Go in to work has a very specific meaning that implies physically travelling to one's place of business.
Go to work can be used to imply focusing one's attention on a task. This usage could also be expressed as "get to work", which refers to focusing on a task or responsibility.

The first *generally* implies your place of work is away from where you are, and towards the centre of some place - a town, a suburb, etc.
For instance, if I lived in the suburbs and my place of work was downtown or generally in the direction of downtown then I could naturally say "I'm going into/in to work". It would be less natural to say this if it were the opposite and my work was in the suburbs and I lived downtown.
The 2nd is a more general expression that can work in any situation. It would work for the above situation where we used 'in to', but it would work in all other situations too.
