Compare with
Pizzeria vs Restaurant
restaurant
'Restaurant' and 'Pizzeria' both refer to places where you can order food and eat there. 'Restaurant' is the general term. There can be many different dishes there. 'Pizzeria' is more specific: pizza is the main focus there, even if there are sometimes other foods too. You can confuse the words because a pizzeria is often also a restaurant. If the type of food is important, 'Pizzeria' is more precise. If you are talking generally about a place to eat, 'Restaurant' is more natural.
