                      child: Column(
                        crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                        children: <Widget>[
                          Text( item.name,
                            overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                            maxLines: 2,
                          ),
                          Text(item.catgeory),
                          Text(item.price,
                            style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),
                          ),
                        ],
                      ),
                    ),
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ),
        ); 

I got error : Another exception was thrown: A RenderFlex overflowed by 7.3 pixels on the right.

AnyOne can help?

Just wrap your container with Expanded and use flex property as per your design and let me know its working or not

 return Expanded(
      child: Container(
        child: GestureDetector(
          onTap: () {
            // .......
          },
          child: Container(
            color: Colors.transparent,
            child: Row(
              children: <Widget>[
                Padding(
                    padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 15, bottom: 15),
                    child: Container(
                      width: 2,
                      color: Color(0XFF2B9FDC),
                    )),
                Padding(
                  padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 15),
                  child: Column(
                    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                    mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text( item.name,
                        overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                        maxLines: 2,
                      ),
                      Text(item.catgeory),
                      Text(item.price,
                        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),
                      ),
                    ],
                  ),
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

Change this:

Text(
        item.name,
        overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
        maxLines: 2,
        ),

into this:

Text(
        item.name,
        softWrap : true,
        maxLines: 2,
        ),

softWrap → bool

Whether the text should break at soft line breaks
