This woman is standing tall, is mobile, can hear and see with no problems, still gardens and cooks and all with a beautiful smile on her face. Truly incredible and inspiring!

Marietta is absolutely lovely. I love how her daughter keeps saying "calma, calma" which means take it easy every time her mom gets too excited ❤

I didn't finish the video because my eyes started tearing up when I saw her. I remembered my grandmother, I just missed her so much.

She is adorable! Strong, climbing up stairs and has a good sense of humour.

Marietta! You, my dear, are an absolute gem. I am soon to be 62 years old but up for adoption still. God bless you Marietta!

Michelin star chef: this easy meal was made with the simplest ingredients like fairy tears and unicorn blood. One spoonful costs $ 15000 Meanwhile, this gem of a granny whips out a whole pan of deliciousness literally outta nowhere. You don't even have to ask me which one I'd choose!

My nana passed away just a month ago. Whilst she never cooked pasta, her and I baked endless cakes in the past. Seeing these wonderful women still so lively with their love of cooking is just the best. Brings a smile to my face every video I watch with all the memories.

I never thought I'd see anyone that old be that hyperactive lol, it's absolutely awesome.

Lovely fiesty lady . Worked hard all her life and has a twinkle in her eye.

Pasta grannies isnt just about cooking pasta. You learn so much from these grannies, their resilience, work ethic, how hard they worked throughout their lives, bravery...there is so so much to learn from them. I have been binge watching it. Bravo to the crew who made this series possible. love from Australia

I like pretty much all of the episodes but Marietta is by far my favourite pasta grannie. So full of life and energy and so humorous too. Please never stop filming these great ladies with their wonderful recipes.

This is the second time that this granny is preparing a dish for this channel. I adore her

These nonnas are so amazing and inspirational. The strength and stamina at that age, after an already long hard life, that’s life goals to still be in such good spirit at that age. All the best for the upcoming birthday 🎂❤️

She has a certain twinkle in her eyes! Looks delicious!💐

I'm sure all these ladies are great cooks, but it’s their strong, wonderful characters that gets me every time.

We need to have a birthday episode on the day of her birthday so that everyone here is able to wish her a wonderful 99th birthday!🥺❤️

Imagine 55 years ago you get home from work and this wonderful lady invented your dinner from scratch 🥺

That little gesture at 1:48 where they gave her a coffee hit me by surprise. It showed me a little glimpse of her life. This woman is respected and she feels that. They protect and love her and deeply care for her. She must feel safe and surrounded by her family most of the time. These things are so important for a long and happy life. Unfortunately in my family and my culture elders are not respected and protected this much.

Great to see Marietta back in time for her birthday. Think it was meatballs she was making last time we saw her? Nice fresh seasonal dish. I'm always amazed that some of the Nonnas manage to cut their veg so finely with such blunt knives. Like the look of the pasta too, seems like it'd have good mouthfeel.

@elisaastorino2881

Make no mistake, those knives aren't blunt. They have a finely serrated edge that's very sharp. The amazing thing is that they're dirt cheap but still made in Italy.

@@elisaastorino2881 Maybe some are sharp, but I've seen some of them that look awful blunt. Maybe its from personal experience I found that a lot of their British equivalents were as sharp as a rolling pin. I remember sharpening the knives my mother used years back. When I returned the next week she'd deliberately blunted them again as she thought they were dangerous when sharp! Blunt ones are way more dangerous in my mind.

Marietta is my personal favorite. They're a strength, bubbliness, charm and cuteness to her whole being.

She is adorable and her lunch looks delicious.

She’s 99 years old with more energy than people half her age. What a lovely woman! Just goes to show, homemade pasta and tomato sauce is the secret to longevity. Carbs can’t be that bad ❤️

Marietta you're a love so sweet ❤ and those tagliatelle mmh they look so delicious.🍝

marietta’s giggles 🥰 adoro questa donna

God bless her! I hope I have her vitality throughout my life and hopefully reach her age. ❤️

She is so lovely, cooking and laughing. What a bless!

Another great old lady, respect and listen to the old people, they have got so much experience to give 🤗

Holy cow. 99 and still putting in that work. Incredible :)

O Zot cfare mrekullie! Cfare gjyshesh ! Nostagji per nandajen dhe gjyshen time🌟🌟🏅👏

She's so cute 😍😍 happy Birthday Marietta 🎉🎊

I was in an italian hotel multiple times. There a woman cooked for the family hotel business until the age of 97 than she died. Not for the money but out of pure passion for food and cooking. The pasta tasted incredible 😍 She may rest in peace 🙏🏻

A beautiful nonna 😘😘😘 Thank you for finding her I learn such a lot from these ladies

And yes, simple food with freshly prepared vegetables are the ingredients for a long life. Plus a good attitude, of course.

Happy 99th Birthday, Marietta! I cannot wait to see what you make next... maybe for your 100th? 🤗

So admirable! Not only she has reached an old age, but she is active, and can also make pasta for her daughter, that is amazing. And I might add that pasta looks so good!

She is adorable …beautiful smile full of life indeed

La vita lunga is because she is so adorable and happy! Much respect for her 💕

Probably my favourite PG video. This woman is incredible.

Fantastica, signora Marietta! Le sue tagliatelle sembrano assolutamente deliziose! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Oh, my gosh! That pasta was making my mouth water! And then the church bells at the end. Such a cozy, wholesome life!

I love watching the cooking shows where i can see their kitchens. Every one is different. I love her battered lid.

Bravissima, nonna Marietta sei speciale, ti abbraccio 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

Grannies across the world answer the question "How old are you?" by stating how old they *will* be at their next birthday!! Does this transcend cultures?! The food looks mouthwateringly tasty. So simple and seasonal, delicious . Also listen to how happy she is and how happy she makes others. That's a life well lived for sure.

This lovely lady just taught me my dinner for the following whole week lmao. Thanks for sharing this video, this sweet granny added a spark to my day.

Unbelievable, she lived to such amazing age and seems to be going strong and healthy. Maybe the secret is indeed a fresh tagliatelle with garden vegetable sauce...

Happy 99th birthday Marietta! 💐🎂🍾

Blessings for Marietta and her family.

I want to grow old like Marietta!

You are awesome Marietta.❤️❤️❤️

Marietta reminds me of my grandmother Martina. Her facial expressions and her personality are so similar.. I also love and make this dish, my gram taught me. I watch this one often...I almost feel like I had a short visit with my gram Martina, grazie mille🇮🇹❤

Just found this channel 🥰 love me some pasta and grannies that know how to make pasta

She's so spry and lively for her age. Bravo.

Marietta is my favorite.

Her eyes and her voice remind me of my grandmother 💚

Another gem. She may now live in Rome but you cannot take the countryside from Marietta. Herbs and vegetables are grown by her; The sauce is also her own. Such strength at her age. God bless her.

Respect for all these ladies :)) My heart melted =D

I was smiling the whole time,,,,a lovely video with a lovely woman,,,,

Still vibrant, spirited and lovely! I love how she uses a butter knfe to chop up vegetables-and why not?-it works! I'd marry her but my wife would object! Thanks.

Thank you so much for posting this in You Tube! I happened by chance to see this episode on German TV today, and searched You Tube in the hope of finding this. What a blessing this dear Marietta is! A hard and simple life, but full of joy for life and a heart full of peace , contentment and a wonderful sense of humour. This just radiates from this dear lady. By the way, I enjoyed the simple recipe. This is much more than "just another" cooking program. Excellent! I have just started making my own pasta, confessedly cheating a bit by using the wonderful Atlas 150 maschine from Marcato. It is such fun, the fresh pasta tastes a million times better than shop bought dried pasta. My great grandfather came originally from Picinisco in southern Italy. I feel like coming home when watching this! Thank you so much! I have immediately subscribed ❤❤❤
