In fact the noun piacere is translated into ‘pleasure’. Life’s pleasures : I piaceri della vita.

Take pleasure in doing something = provare piacere nel fare qualcosa.

A. Thank you very much. B. It's a pleasure ( = don't mention it ). In Italian you translate ‘ It's a pleasure’ in : prego ( or ‘ non c'è di ché ‘ ).
