PianoForte Chicago was started with the idea of promoting and making available the line of Fazioli pianos to the discerning public but quickly grew into a piano store with a wide range of instruments and piano-related services including accessories, recording, rentals, student performances, and lessons. Since its inception, PianoForte has evolved into a specialized piano boutique with a focus on selecting fine instruments at various price levels.

As part of the selection process, PianoForte has chosen to represent selected few piano manufacturers which reflect our philosophy of quality and ethics. These include Fazioli, Grotrian, Schimmel and Wendl & Lung acoustic pianos, and Yamaha digital pianos. Through these manufacturers, pianos are made available across all price points seen in the market today.

At the same time, PianoForte has developed a line-up of pre-owned pianos to sell in order to widen the offering and touch/sound possibilities including pianos by Yamaha, Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, Bechstein, Baldwin, and other high quality brands. The showrooms provide a unique setting to allow piano lovers to take their time and explore the possibilities of one or several pianos. When coming to look at pianos, it is recommended that one makes an appointment to ensure the best conditions to try pianos and discuss options with our staff.

At The Burger Point, we are committed to providing customers with all natural, hormone, antibiotic, and preservative free meats.

We are proud to have partnered with the Rain Crow Ranch to provide our customers a burger experience that is unlike any other. We are passionate about our food and the way it is prepared, from the cattle ranch, to our kitchen, to your plate, we are committed to freshness and continue to be an advocate for the ethical treatment of animals and the environment. Right now, there is a very limited number of American farms that are certified 100% grass fed beef. We are proud to be one of the few restaurants in Chicago that can honestly make this claim and back it up. All of our burgers (beef, chicken, and turkey) are ground fresh in house which guarantees quality and consistency all the time.

Our food is cooked to order, nothing is ever frozen, and almost everything is made from scratch. For this reason it takes a little longer than you may be used to, but you will taste the difference that is well worth the extra few minutes!
