When I was a teenager we used to go out to cheap, very cheap Italian restaurants and feel like grown-ups.  $1 slices, iceberg and carrot salads with vinegar. The food was terrible in retrospect, but the place had table clothes (albeit plastic coated) and that made it sophisticated.

Many Italian restaurants are really just a single step up from fast-food places. It's usually no more than a dollar more, but that extra dollar per meal buys you a table cloth, low lighting, a fake flower in a vase at the table, and plastic cups instead of paper ones. My first date was at place like that called Cristo's. Worst pizza on earth. In retrospect, I would have been better off going to McDonalds, but it wasn't until date #2 that I discovered that.

That's the place.
