About The Second wife
The Second wife is a practical San Jose pick when location and flexible dinner timing matter more than a destination dining experience. Book it for an easy Skyport Drive meal, especially around work or airport-adjacent plans; choose Vito's Trattoria or Spencer's for Steaks and Chops when the night needs a clearer occasion feel.

With no verified cuisine, chef, price range, menu format, or awards detail available here, the safest way to evaluate it is by confirmed basics rather than by a fabricated dining hook.
