If you want to find out details like when were all the databases last restored along with some more information like who restored it, recovery model etc., use the msdb..restorehistory and msdb..backupset tables as shown below:
SELECT rh.destination_database_name, rh.user_name, bk.first_lsn,
rh.restore_date, bk.backup_start_date, bk.recovery_model
FROM msdb..restorehistory rh
INNER JOIN msdb..backupset bk ON rh.backup_set_id = bk.backup_set_id
WHERE rh.destination_database_name IN
(SELECT name from sys.sysdatabases)
AND bk.type = 'D'
Output:
destination_database_name user_name first_lsn restore_date backup_start_date recovery_model

The msdb..backupset is a very useful table and you can also get important details like the LSN (Log Sequence Number) used for a differential backup set.
