Con Pena--With Pity

The word "Pena" has different connotations, depending on the Spanish speaker.
In most latinamerican countries it means embarrassment, but in Chile and Argentine it means sadness.
As usual, the translation of "con penita" depends on the context. Never the less, as a Chilean, I'd say it's a cute way to say "with sadness".

There is no exact translation for "con penita" because it's an expression, but you could say: "with sadness" or "with regret" or "with pity" or "sadly", though they don't mean the same thing.
