wild greens
Sounds like a trip to Umbria, which is where I live!
They use "misticanza" here to mean wild greens. In other words, the greens are picked out back behind the restaurant.
So I'd use "wild greens" to alert the recipe reader. Misticanza can be quite bitter and a lot of people seem to prefer "garden-variety" lettuce.
Below is a recipe (in Italian) from Grosseto, and it lists wild spinach in the "misticanza".

Comment: "Thanks, it was clearly something like that, but it was the first time I'd ever heard of it (it doesn't seem to exist up here in the north of Italy where I live - none of my friends had the faintest idea!) Thanks for the recipe. Great."
