Both sentences are correct.
I will not be able to come to dinner.
This means you cannot join the dinner event. It is the more common way to say it when someone is hosting a meal.
I will not be able to come for dinner.
This means you cannot come with the purpose of eating dinner. It is also correct, but it is used less often.
In everyday English, come to dinner is a little more natural.
