I would say "I like Italian food". This is an example of a word that can be countable or non-countable, according to context. The countable version comes into play when the phrase "types of" can be omitted. I like different types of cheese. I can also say I like different cheeses.

By writing "foods", you actually mean "types of food". When speaking in the general sense, always use uncountable "food".
