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! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Lol. I’m laughing out loud when you told the story of the cat getting into the food. Then whatayougonnado? We bring to the sink and we wash it in the sink and put it back in the sauce!!! Perfect!!! You can’t throw it out. That had to be the cleanest sauce ever. I just love your stories grandma Gina. Thank you for bringing these stories to us. My grandma lived with us Her name was Rosina and she was from Sicily. When her daughters Catherine and Rose would come over it was hilarious. It was the three sisters. My mother Josephine and her sisters Rose and Catherine and grandma Rosina. They would laugh and laugh about the old stories from Italy and New York. Wonderful memories.
🤣🤣🤣😘
This lady reminds me of my aunts with the same Italian immigrant accent. Their focus never wavered children, family and faith were the factors of life which held their attention. Their husband worked and the Nona served the best they could secure to their family. We were extremely fortunate.
I love Grandma Gina, her recipes and her singing. She's a beautiful lady with a loving soul. God continue to bless her with many, many more years to share with us all, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Those who go out of their way to dislike Grandma's video's needs to sleep with the fishes! Shameful!
For real !!!
They must be uncapable of cooking shes brill cheers me upxxxx😆😆😆😆
I go out of my way to like her videos 😊 I appreciate them so much! She is so sweet and her recipes are delicious. I made the Pasta Primavera and it was perfect 🥰 Thank you Gina!!! Molto bene!!! Can't wait to attempt the manicotti
Who ever does that is a moron.
@@tiffanysteadman7822 her manicotti is one of my family favorite.
I read some comments complaining about the alleged slowness of the videos. Some other people claim she'd need a blender to make it quicker. Here's what I think.
Gina works in a kitchen which is the equivalent in size of a Hilton suite, if she needed a processor, she'd have a processor. She needs not, it's just that simple.
You see, I think you're missing a little background here. Gina is not one of your ordinary granmas. Gina was born in the south of Italy, during times when cooking was as natural as breathing. You grew up and just learned by watching, because you *had* to help. Little canned food around, no "pret-a-consommer" on the shelves.
These recipes (and derivatives, as this one) are hard-coded deep into her DNA.
She could easily prepare stuffing single-handedly while staring at you with a daring glance waving her wooden spoon ("LA CUCCHIARELLA"), just because.
She knows how food has to be prepared. Sure, some scientist may even explain that blending with a processor actually increases air-food surface favoring oxidation and degrading taste.
Gina needs no such fancy words. She knows it because someone before her has tried using a blender in the last 40-50 years and no, the taste was not exactly the one they looked for. Or maybe the texture, or whatnot. But I think there is even more.
She just knows that cooking (in that manner) is a labor of love. It has to be done in due time, no less, no more. There is no speedup in love, as there is no speedup in the kitchen. Proper food is love, preparing it in that precise manner is the best way to start enjoying your meal way before the dinner actually begins. And this, besides all other tips and tricks sprinkled around, is the true lesson this woman is striving to teach.
Long live Gina!
I agree. Everyone wants to know how she fixes her food because its good, then you have to fix it the way she does. She puts her time and love into each dish, I'm sure.
I agree with what your saying , thank you for posting it. This is grandmas way I love it she reminds me of all my Italian friends gathering in the kitchen with good food and stories. Bless you
Bravo Fabio!!! Well put!!!
I never thought about Ginas video's being slow. I love watching her and spending time with her. I love hearing her sing. I don't think I ever read a complaint about her.
I agree with what your saying! God bless this amazing woman, Gina!
I love her! She needs to write a cookbook. Her simple Italian dishes are just what I grew up with.
Looks delicious. I will make this come Thanksgiving.
I 100% agree she needs to write a cookbook
@@dianetabone5137 me too
I definitely agree with the cookbook!!
I would buy a cookbook!
I watch this every year before I make it. So nice to watch this sweet lady.
The absolute wonderfulness of Ginas turkey dressing is that it can become a meal in itself,just top with gravy and add a side salad..voila! Lunch or dinner in a snap..Shes just so special!
Your a loving nonna gina
When you don't like someone ,well look for something elseor someone else. I love 💘 Ginathe way she is
I Love all the stories… especially this one about the Cat Snatching the cooked Rooster & her finding it on the Floor… I NEVER laughed so hard at the way you tell us your experience as a young lady… I will never stop watching these videos Nonni Gina….
Thank you for helping us all to Live, Love & Laugh a little better!!
I can’t help but love this woman. She reminds me of my own Grandma, What a treasure! And she is all about the family. Her cooking is done with years of observation and experience. We are all richer by watching her magic.
And we will all give thanks and praise to Grandma Gina. God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving 💕
We love Nonna Gina. God bless you for keeping the traditions and recipes for us to learn. I know your cooking is the best. I would love to sit at the table with you and eat and hear all your stories. ❤❤

I love when Gina sings, so precious. She is adorable.
I'm am so happy I found you.. You remind me of my grandma so much, we lost her when I was very young so never got to learn recipes from her... Miss her dearly. But your very previous thank you so much.. Much love from Canada.
I love Italian Grandma shes a very good teacher
I never knew my Nonna, but have heard enough to feel Gina is much like her and she warms my heart!
I knew an Italian lady who put diced apple in her stuffing and it really added a nice flavor
I can watch this lady all day! She reminds me so much of my grandma... oh how I miss her!
I feel the same, Jen!
I'd love to hear more about Gina's faith life, church holiday traditions, etc. Thank you!!
She is adorable to watch, love her, you are so lucky to have her still around.

I love watching grandma Gina cooking and telling stories from Italy. Everything she cooks looks delicious.
Ciao Grandmother Gina!!! I adore your cooking videos! I am sorry to say that I had only precious few moments as a very young child with my Italian grandmother, as she died when I was only 5 years old. I remember she would talk to me like you do. She spent a lot of time in the kitchen preparing a big Sunday meal for her children and grandchildren, when we could visit. I remember her also making the sign of the cross when starting her work, as you do! God bless you Grandmother Gina!
what amazing memories you have. Oh, I so miss the grandmas from yesteryears, when they were about caring for families rather than todays who never have time for the families because they are too busy playing golf or at resorts. I longed, so longed, for the grandmas like that (vague memories from when I was so very young).
My dear Mama Gina, I thank you for this, and all your recipes, which you have been gifting us with and I always watch you with teary eyes. Teary eyes because of your sweet, innocent, ❤ loving nature. Teary eyes because you are so much like my dear deceased Armenian mama.
My family and I came to USA when I was 13 years old, in1963. When my little brother insisted on turkey, my mom said to me we don't eat turkey so we buy a big chicken and he won't know he is 5 years old. So mama made everything and we sat at table, my 5 year old brother said, "When I go to school on Monday, what will I say when teacher asks, "Did everyone have a nice turkey dinner?" I'll say no, just chicken? "So,we roasted a turkey every year and our cat ate very well, for many days after, because it took us years to learn to like eating turkey.
Bless you, my dear Mama Gina and a most Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thank you, so very much, i kiss 💋 your loving hands.
Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless!
Gina is a sweetheart! I love how she starts "Hello< I'm a Gina". God Bless this wonderful lady!! Happy Thanksgiving Gina!!
Dear Gina, I could watch and listen to you all day. You are such a special lady. God bless you!
You no alike, you no a make!! I love her!! Looks so yummy!! Thanks grandmama!!
Right. People can quit complaining and correcting her methods. You make a different way this is how she does it. Make your own videos. Don’t like, don’t watch.
Grandma Gina you are such a beautiful soul. Wish I was there to taste your dressing. Thank you for your videos! What a blessing you are to all of us. God bless you!
I love love love love love this woman...she makes me happy. "If you lika, you eata...if you donta lika, donta eata". I would love to spend the day with her just listening to her stories..and cooking. We could cook some incredible food!

I wish TH-cam had a LOVE button because Mama Gina deserves one,she works so hard
I made her eggplant... Omg I'll never make it any other way. I've been making eggplant 40 yrs. The best
Love Gina! Beautiful recipe! I’m a Sicilian girl! She remind me of my Mama.
I have listened to her tell the story about the "Roostie" a million times watching this video over and over, and it gets better and better.....I giggle out loud. Thank God for you Gina.....PS: I made this recipe last year and it was out of this world! I'm making again this year but for Christmas Day...XO
Listening to her tell her stories brings me back to my childhood in Canastota. I really miss so many of the people I took for granted as a child. Her recipe's are very similar to our family's. Great to see her passing on the knowledge.
I watch and listen while I work or nap etc. The best comfort to hear these sweet stories and enjoy this time in the kitchen as I used to with my own grandmas. Thank you for sharing!
I love watching Gina. She makes cooking " A labor of. Love".
I love Gina...I love the way she talks and expresses herself. Gina, I love you....
I love these videos. It is like a visit with a sweet grandma, medicine for the soul. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love Grandma Gina! And I’m so happy to see she has so many subscribers, big celebrations the day she reaches 1,000,000 subscribers!

What's a LOVELY LADY!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING HER WITH US!!!!
She's bringing back so many MEMORIES from my Grandma...
My Mamas parent both came from Italy.
Grandpa from Sicily and grandma from Milan..
I LOVE BEING ITALIAN!!!!!
Me too
Gina, I have to congratulate you again on this wonderful recipe! Not only for the recipe itself but also for the story; you are so authentic and you speak in such a natural way. I love you!
Love you Gina you remind me so much of dear mamma the way speak and all your beautiful recipes, love the singing and the Italian saying.
Gina, watching you cook with such love and listening to your stories, makes my heart ache for my Grandmas I wish I had known...
Makes my heart ache for my grandma I knew very well...
God bless you you do a beautiful job on your recipes
Thank you again, Gina for having us in your kitchen! Your stuffing looks delicious. Mine is very similar to yours but I use apples instead of raisins. I love your stories and I'm sure the rooster dinner was wonderful! Looking forward to your next video.
Grandma I love you so much ❤ I made this stuffing and i was eating it before it went into the oven 🤣it was just so delicious then when I baked it OMG it was amazing! Thank you Grandma for all you do and your AMAZING COOKING AND BAKING ! tonight I will make the ricotta cookies ❤❤❤
I learned this stuffing from my mother; just no sugar or raisins, but everything else the same. I make it every Thanksgiving for our family of 25-30 and everyone loves it. Also, years ago my mother had left a plate of Sunday gravy meat (2 lbs meatballs, brociole, lb of sausage) that she had browned on the counter before we went to Mass. When we returned, our dog who was quite large, had eaten all the meat. I think we had marinara sauce instead of Sunday gravy that day! Thank you again for always bringing back wonderful memories for me. Benedizioni a te.
Funny story....I wish I could of seen your parents faces when they got home
Nonna Gina is so adorable and sweet!! I love watching her cooking videos. Have a very blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!! I learned a new way to make stuffing, it looks so good. Thank you for sharing, God bless you 💖
I just love when u sing and I love your cooking
Thank you Gina! I am making a 3.5lb chicken today for my husband and using your recipe! You make it so easy! But at 52 yrs old I have not made stuffing/dressing in years but my hubby asked so you are my go-to chef!!
My italian grandma always put meat in the stuffing the same way it was always my favorite dish!! ❤️
This is my grandmother! Love you Gina!
I saw your roasted red pepper video and boy what a treat. I have made them every 2nd day ever since. Now I am going to try to find peppers that are less than $1.75 each! Thanks so much
You’re blessed to still have your grandmother. 😊 I’m all Italian too and both my grandmothers used to always tell stories of their youth and made you feel like you were there. They were also fabulous cooks and I miss them so much. The world is a different place when your grandparents aren’t here anymore. Happy Thanksgiving 2019
I am 67 year old from RI. My grandma was from Sicily. I love watching you and hearing you speak. I also like all your recipes! I only have 1 grandchild who is fussy eater so maybe he will not have any of these recipes I am going to try. God Bless you for making these videos. Salute! Don't stop ...it will keep you young! Cheryl Simone
Grandma Gina, you are a treasure! Thank you for sharing your recipes and stories with us!
Buone vacanze Nonna Gina! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love your stories. I wish I could come over and sip espresso with you and just listen to you tell stories all day. Such a wonderful heart you have and a beautiful soul. God bless you. Would you show us how to make some traditional italian Christmas cookies too, please?
I just love this lady!!! She makes me miss my grandmas even more! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video...keep them coming....👍🏻
I love how you make all of your food. You cook the old way and so do I. So many of my friends have most of the new gadgets, yet they don’t cook and often go out to eat. Keep putting love in each dish. November 21, 2023.
We lived in Pelham bay the Bronx for 30 years I miss the old Italian ways, and festivals !!!!!! Love the way she speaks 🥰😇
Omg “ gonna try this on Sunday “ kids looks like they take care of mom !!! Good bless her !
We love Nonna Gina, she is amazing and reminds me of my Nonna Maria Carmela. She has the same accent, same way loving her family, and cooking. God Bless her
Gina is so so sweet and a great chef/teacher.
My Labrador did the same thing with a zucchini bread as Gina's cat did with the roaster. You have to keep a close eye on those little critters. Love you Gina! You always bring a smile to my face.
Grandma Gina, you make my heart happy! Your recipes are REALLY good, and the love you show people is amazing and keeps people coming back. Love your stories too! God Bless.
Mama mia! I just love her. Lol She's so adorable how ashamed she still felt telling her story of the rooster that fell. LOL Happy Thanksgiving, Mama Gina from my family and I in New York City. God bless you and thank you for sharing your culinary art and your wonderful family stories.
I just love this wonderful Gramma !! I love to listen to her talk and cook and sing ! I could spend every day with her ! I also blessed to be able to learn to cook her recipes ☺️ xx
This nice lady is gold...she knows everything very well. She is very precious and great too. She is so lovely, kind and clean. She speaks English very well. I wish to see her.
You children and grandchildren take of her well and visit her more than just once a week.
I love you Mrs Gina and I you wish health and prosperity.
Maggie from California
Sei bellissima . Sempre con un grande sorriso, mi piace guardare tutto quella che prepari. God bless you Gina.
A new recipe from grandma Gina! It's a happy day!
I agree, It's a happy day!:-)
That must be delicious,sausage, raisins and the usual ingredients for the stuffing,you rule Gina.
God bless her
Love watching her video 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦🇨🇦
❤️❤️
I love that your video taping your grandma! I love her videos. Wish she was my grandma!
Ciao Gina and family and, Happy Thanksgiving. When this video came up I just had to watch. My mom and auntie came from Lucca in 47 as war brides, married buddies. My uncle's family was also Italians from Lucca. Cherry farmers here. You remind me so much of my auntie. Looks, accent and, cooking. Even tho we're from a different region, the recipes are similar. I watched your ravioli video and can still remember standing on a chair (maybe 4 yrs. Old) and learning how to make them on my aunties table. My mom was the American cook, but I learned from both. My nonna taught me how to make the gravy when I visited Italy. Brings back so many memories. They are all gone now, but my son was lucky enough that auntie taught him some recipes while he was growing up. Unfortunately, neither one of us speak much Italian, mom said we live in America, we speak English. It's funny but she lost most of her accent over the years, but not auntie. Enjoyed very much your cooking. Grazie.
