When a food is always delicious for you, can you say "it always hits the spot"?

My favorite food is Risotto. It always hits the spot.

My favorite food is risotto. It always hits the spot.

Yes, you can use that. Don't capitalise "risotto". It's not a proper noun. Your opening phrase isn't natural. Why don't you have a go at rewording it?

Risotto is my favorite dish. It always hits the spot.

Why is it no natural to say "my favorite food it..."?

Emsr was referring to the first line containing your question, not the example sentence.

If you find a particular type of food delicious all the time, can you say "it always hits the spot"?

I don't really see the need for "all the time" or "always". In general, people might like a food, but if someone served them a plate/bowl of that food that had been cooked really badly and was disgusting, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't find it delicious!
