"What is it that you want?" is more demanding and informal. "What do you want?" is a more polite way of saying this phrase, but it is still pretty informal and often considered a bit rude.

Hi Daisuke, these two sentences express the same meaning. However, the first one: what is it that you want? "what" is the focus. the second one: what do you want? "want" is the focus.
