Restaurants by cuisine

The cuisine tag holds one or more values separated by semicolons, such as pizza;italian. A regular expression finds the value anywhere in the list.

The query

[out:json][timeout:60];
area["name"="Napoli"]["admin_level"="8"]->.a;
nwr["amenity"="restaurant"]["cuisine"~"pizza"](area.a);
out center;

Run it

Live result from overpass.ch, cached for up to 12 hours. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

How it works

1. ["cuisine"~"pizza"] matches any cuisine value that contains “pizza”, alone or in a list.
2. Combine it with ["amenity"="restaurant"]; fast-food pizza places use amenity=fast_food.

Variations

• Several cuisines at once: ["cuisine"~"sushi|ramen|japanese",i] (see regular expressions).
• To see which cuisines exist in a city and how often, see count values of a tag.

Run it from your code

curl https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter \
  --data-urlencode 'data@query.overpassql'

import requests

query = open("query.overpassql").read()
r = requests.post("https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter",
                  data={"data": query}, timeout=120)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json()["elements"][:3])

const res = await fetch("https://api.overpass.ch/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/interpreter", {
  method: "POST",
  body: new URLSearchParams({ data: query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(await res.text());
console.log(await res.json());

Save the query as query.overpassql. It works the same in Overpass Turbo, QGIS and JOSM.
