The menu features a wide array of authentic Italian dishes with a modern take, with selections such as the Italian Farm Salad, Cacio e Pepe Pizza, Glazed Short Rib Cavatelli, Wagyu Skirt Steak Tagliata, and more, along with specialty cocktails such as the Ginger Blossom Margarita, White Peach Negroni and Italian Clover.
While Flower Child has blossomed throughout the Phoenix valley, the Gilbert location will coincidently also be the 28th storefront for the healthy eatery, serving as a well-received addition for the rapidly growing area. Menu offerings will include fresh staple dishes like the Mother Earth Bowl, Flying Avocado Wrap, Organic Kale Salad, “Forbidden” Rice Bowl, and more, while drink selections include the Signature Rose Petal Lemonade, iced tea, kombucha on tap, and a selection of local beer and wine. Flower Child Gilbert will open its doors with an exclusive preview of the much-anticipated fall menu, with the restaurant being the first to offer the specialty selections ahead of the official nationwide October 7th launch.
