Choose sweet, ripe cherry tomatoes—of different colors if possible. Sweet 100s, Ida Gold, Red Currant, Sun Gold, and Green Grape are names to look for. Also search out interesting basils, such as purple-hued opal, piccolo fino, or Greek bush, in addition to the familiar big-leaved Genovese basil. Try to get good fresh ricotta from an Italian deli or specialty cheese shop. The supermarket variety is a watered-down version of the real thing.
