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, a variety of roasted vegetables, and brown gravy. But first we had Italian escarole soup. There was, of course, lasagna and all the gravy meats! This is the God's honest truth! Gina, there were only 4 of us growing up. We had left-overs forever but, we never complained. Sending prayers an love from Rhode Island. God bless and stay safe!!
Me too! I love my memories of holidays and all the food. I still make them the way my family did 🙏🏼
💯❤️
Gina makes me miss my mom too.. they were so much alike 🇮🇹🙏🏻❤️
We were only 4 as well, but usually had my Nonna, Zia Rita (Tizi, I called her😉) and my cousin Michael. And EVERYTHING you listed, sometimes ravioli instead of lasagna. We ate it all in less than an hour! But sat at the table for many more! ❤️ All those mentioned are gone, except my brother. I miss them, and those days, immensely. 💔
@@michellemaria1360 Yes, you are right! We did finish in less than an hour but, sat at the table for who know how long. Desserts came out soon after dinner. My Dad was a baker so there were plenty of pies, cookies, etc. We would be so full from dinner but, there was always room for a helping (or two) of dessert. I miss those days, terribly. Like, you, it is just my sister and me. God bless!
Gina: what time is dinner? You always make enough in case someone stops by! Keep singing and cooking. I love to watch you!
I love watching you cook! Remind a lot of my grandmother. I was wondering can you one day make or share a recipe of arancini rice balls?
Hi Gina would you please make a rice balls 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🕊🕊🕊
Thank you, Gina, for your lovely recipe! May God shower you with His abundant blessings! I love you always!
You are adorable Gina. ...I never was able to see my grandma cooking never got her recipes ..Thank You..for sharing and cooking for us..🥰
Hi Ms. Gina - so nice to be with you again! I haven't been on your channel very much and I've missed seeing you and trying your recipes! I have a request - if you can could you possibly make Melanese Con Sardi - made on St. Joseph's Day. I would really appreciate it since I lost my mother-in-laws recipe and I don't want to make a mistake making it. I miss this dish very much. Thank you, Gina!!! God Bless You and your beautiful family!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My grand ma.i am an algerian woman of 58 old years. I love you too much grabd ma . you are so sweet .
Darling Gina! Always so cheerful, happy, and uplifting. Gina is the antidote to the winter blues. Bless you dear Gina. Love your singing. We’re all hungry for your good food. Salute.
Thank you Grandma Gina... God bless you 🙏 looks very delicious and easy to cook 👍
What a beautiful soul she always puts a smile on my face and such a wonderful cook
I’ve never had stuffed shells with meat sounds delicious Nonna Gina ciao Bella
I just found my Christmas dinner! Love the singing too! Thanks Gina!!
The dislikes are from the people who are jealous they can’t have Gina as they’re nonnie!
This are the ones who can't cook.
Or tooo lazy.
I really doubt that.
Gina is everyone's nonna❣

In all of my 70 years I have not eaten as many Italian dishes as I have this last two years watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Whether you are living in the US or in Australia Italians are all the same.
They are great cooks, delightful hosts and I have had the same doctor for 27 years who's parents were immigrants from Italy..
