Gives you and me a round face-covering, bizarrely, in Santorini restaurant? (8)

I believe the answer is:

moussaka

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gives you' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'me a round face-covering bizarrely in santorini restaurant?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'me' could be 'us' ('us' can mean 'me' in some dialects) and 'us' is found in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
