How can I (27m) initiate subtle physical contact with my romantic interest (26f) and where should I invite her for a second date?

Hello. I am a 27 yo man and I would appreciate your dating advice. I used the search option here and was not satisfied with the results, so apologies if you feel otherwise.

I have been texting with a girl that I have very briefly met back at the Unviersity around 3-4 years ago for quite some time now. Things are going pretty good and it's been a very slow burn until last Sunday when we met in person and, to say it lightly, I am very interested in pursuing a relationship with her.

We went to a fancy place for ramen and then moved to a local cafe for coffee. The entire thing lasted around 2,5 hours and we got to know each other more. I think we had a pretty good time. We met and ended the date by hugging and it was pretty chill. Not much more in terms of physical contact; I am quite reserved in that matter (as in: not wanting to scare her away or do something that is unnatural to me or would seem forceful) and, to be perfectly honest, she seems that way as well. She replied enthusiastically to my comment that I had a great time and would like for us to meet again.

The thing is, I am doubting myself where should I invite her next. I do not have a lot of dating experience and this is the first time I am genuinely interested in pursuing someone since high school. I would like to invite her to a fancy italian restaurant that I enjoy (nothing crazy price-wise, but classy). I'd have the option to invite her for a walk in the nearby park in case we would like to extend the date. I am mainly interested in getting to know her more (which would be easy) and naturally intiate subtle physical contact (which would be difficult as it's a dinner date and we would be sitted opposite to each other; and, frankly, I am clueless in that regard).

What do you think? Is another dinner date a bad idea? Does it seem boring? I can hold conversation with her easily and naturally, and have her have a good time, but I would feel awkward trying to touch her in that setting because of my lack of experience. I also thought about inviting her to mini-golf, which would be more casual and less talkative, and would grant me more occassion to naturally show physical interest. Probably no alcohol. I am reserving a classy wine bar idea for the third date.

The main reason I even post here is my emotional state right now, as I am very excited and would like to not f this up. So sorry about that! And thanks in advance!
