If you have trouble making decisions and you like Italian food, Mariani's Pleasure Bar is the place for you. Can't decide if you're in the mood for eggplant parmigiana, manicotti, cheese lasagna or rigatoni? Mariani's offers a number of ''Italian Medley'' platters that give you a chance to taste several of their most popular items at once. Or think about ordering Mariani's signature dish -- Eggplant parmigiania, spaghetti, fried Italian greens and soup or salad. Mariani's menu boasts gnocchi, tripe, homemade rum cake and other hearty Italian dishes, served the way Mom Mariani used to make them. The Pleasure Bar has been a Broomfield fixture for 63 years and has been owned by the Mariani family for the past 23. The wedding photo of the elder Marianis graces the front cover of the menu and the place is decorated with trellises and floral garlands for an Old World Italian feel. You can sample various mixed drinks or microbrews for a reduced price from 4PM to 6PM in the 25-seat bar. And on Saturday afternoons, enjoy a game of darts with a friendly bunch of regulars. --Jennifer McGinnis
