When restarting the engine helps for a little while, the Engine Computer is likely to have a diagnostic fault code in memory. Have your mechanic read that code. It will indicate the circuit or system that needs further diagnosis.

If there are no fault codes, you might suspect a plugged pickup screen in the fuel tank. They can collapse and block fuel flow, then stretch out again when the engine is off.
