Can I say " in das..." or must I say "ins"?
Is the contraction of in+das required, or optional. In other words, is "Ich gehe in das restaurant" OK to say?

It depends on the context ;)
For one sentence alone is 'Ich gehe in das Restaurant.' OK.
but not OK is:
Ich habe Hunger. Ich gehe jetzt in das Restaurant. here you have to write 'ins Restaurant'.
but OK would be: Ich habe Hunger. Ich gehe jetzt in das Restaurant am Rathaus. ;)
some hints, how and when to use contractions you can find here:
