My favorite food in Italy (or the whole world) are these three foods in order: Ravioli, Gnocchi, and Spicy Salami Pizza!
Spicy Salami Pizza is really good everywhere but my favorite Spicy Salami Pizza was at the very first restaurant we went to in Italy. We had just arrived in Rome from Barcelona, Spain and we were all tired and hungry, so we ate at this random restaurant close to our apartment that turned out to have insane pizza! The bread and crust literally tasted like sweet pastry and the cheese was amazing!
Gnocchi was always really tasty and I could trust it because they always made it the same, with tomato and meat sauce (which I didn't mind at all). I love dumplings too and gnocchi is basically mini dumplings with tomatoes and meat sauce. The best gnocchi I have ever had was right next to the Duomo (Big white church) in Milan. I liked it so much because they gave me a ton of gnocchi and some places didn't give me much. It was also really chewy and the tomato and meat sauce was really good.
My all time favorite food is Ravioli! I like it so much because every place serves ravioli with different insides or fillings. Sometimes it's meat, sometimes mushrooms, sometimes spinach and cheese with tomato sauce on top. There are all kinds of different ravioli so it makes it really fun. The only thing I don't like about ravioli is that at some fancy restaurants they give you like four pieces of big fancy ravioli and they think it will fill you up - but it doesn't fill up a 13-year old boy growing like a weed. My favorite ravioli (or food) ever was at this restaurant in Como, Italy. When the ravioli arrived I was really exited because there were 8-10 pieces on the plate. But after eating about two pieces of ravioli I nicknamed it "Death Ravioli" because it was the most filling ravioli ever! Each piece I cut into thirds and the thirds were about the size of a normal piece, so it was basically like having 24-30 pieces of ravioli. It was easily the best ravioli I have ever had and was a perfect portion for a growing 13 year old boy!
I'm really bummed about leaving Italy and the best food in the world. If I ever come back to Europe I will have to come back to Italy and get fat off of Spicy Salami Pizza, Gnocchi, and Ravioli.

Oh Jonathan, I laughed my way through this! Great writing. And obviously good eating.
