They are similar in meaning. Literally, "over" imparts a sense of travelling across something, which could be a road, a town, a river, etc. However, in practice "over" in "go over to" may have little concrete meaning, and may be used more as a kind of idiomatic lubrication, or to suggest a relatively short distance.
