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!

Will Berk, I grew up with a grandma much like her. She was so content cooking. Always wore an apron and little black granny shoes. She also had a green thumb. If she found a leaf on the ground stomped on, she'd bring it home an a few weeks later it turned into a beautiful plant. She was amazing! She had morning glories in her yard and I would wait for them to open up early in the morning. Italian grandmas were the best. At Christmas time I'd sit in awe as she wrapped gifts beautifully. OMG! So soothing. She and her sisters made hand made lace. I could go on....lol. Glad so many viewers appreciate Gina. She's the real deal!

Congrats on reaching 1M!!! 🎈 I’ve been watching you for a couple of years now and you are an amazing person! You truly deserve this milestone! To many more fantastic recipes and songs! 🍾🥂
Gina I LOVE your channel. My gramma Daloisio passed away when I was 19 years old and I always felt so sad that I was unable to cook and bake with her and learn how to cook great Italian food. But thanks to you I can see how to make wonderful dishes You are so sweet and I especially enjoy when you sing. God bless you and yours !!!❤
Granma built such an amazing channel :) Awarded by the ultimate milestone
I just adore her….her temperament and energy for her age are inspiring……congrats on 1M! But……it’s also a testament to how her loved ones treat her with respect and keep her going….this is also a toast 🥂 to you……
Italian Grandma, you brighten up my day every time I watch your videos. Thank you for the joy you have brought to me and so many others. Your love for life, family, and cooking is contagious and I believe that you are making the world a better place! Salute!
Tears in my eyes watching you have your espresso and biscotti 😍 Thank you Gina
Grandma Gina, we love you and bless you with your career. Thank you to your grandchild who helped you get your career started on KZread I think he’s a blessing too. maybe one of these days he can come on as a guest with you.
Who needs Netflix when I can binge watch Gina all day long. There's something about Gina' sweet soul that makes us smile and laugh. My husband is Italian and truly wished that his nonna was around when he was born. Love Gina's powerful message. I can't wait to make these fabulous looking biscotti! Grazie mille Gina xoxo❤
Grandma Gina, what you do for so many people (now over a million!) is priceless ❤️ What you share is what is needed in every home on earth. It’s not just about the food. It’s about the love. It seems strange to think about, but everyone knows, the food is better when the love is put into it. God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your love 💕🙏🏻
I am Italian and my grandparents were born in Rome! I am so proud of my heritage and you take me back every time I see you!
Oh my, she reached 1 million subscriber! So happy for Nonna Gina!
Love you Noni Gina! I was not able to get the opportunity to cook with my Italian Mother in Law, so watching you cook these dishes makes me feel thankful that I can still indulge my own Italian family with authentic recipes.
Congratulations Gina! One million is quite an accomplishment! I know I wait patiently for your videos. Love them!!

I love this grandma. I grew up Japanese near an Italian grandma who took our family in. She reminds me so much of her love for food and love for life. God bless you.

Hi Gina. I am a new subscriber. We are originally from Bari. I lost my mom a month ago and finding you has been a blessing sent from God.

Congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers. you are a real ray of sunshine and remind me a lot of my mom in the kitchen you do.

Do you know these pizzas? Thank you for your songs that remind me of Italy, take care of yourself and your family.

Gina, when I listen to you it’s like I’m sitting in my husband’s grandmother’s kitchen! She sounded just like you. The same voice. Same expressions. Same emphasis on words! You make sauce the same way his family does. You both cook the same as well. So I’m guessing you were both from a similar parts of Italy. I love your cookbook and all your videos. You are such a delight. Congratulations on a million subscribers. Hopefully they will follow your recipes and have some GREAT food.
I found her channel today looking for a meatball recipe. I absolutely love her, I found the meatball recipe and found this one too! She looks like my aunt with her delicious recipes. I love Biscotti cookies, I always want to know how to make them. Now I will make them to eat with my coffee and tea! Thank you very much grandma! You made me very happy learning the recipe and seeing your beautiful singing with the preferred Italian songs of my parents! God Bless you and you all too!🙏 Thank you very much for sharing!
Congratulations Gramma Gina! You are Much Loved. Blessings to All ! 😇

Hello dear how are you doing today?
Love watching her and listening to talk about her life with her sisters
My dearly departed neighbor, Rose Marie Ligotino, taught this southern gal how to make biscotti. She always said mine was better. I used butter…she used oil. When I was younger, I would make 3 batches at a time. Coconut pecan, white chocolate chips w/ craisins & nuts, and chocolate with nuts. I love watching you cook dear Gina. God bless you and your family.
Congratulations on hitting the One Million Subscribers Mark. Think of all those lucky people you have blessed! Thank you and God bless you!!!😊
Nona Gina, love everything about you. You cook and bake like my Nona did...I learned from her. You are just like her. God bless you and thank you for all you do.

Oh Miss Gina Thank you so much for this recipe. I love biscotti. Will be making this. Thank you for the tip of how to place the dough on the pan. Such a good tip. Thank you. Bless you. Love watching you and your Italian accent. I am half Italian. But my mother and aunts are gone, thank you for your recipes and your joy.
God bless you, Gina. And the son-in-law. And the whole family.

My grandmother is all the way in a village in india 🇮🇳 . Since her cerebral stroke she’s got quite a bit of her memory back it’s not 100% . It’s like 99% back . So watching grandma Gina makes me feel like she’s right here with me. Also thanks for the recipe I love biscotti but I’m always finding it with almonds mixed in with biscotti. Almonds make my throat itchy it’s uncomfortable 😣 . Walnuts however I can eat them with no problem! Thanking you Nona Gina for your yummy food and your blessings.
❤I just love when you sing the old songs…memories❤
I love to hear Grandma Gina talk. Her food looks delicious.
She is truly a joy to watch as she shared her Italian cooking. She makes everything look so simple.
