About Us / Guinness & Porcelli's Italian Cuisine History:

We aim to keep Mount Desert Island as beautiful as it was 200 years ago, and with that in mind we purchase as many locally produced goods as we can. For seafood, we purchase a majority of our fish and shellfish from Maine fisherman. For instance, you will notice there are no large shrimp, just Maine caught “popcorn” Shrimp, and all of our lobster is from the Gulf of Maine. Local farms are a favorite source for mixed greens, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, and other produce. We use only all natural/ethically raised chicken, eggs and beef, which never receive steroids or hormones.\n\nBeyond our sustainable sourcing practices, we have also eradicated the use of polystyrene foam, started recycling programs, installed efficient lighting and cut down on water usage.
