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!

This comment is for the diligent and caring daughter and son in law that make this all possible. The care and love that goes into the videos, prep of ingredients, editing, and staging of food is absolutely astounding. You take such wonderful care of your mother and it shows in every video. Thank you for taking the time to share her with all of us. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Me too.
You know it's the real deal when she rinses out the jars, no waste! Brava Gina!
This woman is a national treasure ❤️! I absolutely adore her! I no longer have my grandmother to ask questions to when I get stuck cooking (or canning) something, so I come here and Gina always helps! A million "thank yous" and God bless!
Nonna is so thoughtful that she set aside the extra sauce for her guests! I always want more pasta sauce and I appreciate she reserved some for people like me. 🙏🏻🥰 Grazie
I love this woman and her many delicious recipes. She is such an inspiration. All her recipes look so delicious. It was her recipes which first inspired me to cook more. Bless you, and your family.
I have been having such a lousy day, and here you are Gina. And I'm already feeling better. You make every day a good day. Love you sweet a Gina.
when she sings while waiting for the time to pass it reminds me of my little grandmother. grandmothers are so special and this channel is a fantastic celebration of these wonderful women.
Hug mom extra tight today for all of us who cant hug their moms. Truly a blessing to have a mom here cooking for you! I MISS MINE EVERYDAY!
So many "famous cooks" have done this recipe, but NO ONE makes it as clear as Gramma Gina. AND.... speaking as a video editor myself, shout outs to the person doing the edits. Two Thumbs up to you! Great job, editor person. Looks good!
....."what can I say, that's a so good"!! I LOVE WHEN SHE SAYS THAT! I'm making this for Sunday Dinner Grandma. Love you!
Grandma Gina! You are obviously what is right with the world. We are thankful you brought your kindness and talent to KZread. Bless you.
I love Grandma Gina’s cooking videos. She makes me smile. Thank you for sharing her! 😊
Nonna Gina, your cooking and singing brings such joy!
Nonna Gina! So good to see you! ❤️
I am so glad I found Grandma Gina this summer! I love Italian food & I'm learning a lot from her! My tomatoes are ripening, so I'm looking forward to canning Gina's way!
God Bless this woman just for being her.
Hi Gina. So good to see you
I love Gina. She's a total gem. She's so good at explaining what to do. I don't eat meat and I like Vodka! So this recipe is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing it Gina. x

Great to see you looking so well! Thanks Gina! ❤️
With all the chaos and sadness in the world, seeing Gina cook, sing, and smile really helps bring joy to people ❤️❤️
This is how the real vodka sauce is made. Great job Gina. My aunt Chichina would have loved you.
You always put a big smile on my face. You’re such a delight and I’m so enjoying trying to copy your recipes. You’re a gift from God Gina.
I sent this for my daughter's birthday which is Monday, Memorial Day. She is a vegetarian and will love it! Thank you Grandma, our vets, and we love you and this country too! ❤🎂 Yes, it is a beautiful day! 🌞🌺
We love you grandma, it's always good to see you enjoy cooking👨🍳🍲

HELLO GRANDMA GINA! OH I'm so excited to see you on my tele! Oh fabulous! I have to buy some vodka so I can impress my tummy with Gma pasta! Cia💜🙏💋
God Bless You, Gina!! OMGosh! Grazie for making another one of my favorite Italian dish! Love to hear your singing! You look Beautiful, as always! I will be making this soon to share with my friends. They are going to LOVE it! Stay well. Peace.
A big thank you to your son-in-law for his great job in filming you preparing your delicious recipes. I appreciate the ingredients posted in the corner of the video. Another wonderful recipe. I'm anxious to try this. Thank you Gina.
Bravo Gina 👍👍😘
I love seeing a video of someone making this sauce the RIGHT way. Thank you, Gina.
Yippee It's Gina!! This is one of my favorites...I'm so honored to see how you make it so ican (maybe) prepare it as good as you....(maybe maybe) love to you and family. I bet your garden is beautiful...but it has been hot all over . Bye 👋
Delicious as always! Wasn’t sure what I’d be cooking today and I thank you for this recipe and your beautiful voice as you sing🙏🏻💖
Gina ogni volta che vedo il tuo video mi porta on sicilia e quando canti sei sempre contenda ciao il signore ti mantiene in salute ciao
I’ve made both dishes that she has done. My husband loves it. Thank you for your step by step instructions. To add the beautiful accent and the singing- we need more like you Gina. Gina you are a gem!!!
Welcome back Gina. We all missed you so much. Your recipes are excellent! God Bless You with many more healthy and happy years ✝️
I’ve been watching Gina for years….actually cried during first episode! Every time she uses a jar of her sauce, I cringe….watch the episode when she and “hidden” family members jar sauce in her basement….. liquid gold. Thank you family, for letting us be a part of your family….in this crazy world, we all need a Nonna ❤️
I love you Gina! I know people call you Nonna or Grandma! To this North Carolina born-and-bred Southerner you are my Italian Mammaw!!! God bless you!!!!!
I just made this, following along with Grandma Gina, and it's 100% the real deal! OMG...I can't stop dipping my fresh bread in it. If you are using canned tomatoes, spring for Cento (San Marzano's) or a similar imported tomato. This is every bit as good as the best restaurants (in NJ/NY) use. The best part is when she sings - just love it!! Molte grazie nonna Gina!
We love you to Nonna Gina!!!
I love this beautiful Italian lady🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
This is my favorite dish. She uses the top shelf vodka! Beautiful.
Gosh I love her so much
Out of darkness, Gina gives me hope. God bless.
I LOVE the idea of adding the peas!!!! Thank you sharing! Hope you, your family and your garden are all doing well!
you bring such happiness into so many lives. My Italian father has been gone for 7 years and your videos bring back such wonderful memories! I pray the holy rosary every night with my grandchildren!
Grandma is precious! (Great to see you're almost to a million subscribers!)
I love this show. I grew up in Endicott New York, and I’m not Italian or Sicilian, but everybody else around me was. This reminds me of the food I grew up with, I live in California now. And the grandma reminds me of every Italian lady in the town where I up.
Sweet, beautiful Gina.....that recipe looks glorious. Thank you for sharing it and hope you and your family enjoyed it too!
A grandmother that puts that much time in cooking, you know She loves her family & Friends. I really miss my grandmother, She loved to Cook as well. Love the recipes, thank you for taking the time to share with us All. May you have a healthy blessed Life🙏

Cara signora Gina, è sempre una gioia rivederla. Sul web ci sono milioni di video di mamme e nonne che cucinano ma nessuna mi trasmette quella bravura, quell‘amore e quel rispetto delle tradizioni che lei ci fa conoscere. Io la ringrazio di cuore per tutti i bei momenti che ci regala, la sua genuinità e la sua dolcezza sono molto ma molto di più di tutte le ricette fantastiche che ci insegna. Un affettuosissimo abbraccio 🤗
Oh thank you Nonna Gina!! I am 72 and don’t know why I have never made this!! It is definitely on my menu for Sunday dinner. I have never started my day d with butter. I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you so much for starting my day with a smile. 🌺
I just love sharing some time with you Miss Gina and am hoping for a stroll in the garden again this year. I’m gonna try this dish on Sunday and Hunny can’t wait. He loves meatless pasta dishes so this should be a big hit! Wishing you good health and many blessings. God love you dear Gina!!!:):):)

Although I don't understand the words, I love to hear you sing! ❤️
Nice to see you back Moma🌹
Ciao nonna Gina, I can honestly say you shine a light on the magnificence of your skill preparing your delicious Italian dishes. You make it look so easy that even a novice could easily follow each step to produce a good plates of pasta. And as for any the celebrity chef out there with their twist on the Italian style, and their small portions, they are not a patch on you and all the millions of nonna’s. God bless you Gina, with love xxxxx
My Nana was Gina too in Rochester NY You take me back there when I was little watching your videos. Thank you Miss Gina

Grazie Gina. Salvo tutti i tuoi video, perché mi ricordi mia nonna. Ero troppo giovane per apprezzare la sua cucina, ma apprezzo che tu condivida la tua con tutti noi. Dio Benedica.
It does look fabulous! Yummy! Thank you, Grandma Gina!
