Ohio eatery named one of the best hotel restaurants in America by OpenTable
OpenTable recently released its "Top Hotel Restaurants for 2025" list, and Il Venetian in Cleveland was named on the list by the online restaurant reservation platform.
The "upscale, modern Italian restaurant" features handmade pastas, fresh fish and seafood, fine meats, and artisan pastries and gelato, according to OpenTable. Some of the dinner menu highlights include grilled octopus, grilled long bone veal chop, wagyu carpaccio and blueberry risotto.
The restaurant also features artwork, chandeliers, sculptures and glasswork imported from Venice and other Italian cities.
"Above all, we offer a commitment to make food with love and care like they do in Italy," Il Venetian says on its website.
The restaurant on East St. Clair Avenue in downtown Cleveland was the only restaurant in Ohio to make OpenTable's list. No Pittsburgh-area restaurants were selected this year.
Il Venetian is open Monday through Friday for lunch and Monday through Saturday for dinner. It has a 4.8-star rating on OpenTable with 1,074 reviews.
OpenTable said it found the best hotel restaurants in America for 2025 with the help of Kayak, a travel services website. The list was determined after reviewing more than 10,000,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and "dining metrics" from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. The metrics, OpenTable said, included the percentage of five-star reviews and diner ratings.
"Trust us when we say these restaurants are worth the trip," OpenTable said of its list.
Earlier this year, OpenTable released its "2025's Top 100 Brunch Restaurants" list, and Pier W in Cleveland was selected.

Veralto Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
WALTHAM, Mass., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Veralto (NYSE: VLTO) (the "Company"), a global leader in essential water and product quality solutions dedicated to Safeguarding the World's Most Vital Resources™ announced results for the second quarter ended July 4, 2025. Key Second Quarter 2025 Results Sales increased 6.4% year-over-year to $1,371 million, with non-GAAP core sales growth of 4.8% Operating profit margin was 22.8% and non-GAAP adjusted operating profit margin was 23.7% Net earnings were $222 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share Non-GAAP, adjusted net earnings were $232 million, or $0.93 per diluted common share Operating cash flow was $339 million and non-GAAP free cash flow was $323 million "We delivered a strong second quarter led by outstanding commercial execution and steady, broad-based customer demand. Our rigorous application of the Veralto Enterprise System continued to support global growth and operating discipline, while also helping mitigate impacts from changes in global trade policies," said Jennifer L. Honeycutt, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Through the first half, we grew core sales mid-single-digits, expanded adjusted operating profit margins and delivered double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth. These results are a testament to the focused efforts of our global team, our durable business model and secular growth drivers across our end markets," "Based on our first half performance, stable demand across our end markets and our current assessment of macro-economic conditions, we raised our full year core sales growth and adjusted earnings per share guidance. Veralto's financial position remains strong, and we continue to be prudent in evaluating capital allocation opportunities to fuel long-term shareholder value," concluded Honeycutt. 2025 Guidance The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP sales, such as currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures. The guidance below includes the Company's current assessment of the macro-economic environment, including tariffs and the Company's actions to mitigate adverse financial impacts. For the third quarter of 2025, Veralto anticipates that non-GAAP core sales will grow mid-single-digits year-over-year with adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.91 to $0.95 per share. For the full year 2025, the Company raised its adjusted earnings per share guidance range to $3.72 to $3.80 per share, up from its prior guidance range of $3.60 to $3.70 per share. The Company also increased its full year core sales growth assumption to mid-single-digits, up from its prior assumption of low-to-mid-single-digits. The Company maintained its expectation for full year adjusted operating profit margin expansion in the range of flat to +50 basis points year-over-year and for its free cash flow conversion in the range of 90% to 100%.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Veralto Corporation's ("Veralto" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors: with respect to the profitability-related non-GAAP measures, understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers; with respect to core sales and related sales measures, identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers; and with respect to free cash flow and related cash flow measures (the "FCF Measure"), understand Veralto's ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures). Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure the Company's operating and financial performance. The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons: Amortization of Intangible Assets: We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe however that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to sales generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Restructuring Charges: We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Veralto Enterprise System. Because these restructuring plans are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Veralto's ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time. Other Adjustments: With respect to the other items excluded from the profitability-related non-GAAP measures, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Veralto's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. With respect to core operating profit margin changes, in addition to the explanation set forth in the bullets above relating to "restructuring charges" and "other adjustments", we exclude the impact of businesses owned for less than one year (or disposed of during such period and not treated as discontinued operations) because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period to period and may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. With respect to core sales related measures, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. With respect to the FCF Measure, we exclude payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
